    Reptile Haven,Boardwalk Pets both sell tarantulas.
    I order mine online and get them shipped over from the UK.Costs roughly a third of what you`d pay over here for one.

    Watch that venom--Unconfirmed reports of deaths in Africa due to bites from these--They have a habit of biting more than once and are extremely aggressive.Plus theyre fast a lightning.Its recommended to use a long handled tweezers to drop food into the cage and get a cage lock if you have kids around.

    hmm that's interesting, I have a fort hall babboon ....... but as a rule I dont handle anything that doesn't interact with me, and he/she barely shows up. It's a rarity to see him/her out of the hide.
    When Feeding I barely crack the top of the container open and drop the food in.

    Thats the right way to do it--you really dont want to open that cage too wide.

    Yeah I read they were quite agressive so caution is always taken :)
