Hi everyone I've been in search of a curtain Tarantula called Poecilotheria metallica in layman's term a Indian sapphire ornamental, commonly referred as the "Gooty" or "Peacock Tarantula". I've looked up a few respectable places online and well because of the cold weather I'd be too nervous to spend all that money and end up with a DOA (dead or arrival), I know some places guarantee alive arrivals but with too many variables in the shipping contract, UPS or FedEx could be delayed for any reason and my guarantee would be voided. . .
Also I'm looking for a FEMALE only and most places can't confirm the sex because they sell them so young. . . I'd like a sub adult female with at least 1 inch leg span. Does any Tarantula breeders live in the Massachusetts, New England area? It'd be awesome if I could just go pick it up safely rather then dealing with the shipping bull crap. Please help a girl out. . . :shrug01::shrug01::
Below is a small list of the Tarantulas I'm locally looking for, note I'm looking for all Females with at least a 1 inch leg span.
Thanks so much,
Brandi

I have a few Tapinauchenius violaceus (Purple Tree Spider) slings, but I'm from the hudson valley of NY. i can ship when we have a little bit warmer weather. this upcoming week looks good, and the box will have a 40 hour heat pack
 
Just hit up a reptile show. I went to the one in Manchester, NH a couple of weeks ago and saw females for many of the species you mentioned. There's another one in March in Manchester. There is also one in Brockton, MA generally around that time as well as several in NY.
