I threw you an upvote. I assume this is a legit question. A terrifying, but legit, question.
Ryv0n OP t1_jb9osff wrote
Yes thank you lol, it’s a new-age hobbyist thing :) I already own one but I had to get it sent over from NJ because no one seems to breed them from RI. $50 for overnight shipping for a better live guarantee thing. Obviously if it were locally I could save on that

Upvote from me! I'm also interested. It's preferable to have one that has been bred than wild caught but I have yet to find someone within state lines

Why do you want these? I am in Connecticut and these come in via the wood pile.

It’s a new-age hobbyist thing. More people are starting to see them as an unlikely pet instead of pests and I hopped on the trend

Alright…I need to be up in RI next week../I can see if I can capture a few and I can bring them to you if you’d like. We can meet up at a D&D or something…..I’ll be the weird guy with the spiders….

Dude that would be cool as shit 😂 Just make sure they aren’t pregnant or I’ll have about 50 extra for a few generations. If you’re serious abt this, dm me and we can continue this convo there

Lol- I’m not sure I’ll be able to tell if they are pregnant or not. Ok let me see if I can catch a few ….they are fast as anything but I got to figure out what I’m going to transport them in…etc. give me a few days and as soon as I get one I’ll DM you.

Got one today finally! I am heading to RI on Sunday…hopefully he survives in captivity that long. LMK if / where we can meet so I can hand him over. I’ll be in Warwick.

I’ve been wanting on too ! You can get them online but I’m so scared it’s not gonna be alive when it gets here.

I joined the subreddit r/jumpingspiders and they have a list of a few rebuttable breeders on a post. I got my first one from Arachne’s Realm of Spiders in PA. Arrived alive and healthy. Getting two more from Ophelia the monster.

Any place I can find camel spiders or some black widows? Some brown recluse? Also interested in a tons of really dangerous snakes.... WTF... Someone that was flying to Oklahoma got off in RI
Ryv0n OP t1_jb9pepp wrote
I’d look up some reptile expo’s nearby. Of course they’ll likely be held in a neighboring state but if you’re passionate you’ll probably still go, I’m planning to. Or just look up and explore some reptile shops

It’s the downvotes for me
