What you need is a racking system. I'm sure you could get one for adult BP's and be able to fit it where your cages are. Animal Plastics has some great racking systems.

A female spider would be great for your male pastel: you could make some bees!

Yeah, he's a nice looking spider for that price. But then you'd have to get a female pastel.

As a newbie, these prices are all I know...from what I've heard, especially from the guy I bought my 09 pastel male from, the $75 he sold it to me for was depressing in comparison to what he spent...and he was in amazement how cheap he got a spider at the local show...Are prices dropping THAT intensely?

Females usually go for about 275-350 while males tend to be a lot cheaper. My female was 340 shipped.

10/23/03 - an '03 female pastel. Pretty good one, but not great. $2,000
(Pastels are so cheap, they may as well be normals today)

'03 male Pied - FaunaClassifieds
2/25/04 - An '03 male Pied. $10,000
(Piebalds are under $1,000 today.)

2004 Spider Balls just hatching now! - FaunaClassifieds
6/21/04 - A pair of spider balls for $13,000. Everybody made fun of him because his prices were way too cheap. Later in the ad, somebody else said that they just got off the phone with the seller and the price jumped to $13,000 each.
