getting a green bottle blue

Ok so my breeder knows a buddy who knows of someone who has a few green bottle blues T's but they won't be here till wed or Thursday and getting one ok so here are my questions should I get male or female? What type of cage should I get? What substrate should I use? What's the best food for them? Do I need a heater for them etc under tank heater,or a basking light and do they need a water dish? And any other genral stuff I look for care sheets but each one says something different

Re: getting a green bottle blue

Females live longer, get a female.

My sling is in a 5 gallon Critter Keeper. Ten gallons will be an alright size for an adult. I have mine on Eco Earth. My younger tarantulas eat crickets, my older ones eat dubia roaches. I don't have heat on mine, but they are in a climate controlled room. If your room is too cold, a small under tank heater will be enough. I don't have a light on mine, but I do have a small water dish.

Keeping T's are SO easy. You can mist the cage if you would like but the water bowl will be fine. Now I could go on and on but the website 'arachnoboards' (another forum I am part of) will solve all your problems give it a look and use the search bar in the corner.

Looked into other ones for sale, that looks like about right if not a few bucks cheaper than what those kind go for. Keep in mind its like geckos and snakes, morphs (or rare colors/etc) are more money!

That said, i found one or two that had smaller (younger?) ones for sale for like $35 - $45, the more expensive ones are adults, ones with more blue, etc.

its just preference. I'd never spend over $50 on a gecko, I don't care that much, they're not my "thing" and for others I'm sure they'd much rather spend $100+ on a gecko than a snake!

Re: getting a green bottle blue

It depends if it's a male or a female, and what size and age it is. Females are much more expensive, and slings are pretty cheap because there is really little guarantee that they will live.
