Can I buy a spider at a pet store?

Answer by  SashaDarkCloud (5764)

First, you have to do research for the type of spider you want to buy as a pet so you can tell how much care a spider will need. Then, you need to talk to owners of spiders which you can find online so they can tell you what owning one is like, then call your local pet shops.

Most pet stores offer a variety of tarantulas that you can buy for pets. You cannot buy most common spiders from pet stores, as they are wild, and would not survive well in captivity. Some specialty pet stores offer more species of bird spiders, such as other varieties of tarantulas.

Yes you can. Pet store spiders are usually larger varieties, such as tarantulas. The advantage to buying it in a pet store is you can find out how to care for the animal adequately. Also you can buy the appropriate tank with the necessary features to hold it in. You can always refer to the store for further advice.

I have seen tarantulas at pet stores. A spider is fairly cheap to buy and maintain. Spiders can get through the smallest cracks so choose his home carefully.
