Does anyone know of any places they are sold as pets? I live in Tampa, FL. A friend of mine had one for a while, and it was the neatest thing. I've looked up all kinds of stuff on them, I just can't find a place that has them, and I'm wary about shipping them. :confused:

Mantids and millipedes were banned for sale in the US earlier this year. :(

You may still be able to get some from the folks at www.arachnoboards.com

Really? I remember PetCo had them near where I lived, can't remember if it was earlier this year or later last year though.

They were banned in March of this year. I remember because the store I used to work in gave away all theirs so that Fish and Game wouldn't take them and euthanise them. :(

Ooh, I've just noticed that http://www.carolinaspecialtypets.com/ still has some available. The guys who run this place are FABULOUS, I've gotten bugs from them before and I can recommend them 100%!
