Beerski have you buried it yet? I would advice not to do so and wait out a few days to be 100% sure it's dead or it starts to smell. You said you thought he was about to molt? Most scorpions don't move at all during the molting process and will appear like they're dead. Unless you see your...
What about Sven? Paul ripped him off too. This poor guy wasn't even involved in the trade that got Paul busted by the feds yet as soon as the feds had his butt against the wall he cowardly snitchs WAIT! WAIT! please don't prosecute me and send me to jail!! Bargain a deal with me because I have...
Have you politely inquired to the dad about the conditions those dogs are in?
Why don't you or your gf call the ASPCA and report this horrible abuse and neglect?
Animal cruelty should never be ignored. If you don't want to face your gf's dad you can always report his address anonymously...
Paul has anyone ever told you you're a funny guy? :D
Draychen imo that's no H. maculata. If I were you I'd get in touch with Timo Raab through his website http://www.baboonspiders.de/galerie.php?lang=en&go=3 or send him a PM seeking help http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/member.php?u=1445
I can understand both sides of the argument but this part I'm seriously not getting. How is it dishonest? As a business dealer you'd be getting more money in for the time and trouble of sexing it and the customer gets exactly what they're looking for. A win-win situation for you and this type of...
"I have seen the official photos of these seized tarantulas and have spoken with the people who have the seized tarantulas and have helped with their identification." Bertani
He didn't only speak with the officials who seized the suitcases, he's been helping id these specimens first hand...
Um, I'm puzzled why you think that has any meaning whatsoever. :confused: He posted at 07:56 am and edited his post at 07:58 am, just 2 minutes later and probably to fix typos. Precisely what is wrong with Steve Nunn posting what Dr. Bertani stance in this matter is? They might have spoken in...
I have read Mark Pennel's accounts on what Lee told him, i just don't think he might have given the whole story to Mark as he probably fears he could be banned from the BTS and blacklisted in the hobby. You can't believe the media sometimes, but when Dr. Rogerio Bertani :eek: is who's stepping...
A member from another uk forum brought up a good point that I have a feeling is the reason why they fined him so heavily and confiscated everything, despite knowing well enough that some of the species he had were not even native to Brasil. So far it seems he messed up by not following air...
Oh gosh, after having read everything if this other side of the coin is true i feel really bad for him as he thought he was making everything legal, but even if the quantity has been exaggerated and is far lesser than 1000 it makes little difference. I'm feeling even sadder for these 200-300...
Here's where i get confused because all the information i've read about says conflicting things regarding this, and some time ago a tourist from Brasil that I met while he was visting the island told me that it was not impossible as everyone thought. It was very difficult and pricey for the...
True, but i've also seen importers placing ads saying they've just got in a "FRESH NEW PACKAGE FROM (insert south american country you want, including Brasil, Ecuador etc..) to give you a brief example. I've seen the ads from "SALE! fresh arrivals into the USA from X country, so do all these...
That's great :wall: 1000 spiders lives wasted for absolutely nothing. The guy in question might be a well known (and even reputable) spider seller in the UK, but what he did was pretty reckless and plainly stupid.
It begs the question as to why he just didn't get a legal importing license...
