Sorry, messed up that last reply. "They are very good at Birmingham Reptiles". My bad :p I did try to edit the post but the edit page never loads for me.

My home town :) They are a very at Birmingham Reptiles. Glad my post helped.

Must have been hungry. It's savaged 2 full size mealworms.

Wow, I woke up to some nice webbing from the fawn. Impressive!

I'm just super paranoid about privacy so I don't list my real DOB on public forums. I just click anything when it asks for DOB. And no scolding, I want to remain young at heart.

33 this year :( Feel 55.

Don't worry, old age is catching up with me too :p

This is normal :) I don't even attempt to feed them until around 48 hours. I'd just let it chill out. Give it a couple of days and then retry with feeding. Avoid poking and prodding.

Argh! My bad. I read this wrong, you're right he does have one. And great idea! I think the next 2 for me will be a C.lividus and T.blondi. Will leave it at least a month now.

I had a Sicarius hahni. It came via UPS. That day was so much fun.

Funny thing happened. Before he handed it over he asked me to sign for it. As I was signing he said "What's in here Tarantulas?" (non of the packaging said this though, maybe it was on his delivery report). I said yes ... but he kept the box in his hand for a good 20 seconds. Then he said "Well...

I just realised this thread is from October last year. How did that happen @cold blood?

Cobalt Blue for sure. Beautiful T. Infact, I'm adding that to my list of do-wants-right-now.

I'm not sure on the age. The seller listed 1cm slings but this one is about a 2, possibly a 3. I will measure properly soon. Just letting them chill out from their traveling for the moment. I have emailed the seller so should have more info later today. I cant wait to see them eat their first...

Got 2 new new babies today. C.huahini and a P.murinus. Already on the hunt for more ha ha

Reading the title back I can see how it looks now. Sorry, he he. I am happy my OBT just walked right in. How old is your OBT?
