hi to everyone:

i'm sherwin from manila, philippines. btw, any of you guys from the philippines?

currently i own a cobalt blue (h. lividum), for other it may be very aggressive and some say its an expert hobbist thing. for me it's how you respect the T for it to show you respest in return.

i also have a thai zebralegs (h. albostriatum) or other call it thai edible T.

nice! also how long have you had yours? did it make a nice burrow?

also id have to agree on the respect idea. I got a P. murinus (usambara baboon aka p.terror) and even though its a little devel, i respect its disposition....
BTW this is my first T...what a way to start lol!

well i got it just last year around dec.

it's about 6months to 1year old, which is very common in that age in the pet T trade.

i guess if you ask me, h. lividum is the starter T. it will definitely show you how to treat T the right way..heheheheheh =D

You could order from people online.. The only problem is if anyone sells online in your country or would do out of country deliveries.

Hey hey! :) uve got a thread here...noneed to hijack raveness's thread then ;)

Im just happy to see someone over here thats geographically closer to me :D...how that helps i really dont know, but its kewl i guess:)...

Nice Ts u got as well...and my collection is more or less the same...a h.lividum, 2 h.albostriatum. I also got a c.huahini and a c.crawshayi, which i found for sale by luck as the tarantula trade here is VERY limited as well :(...I really would kill to see some arboreal Ts for sale...

I just checked them online :)
Those are some nice fish!

Were mostly into Pearl cichlids...Pearl cichlids are a recent fad in fish keeping here, and they are a hibrid species...the hobby is now spreading internationally tho...and they are easy to breed too, and we just had a batch of about 300+ fries :)

Are the Texas and the Devils easy to breed?...if they are, i wouldnt mind getting some...

I just remembered a freaky encounter with my cobalt blue. I was cleaning out her cage one time with chop sticks, you would think that you're safe with chop sticks, I looked up when I heard someone called me and I reallized the T ran up my chop sticks and up my arm. Now, you have to understand that, although I handle and love all my other Ts, the cobalt is the only one that I have not had the guts to even get close to yet. I was so scared but at the same time I didn't want to hurt her, so I just frozed for a moment, slowly with my left hand picked up a cup, and put it over her. At this time, she was already almost on my shoulder. I'm surprised I did not scream and run frantically around trying to throw the T off. Remembering that experience still gives me the shivers.
