Nice! One thing I love about going to expos is being able to see exactly what you're buying. Sounds like you had a blast and got some great deals.
For sure, it’s bi-monthly, which could pose a problem (as you probably know all too well). Going back in July for some P. auratus hopefully.
Just a little LOL. It's always such a great feeling when you finally track down the exact specimen you've been looking for. Do you have a name picked out for her yet? I love to name all of my critters but I know that some people don't. I hope your new arachnid buddies arrive safely.
I might've blown my summer budget in five seconds but it was so worth it! Nope, no name yet. I usually name my females, as well as some longer lived males, but not until I get a feeling for them as individuals and their own little quirks. All my spiders are given old people's names because that's my kind of humour. Thank you so much!
I am pleased to report that my order arrived today with zero deaths AND that I received an Ornithoctoninae sp. 'Vietnam Silver' sling as a freebie. Rehousing went smooth with no bolts or escapes. I am one very happy camper.
That's the species currently at the top of my bucket list and you got it as a freebie?!
Location, location, location....
What can I say? I've just got that flow, you know.
Ironically I can get this and most other rare Asian arboreals/fossorials for much cheaper than people in NA or Europe can. Still, O. sp. "Vietnam Silver" is one of the more pricey ones even over here.
welcome to the family Ursula 
Interesting. I'm excited to see what it looks like.
