I brought a 20 gallon to put my roaches in, now they have more room, more places to molt, and more places to hide.

I bought myself an Androctonus bicolor (I suspect I'll have it Friday or Tuesday) and various husbandry additions for the terrarium.

And stay away from Zoo Med's vita-sand. Yes it comes in stunning gorgeous color choices but the product cakes everything it touches. Replaced this substrate with playsand from Home Depot and baked a proper measure of that in a deep roasting pan lined with aluminum foil in the oven at 250F for 90 minutes, removes all the damp clumpiness and potentially hazardous humidity inducing moisture.

I got money. It's invert related if you use it to pay for inverts. :}

But, seriously, most of my seasonal invert purchases will be in the new year, because the online dealers/stores of choice are shut until the 2nd. :(

I got 3 Holothele sp. norte de santanders, 3 Haplopelma lividums, and 2 Brachypelma vagans ( all slings ). Also got a macro lens for my camera, so now I should be able to take better photos of my new pets.

Yep. I got six new T's and a tailless whip scorpion. Don't you just love husbands who are supportive of the addiction, I mean hobby?

Cool! Yeah I put my money towards the cage, but it was the only thing I got this year that was for fun.

One of the gifts my parents gave me was the book Insects: Their Natural History and Diversity: With a Photographic Guide to Insects of Eastern North America by Stephen A. Marshall. It's a monster of a book and is definately not a field guide. It weighs almost 7lbs! I can't recommend it enough.

Here's a link to it on bugguide.net.

My fellow Filipino hobbyists and I got together for a Christmas party. I won a custom made acrylic enclosure in the raffle.
