Hello

Just got 2 new T's today (from the really relly nice Jeff), one being a beautiful 3" gigas (i also got a parahybana, but thats besides the point). I'm gonna wait to see if this punk looks familiar to anyone....???? =D

anyways, standard discalimers apply about handling these bad boys.

here we go!
sorry the pics are bad, but i don't have a significant other to help me out here ;P

peace
dave

ah, crazy dave. :)

you know, i thought T. blondis were usually pretty defensive...

the one i saw on that Monsters show with jeff corwin was a really nice one seemingly.

doesn't it belong to rick? that's awesome that she was pregnant.

well each T is different, you know.

you know the deal ;)


it really just depends on the T, and yes that blondi is locally owned :)

me, i'm not crazy.. well not that crazy. I don't know what all the hype is over the gigas. I don't find them aggressive or defensive at all - none of mine, even though they are usually noted as such

but it just goes to show you that each T really is different!

=D

Just remember that when you breed that devil :) (slings I can handle)

Well, I can't wait to get my Ts tomorrow...Now to just find a local gal for the A avic. Maybe I'll buy him a harem. =D

btw, I think you're nuts for letting that gigas walk all over you. I guess there's a lot to be said for experience (and a health set of ba...guts)

coop, just the general shape, ya know!

my C.huahini has a teardrop shaped abdomen -- just the different kinds of Ts :)

how big is your gigas?!

and sean - i got my sling at Twin Cities Reptiles.
He's getting more slings in August, so i think i'm going to have to be buying more Ts for myself and some other people on this list..

let's see, i'm buying for 5 now =D but its cool! Glad to pass the good deals around!

jeff-- its really a cool T -- had to take it out tonite to set up the cage. No rearing, no biting, nothing.. real calm! I should also be thanking someone else, though, huh..?? ;)

i guess minnesota sure beat that T into shape.
let me know how your little buggers did.

thanks again!
peace

I've found H. gigas to be pretty docile till they get to about the 5" mark... that is when they go a little defensive. They are all a little different in that respect though.
