I got mine around 2012 or 2013. If I'm not horribly mistaken, it may have come from Kelly Swift right before his shop burned down.

That's when I obtained mine and same person. In fact, the only reason the E sp Yellow didn't burn down is because he had all his slings in his home, and not the shop. He hatched these out himself.

I always wondered who were the other people who owned yellows in case mine was a male.

His shop burning down was a terrible event. The crazy part is he was in the shop all day, and it caught fire when he was gone to ship out some Ts, for only like 20 mins. He wasn't gone long at all. Really sad news.

I have an E. sp "Yellow" Adult female I bought recently from TBreeders.com just before his website shut down. She has been paired with a male and I'm hoping gravid.

Oh that's nice! I wish I had a female Yellow as my male is still walking around.

Do you have a pic of them? I hope you're successful, I sure would like to get more Yellows.

The MM belongs to a friend so half of any success belongs to him. But if I get a sack they will go up for sale here. the females pic was before paring she is much bigger now.

Rarely found at that size. Good luck. If I was you, I'd get a sling because who knows when the next ones are bred. They are around, but not that common. Plus w/no Chilean imports anymore, the supply is limited. Though I don't know if this T exists in Argentina, I have a feeling it doesn't.
Which was another reason for me to get it.
I don't mind the tiny size and slow growth. My GBB do the growing fast-thing, and my L.parahybana the growing large. :p

I believe i read that it was an export ban on certain species not all T's from Chile
At the moment I have heard from the Chilean Gov't that it's all Ts. I have another Chilean Federal official I intend to contact to get more details as it's that person's division.

I'll pass on sp yellow slings. I think I'd rip my hair out if I have to go through this again lmao. The main reason I got mine in the first place was to have an in person comparison of it to my sp red. Which, at the rate this little thing grows, my sp red will have long died of old age by the time it gets anywhere close to her size hahahaha

I wish scientists would classify these 2 both with cladistics and genomics to determine if they are the same species, subspecies etc.

I JUST ORDERED ONE! I'm so excited. I got an female at Net-bugs for a pretty penny but I've had my heart set on an adult female and figured I'd jump on it since this species is so hard to find and sounds perfect for what I'm looking for. So many of you have highly recommended them! According to the website, she will come with a sling. I have to be honest, I already have a juvenile (A. anax) and don't want to raise a sling and worry about my ability to do so, plus I don't really want to cut the heads of crickets. Should I just do it, or does someone want the sling?

That was fast! I'll keep you posted. I'm waiting until August for shipping since I'm out of town a bit this month and I want to make sure I have everything set up correctly. I imagine I can just send the sling off in the packaging she comes in. I don't know. I'll message you about it when I know more!

HI there- oh local might be easier so the sling doesn't have to do 2 trips, if you can pick up in person that would be sweet. My office is north of Seattle and that's where they'll get shipped. I'll get more info from Anastasia, but the website says she'll be shipped with one of her own slings, so it will be a E sp red also.
