Didn't want to start a new thread because it isn't an announcement,
and the pictures aren't really worthy of a separate thread,
so I bought this one back from the dead...

Some pics of my humble and growing new collection..

This is how I have them now, 1"+ tarantulas in blue containers,
and 2-3" in green containers..
bigger ones have Exo-terra breeder boxes until I can improve on enclosures,
because I got a pretty overwhelming response,
(which was great ) plus the ones I have purchased..
(and still getting more.. I have empties ready for those)

I have about double what's shown here, after just a month..

Slings under 3/4" are kept this way..

My new A. geniculata, Pina Agria (means sour pineapple)

Measurement poses the day got her (crappy pics)

Here is an A. seemanni that made a super-elaborate burrow.. 2.5" looks male..

My RCF rosea MM, who is my only specimen from the collection I lost..

My new G. rosea "Cocoa".. she was just bluffing.. wouldn't hurt a fly

P. regalis I got just this week, bigger than expected... always good..

Thank you again everyone!!

Wayne, Mike, Tom, Lu, Jason, Hannah, TJ, Mina, Josh, Joe, John, Rob, Waldo, Alex,
Anastasia, Fredster, David, Spyder,
and anyone else I'm forgetting because I'm on 2hr sleep from last night!!
I could never thank you enough... and to everyone else who has yet to ship
or incubate a sac, you guys rock

I have a question....where do you get these containers/Jars with the Blue,Green Lids? Thanks in advance,Mickey.

 

[Mad Hatter]

Dangit, I haven't given anything to you yet.

Just wait.

I'm sorry to say I haven't yet shipped out your T's either, Miss Bianca - they will be on their way to you shortly... ran into some *trouble* this week and it's drastically affected my T-shipping schedule.

Just thought I'd let you know, I haven't forgotten about you!



And I still owe you a very very overdue review...

I hope you find your escapist OBT safe and soon!

 

[MIC]

A phone call from grandma would have been nice, but whats done is done.

I will send more if you are planning to keep T's again.

Something to remember though, people are more important than things,

(or animals ), don't let it ruin a relationship with grandma, that would be bad too. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Update: I have started my new humble collection
and I must say, I am very happy, I am truly happy.
In a week or so I believe it will have doubled,
and then there's a show coming up in 3 weeks or so.. very excited..

----------------------------

I'd love that!! So cool!

Thank you, I really do appreciate it.

I was very depressed with your drama Miss Bianca, but now i am very happy for you. As you have realized, the joy distances from the sadness just 'a few' solicitude from the others.

 

[Miss Bianca]

I have a question....where do you get these containers/Jars with the Blue,Green Lids? Thanks in advance,Mickey.

I get these in a discount/99cent store that's around where I live.

The ones with blue lids are 2/ $1 and the one's with green lids
are $1.19 each. They are each available with about 4 different colored tops.
They are very sturdy and very clear, which is what I love.

The small are hexagon shape and come in sets of two. Tops have handles.

The larger ones come in square and round, and are also available in a taller style, for the same price.
(Taller like for arboreals, which I may need to get soon.)

I had many with my old collection. Maybe there are some pictures up in the gallery..

Thank you very much, it's was a bittersweet summer...

I love having new babies to raise though..

I have many sp. I never had before and many old favorites also.

'Ya know, I usually hate people (retail will do that to 'ya!)... but this thread has renewed my faith in the few good ones out there! I can't imagine how you must have felt. My husband HATES my animals and threatens to do the unthinkable, but I know he never COULD.

It looks like you have a LOT of mouths to feed now, so I don't know if you'd be interested, but I can certainly help you with a crestie if you'd like. Not sure what shipping would run from the west coast (shipyourreptiles), but you can let me know if you'd like one (before the temps drop too much, though!). I have a crapload of babies, or even a juvie or two you could choose from. Let me know, and I'm glad this has all worked out for you in the end!

 

[Teal]

WOW... is all I can manage to say at the moment!

My heart broke for you when I read the beginning of this thread, and it made me completely panic at the idea of losing my entire collection...

but to see the amount of compassion, support, and help given to you by everyone here... that is just amazing. Yall are truly an awesome bunch of folk, and it makes me smile that "weirdos who keep big, scary spiders" (as the public would say) are such a supportive group.

 

[davegrimm1]

Amazing!!!

I sent Bianca a group of 8 spiderlings and some roaches for feeders and about a week later, she had said that they didn't arrive yet. After a couple weeks , I wrote it off as a total loss and planned at some point to send more.

It was a solid month later when the box arrived and Bianca said that everything was alive and well.
I know that Tarantula's and roaches are pretty tough, but this is truly amazing to me.

That just goes to show that you use superior packing methods.

Yes! It was truly amazing to see everything was well, since I thought what i had received was the replacement package.
It's great.. they were really well-bunkered

 

[Xian]

I'm pretty new here, so I didn't know about this ordeal that Miss Bianca went through until now.
So Sorry for Your Losses Miss Bianca.
And to all of you that helped her out, WAY COOL GUYS!!!!!!!!
