Getting new Ts today

[AmberDawnDays]

I'm getting these new Ts today:

0.0.1C. Versi
0.0.3 E. Parda
0.0.1. N. Tripeppi
0.0.1. B. Emilia
0.0.3. P. Reduncus

I already have 0.01 B. Emilia and 0.0.1 C. Versi and I decided to get another of each. Euathlus Parda, Nhandu Tripeppi and Psalmopeous Reduncus are species I'm adding to my collection. I'm feeling very excited for the new additions.

Awesome, it's always fun to get new additions. Good luck.

I'm hoping to add Trix. Ockerti, Bumba Cabocla, and E. Sp red to my collection. Every time I look for these 3, I end up getting more slings and not the 3 species I originally searched for.

Haha, I know how that is. Lately I've been slowing down on the new addition to my T room. I'm trying to let some of the sling groups I have grow up and see where I'm at in terms of females and housing etc. Once I move out some MM to breeding homes and sale off a few extra females I have I'll likely pick up some more. That being said when I saw the E. sp. Yellow slings for sale I picked up all they had left in hopes of getting a male for my adult female. So I'm always on the lookout for a few species if they pop up. Unfortinatly the E. sp. Red juvie female I ordered didn't make it through shipping so I'm still looking for one of those.

Ugh, you lucky punk. B. emilia is currently second on my wish list (just under D. pentaloris). But I don't have the money for new Ts right now.

Not trying to entice you to starve for new Ts or anything but...

Damn, so lovely. Once I noticed that the GBB that is in my profile pictures was starting to lose the tiger-stripe pattern on the abdomen, I had to find a species that had it as an adult. The Davus pentaloris (or Cyclosternum pentaloris, or Cyclosternum fasciatum depending on who you ask. Isn't taxonomy fun?) was what I decided on to slake my urge for orange and black spider butts.

Here is my D. Pentaloris at about 2.5" dls. I think it's female, but im not positive on that. This one is super fiesty and a great eater with an awesome happy dance. I love it.

Congrats!

Oh my! Why must you tempt me so?

You know, I don't really need both of my kidneys. I wonder how many new Ts I could get for one...

Maybe check to see if you have any expos coming up near you. Near me there is a smallish one every month. I go about every 3 months and I always find slings for cheap and no shipping. I actually prefer it over buying online. Its just sometimes hard to find exactly what I want at the expos. Its very hit or miss.

 

[Ant]

Awesome. I received 2 slings today. A C.Cyaneo and an A.Genic. Both settled in to their new pots nicely.

Nah. I live in South Florida and don't have the means to travel very far. The only expo that comes around close enough to me is Repticon. I've gone a few times and there's only ever a single tarantula dealer with a pretty limited selection. And he labels them all with common names which dissuades me from buying because I don't want to have to ask what species everything is. Online vendors have been far more accommodating of my needs.

 

[Trenor]

@AmberDawnDays Be sure and post some photos of your new Ts when they come in.

Don't know how far south you are in Florida but Michael Carlton of Inland Sea Exotics is in Mount Dora and always has a big selection of slings at good prices. He is also a vendor here.

I will for sure post pics. I haven't posted any of my last couple shipments. Mostly because I'm lazy and the camera on my phone is terrible.

There are a couple guys who sell Ts at the expo near me. I usually keep a list of Ts on my phone that I want and have researched. I show them my list and ask what they have off my list. I've ordered online a few times, so it's not that I hate it and don't do it. I just hate the shipping fees. I know people say that Ts can easily be shipped over 2 days in good weather, but I've never tried it. I feel like it's risky and I'm scared for a T to die during shipping when maybe it wouldn't happen on overnight shipping.

 

[AmberDawnDays]

They arrived I'll be back after they are in their homes.

 

[Walker253]

You'll love the N tripeppi. They grow fast, eat great, and are so pretty

 

[AmberDawnDays]

Okay, here we go. They all arrived healthy and I did get a freebie B. Albo. I'll have to ask the seller if it's Honduran or Nicaragua. Here they all are. Please feel free to critique the enclosures. I welcome the feedback.

Here are the P. Reduncus slings. They all seem to be about 1."

One of them has already started making a web tube, but it's hard to tell in the pic below.

Then there are all these ones.


This C. Versi is the cutest.

The Nhandu Tripippi is hiding, but you can still see it on the bottom left.

This little Euathlus Parda is taking a stroll on the outside.

[AmberDawnDays]

And here is the free B. Albo. The enclosure looks wetter than it is. I just sprayed the top on one side, but it isn't as soaked as it looks, I promise.
