Ugh....I'm really upset right now....The person apparently emailed me yesterday night asking if this was a sure thing because they had other people interested. Stupid Craigslist and/or Yahoo did not deliver the mail until 20 minutes ago. What if they already made the decision to go with another buyer because I didn't respond quick enough? I sent them an email, but what if it's too late?
Glad you got them

As a rule, I always suggest contacting via text...it not only gives you more security with regards to who they are and finding them, but its way more reliable.

I personally always hate it when people respond through e mail...CL e mail is notoriously slow and unreliable. Plus it can take days to have a what amounts to a 2 minute chat. IME its super rare for someone to contact me via e mail and actually have it go anywhere.....I am actually not sure its ever happened to me once where an e mailer has made an actual purchase...maybe once....lol. I see a seller as 100 times more likely to be dicked around by an e mailer than a texter.....I don't take e mailers very seriously any more.

So glad it worked out for you.

I DON'T do this with CL because I don't want people to have my personal phone number. I did recently learn that there is an app you can use on your phone to have a different number to use for texts and calls though. Not sure if anyone actually knows about this, but perhaps that could be an option for such a thing.

Also- congrats on the new additions, @Tia B . I can't wait to see the pictures!

So, about the Ts! All look healthy, but the enclosures aren't the best. The P. irminia is housed in an opaque tub, same with the A. bicoloratum. Not the best for viewing, so probably going to update them soon. The N. incei's enclosure was far too large, so I downgraded her. The only one with an acceptable enclosure was the P. scrofa.

I tore apart the N. incei's cage snd saw no sign of any others, so I think my one fat spider theory was correct. OI000007.jpg 20180127_150101.jpg OI000005.jpg
This is the N. incei cage.

I love that the P. irminia is already throwing threat postures!

I still haven't decided whether I'm going to keep them all or not.

If you don't want them all, then you can send some to me. :)

Pretty sure that irminia is a female too considering how black it is. I may be wrong but I think they're sexually dimorphic even before maturity.

EDIT: I knew they were sexually dimorphic but I guess it doesn't show till the male matures.
