My husband decided to get me a T for my birthday after listening to me whine for months about not having one yet...So, we set out this afternoon to pick up a Costa Rican Zebra (A. Seemanni). Well, that's not what I came home with.
I ended up getting a little Cobalt Blue female (H. Lividium). Before you guys start, I know, I know, I know...not a beginner spider. In my defense, though, I surely couldnt give her any WORSE of a home than the one she had...1/2" bark substrate, way too big of a water dish, filled with visibly moldy moss, and nowhere to hide. She's also missing a leg.
The people at the store were kinda dingy, too...3 people tried to get her boxed up for me, then ended up letting me take home the container so I could do it myself. One lady said that she literally chased her across the table, fangs exposed. *LOL*
The hour car ride home settled her down, and by the time I had her new enclosure fixed up for her, she was pretty calm. I got some side shots of her (hopefully will post later), then put her in the fridge.
After 10 minutes in the fridge, she slid right into her new home. I'm hoping she'll settle down quite nicely.
