My first spidey (Avic. Geroldi) arrives Saturday!

My husband and I have decided this will be my birthday present (birthday Aug 8) along with a nice dinner out.

Robert from Arachnomania is going to be in my hometown on Saturday and is bringing me a nice Avicularia Geroldi, since his Avic. avics. are too young to move out yet. I'll probably get one of those soon too, but I decided to go with the slightly less common spider as well, and maybe even try my hand at breeding geroldis when it grows up.

Plus a geroldi is my first choice, and, upon reflection, I think I can accept a messy, poopy spider - you should see what the kitty does when his tummy is upset. Kitty diarrhea is exponentially worse than t-poop, I'm sure. And I'm usually the one to clean it because my legally blind hubby can't tell where it is, unless he finds it with his foot. Ew.

So yay, I'm getting my slobby, uncouth geroldi - looking forward to sitting around in our underwear together and having belching contests. Hubby and I are unfortunately not the most tidy and organized people on the planet, so the tarantula should feel right at home.

Any fellow Canadians with geroldis? (Thinking of future breeding loans here.)

Congrats on your first spider! Well maybe if your husband let you have this one he will let you get more if you want more. LOL if you get another Avics get a Versicolor they are cool looking and must be in anyones collection

I want a versi, I love how the spiderlings are all cute and blue like that - but they were even more expensive than my geroldi. I'll have to see how I do with this one before I get another. The only way I justified the expense of this one to myself instead of waiting for my $10 Avic. avic. was by deciding I would breed it when it grows up. (Please let it be a male, I don't want to supervise a breeding!)

Congrats on your first T, it will be the beginning of a hobby you can't stop. The 1 T will become 2, then 4, then 10, etc. you will never have enough T's.
