The concept of mystery boxes is very interesting to me - who doesnt like surprises? I know a couple dealers offer them here in the states, I oughta spring for one some time. Interesting to see what you'll get!

Just the regular box for 12.5€ so 3 slings in a small box of any kind, OW, NW, Arboreal/Terrestrial/Fossorial, anything goes

The package is now in Stockholm, and it arrived there on the 29th, (I live in north sweden) so it will hopefully arrive by monday, maybe even tomorrow if i'm really lucky, as today is a holiday there is no post today but we'll see when i get it, monday is my guess though

From what I’ve seen online, Portsmouth Tarantulas seem to be the best value for money.

-: Update :-
Got my box today at around 17 pm here in sweden, all three slings are okay and in their respective enclosures / vials.

As i said i got 3.
C Darlingi (which i really wanted)
C meridionalis (which i had no idea even existed but its cool aswell, love spiders who web and burrow)

And the final peice, which im estatic about.
P irminia, One of my favourite new world species and an absolutely beautiful species
I paid 12.50 € for the box, along with an extra 12.50 € for shipping, and im really happy with the species i got. And, according to the prices on spidersworld.eu, i even got way more than i bargained for, The P Irminia slings there go for 25 € alone and ive seen some adults go for 125 €, and the C darlingi aswell as Meridionalis goes for around 5 €, of course its not about going profit, im just happy i got such a great deal on 3 amazing species

Nice I got a P Irminia last week but need to rehouse it as the one I've put it in is way to awkward for such a skittish T. I've finished setting up the new enclosure just putting it off so much because of how skittish it is .

My box was £30 but everything inside was worth £62. So if you dont mind what you get I cant see it as a bad idea, made my order much more interesting.

As I've only just started keeping T's with a P Irminia and a H Maculata and another two T's I think I've thrown myself in the deep end slightly.

I will 100% get another mystery box at some point in the future. Best thing aswell you can specify what you allready have so they'll try not to put that T in.
