When I started keeping tarantulas, I came across a pic of the GBB and said, "
I WANT ONE!!!!" Well, 10 months later my day has finally come. This morning, I received three GBB slings from Mr. Paul Becker at Pet Center USA. All arrived safely, and in prime condition thanks to Mr. Becker's superb packing job. All three measure out at 1". These things are beautiful as slings!!! I can hardly wait for them to grow, though part of me wishes for them to look like they do as slings when they get older. But it's going to be so fun watching them grow and come into their adult coloration.
Mr. Becker was also kind enough to substitute a P. cambridgei juvie for the P. irminia sling currently being offered as a freebie. This thing is pretty good sized at around 3.5" to 4"....I couldn't quite get a measurement as the thing wouldn't stay still long enough to do so. I was able to get an estimation, but I'm going to wait for it to settle down. Quite the frightened and nervous spider, but relatively calm. No threat displays from this one, but I did get a "false-threat" from one of my GBB's.
Sorry about the pic quality. I will have a decent quality digital camera next week, so that should give these guys some time to settle in. I will get some better pics then, and update my photo thread.
