I was supposed to get a shipment of Ts in from Franklin at tarantula.us on Tuesday. Well the PO lost the box and I didn't get them till Thursday. Packaging was excellent, with fragile stickers all over the box. The 48 hr heat pack was still working as well. I was very pleased with my transaction and would recommend him to anyone A+. We were PMing each other back and forth the whole time while they were in shipment, excellent communication.

Here's what I got

1 5" OBT female
1 1-1.5" OBT sling
1 1.5-2" OBT sling
1 .75" C. Fasciatum
1 .5" B. Vegans (freebie)


I was supposed to get 2 1" OBT's, but one molted and he replaced it with one a bit bigger. Also we were both very worried about the fasciatum, and we were right, it was in half a death curl when I got to it, and I thought it was dead. I put it in ICU, in a warm dark place, checked on it 2 hours later and it was gone, hiding under the paper towel and doing perfectly fine today.


Here's the pics.








Smallest OBT








The bigger girl(hopefully ;) )









B. Vegans, already a little kicker









C. Fasciatum, already showing adult colors

Pre ICU after being poked a few times to see if it was alive.



Post ICU






I gave everyone some food, and everyone ate, but the female OBT, and the fasciatum, I thought it molted, but it was the result of the cricket molting. So maybe it was too big, and I gave it 2 fruit flies instead.

Awesome new animals! Oh, and just so you know C. fasciatum has the same color through out life. At earlier stages it is just a little more dull.
TBH

Wow you must really like OBTs. Before too long I will have to acquire one of these little guys, I love their attitudes.

Well the 1st time when I got my versi's it was fun, This second time, it was stressful, with them getting lost for 2 days. Now my 3rd package is coming at the end of the week. Hopeing it goes just like the 1st shipment.
