[QUOTE="SpiderDad61, post: 55385, member: 4152"] DO NOT order from reptiles n critters!!! I bought a T blondi from them. Even talked to the guy on the phone. Paid and had it next day shipped. Opened it up, and it was, 8", in a clear bowl n lid, packed in dirt!!!!!!! NO moist tissue, no nothing. Just bouncing around in a damn bowl of dirt. I released it and there was caked dirt in all areas. Even its poor mouth. I was pissed. THEN, I look closer, and it's NOT a blondi....its a stirmi!!!!! I call the guy, and he insists its a blondi, his "supplier" only deals in blondi, and I and my fellow keepers on forums think we are experts but we are not!! I try n prove the differences between stirmi and blondi and the patella leg thing, BUT he and his "supplier" don't make mistakes. We went back and forth and I just gave up. What to do? Return for a refund? Bah, it's still a beast. BUT I should have known this when I payed a "stirmi" kind of price for a blondi, I wasn't getting a blondi. Supposed to b a female to, BUT the abdomen is much leaner than it should be, and I'm not 100% when it comes to sexing them without the molt. Reptiles n critters = trash [/QUOTE]
