Earlier this morning the postman brought me, or should I say us, as the T's are now both mine & my wifes. But back to the postman. A £70 box of 4 B grade Tarantulas, (Gimps.) Arrive. These are all missing a leg, so nothing that a couple of moults will not put right.
On arrival I placed each T in a large sandwich container & left it to de stress a little in a larger enviroment than it's postage container, while I sorted out new larger enclosures for them. All were well packaged & thus all arrived safe & well & all showed that their enthusiasm for movement had not deserted them, as I rehomed them. None showing any signs of defensiveness or aggression. So postage could not have stressed them too much.
The four new arrivals are..
A sub adult/adult, Aphonopelma Seemanni. (Costa Rican Zebra.) Who made my wifes day & possibly year, by deciding it would much rather gently & slowly walk up her hand & would definitely not want, from choice, to leave her hands.
A sub adult/ adult. Avicularia avicularia. (Pink Toe.) Who is now happily within the cleaned arborial enclosure my Haitian Brown came to me in.
A 6-8cm Monocrentropus balfouri (Blue Baboon.) A T I would never had considered due to the Baboon name, but who reading a little about them, I would have missed out on a beautiful T as a result.
A 8 - 10cm Lasiodora parahybana. (Brazilian Salmon Pink.) Who was the most lively straight out of the postage containers. All the others just sat still. This one was off the moist wrapping & ready for a walk instantly.
I feel like I have done really well. I have at least one T that I would not currently have considered & all 4 are lovely T's. So I feel like it was not just money well spent, but real value for money. So if anyone else has looked at this offer & wondered, give it a go, my collection was very well received here.
I'll get some photo's later.
