Got another order in this morning that i placed with palp friction a while back. Last time i had a hard time communicating with them but got it resolved and in the end i was happy with my order.
This time around things went a little better. We still had a issue with confirming my order but they still got it to me in time in surprising fashion and I'm satisfied with everything as of now. I say surprising fashion because they let me know it would be shipped yesterday but never heard anything after i replied to confirm my order just a auto reply that stated the shop was closed till mid April so i wasn't sure if they received my message as this happened last time as well. Didn't get my tracking information until early this morning and my package was here by 10am. Totally didn't expect it today since i never got my tracking info last night, i was just hoping to hear back from them this morning.
I am again very happy with my order and i really like the way they do things as fare as packaging and extras, twice now I've got a freebie and decals. just need a little better communication and it will be the best company out there.
Anyway i was able to cross 3 off my list. C.versicolor, P.lugardi and P.muticus as a freebie which is great because i was having trouble deciding between the lugardi and the muticus and i got both:D They really are good with guessing what to give you as a extra so thats definitely a plus. Here's my little versicolor, the 2 baboons disappeared into the burrows i started for them so no pics of them just yet.

Nice let us know what all you get!

Finally got them all in enclosures. I did the 200 dollar mystery box.

Here is what was inside:

P. Metallica
H. Pulchripes
H. Baviana
C. Lividus
P. Murinus Usambara

Well worth the 200 if you ask me. Plus this basically satisfies my collection wish list, lol. For now....

The only thing I didn't care too much for was the little vials the slings were in, they were super hard to get out, I kept thinking i was gonna smash them. But a little wiggle around the edges and was able to pull the paper out to unfold.

I like those for small slings but i know what you mean, took a little fidgeting to get my lugardi out but the muticus and versicolor came right out when i popped it open so not too much of a struggle.

My OBT ran out as well, no so for the others. I think the only thing left i need is I. Mira and p. Muticus . I think i can find them at the next show we have.

How small are you talking for the vials?

Here in Europe we occasionally get small "vials" with a flip lid attatched for really small slings (if I had one I'd post a picture) but the easiest way with them is to cut the bottom off and push the tissue all the way through and unwrap with the sling in it in the enclosure . Makes housing very simple but unsure what size vial your talking about

Probably the same ones you speak of. Just big enough to fit a pencil in maybe. With a flip top. I will try cutting next time. Thanks for the tip.

If they are the same ones easiest way I've found is to apply pressure with scissors and rotate to cut rather than snip it. More controlled so safer for the sling.
