I am bummed... My Peruvian Ghost died last night. Cyclosternum sp.
She was a wild caught beauty from Todd Gearheart that was captured at an elevation of 6000 feet. Docile and graceful, I will miss her.

I miss my ghost...

Yeah, she was awesome. I will miss her. When I bought her Todd Gearheart told me she was one of thirty adult females in the U.S.
I paid a chunk for her and she was worth it! But, that is the price we pay when obtaining wild caught T's. No reasonable clue how old they are or if they may harbor any parasites.
I have some more T's coming from Kelly Swift next week, so my ghost will be replaced but not forgotten.

A real shame but make sure too keep her body as someone even in years too come could make use of it.

If you'd like her to keep on giving, send her body to R.I.E.S.M. They can learn from her.

Sorry for the loss, huggles!

My Ghost...

Thank you all for your responses, I appreciate them deeply. I loved that ghost. I used to let her crawl around on me while I was watching the discovery channel, so docile and sweet. She never once displayed any aggression, nothing.
While I have preserved some of my odd species, I have unfortunatly buried my expired ghost outside between two Oak trees. I put some white marbles there to mark the spot. My ghost, my friend...
I have lost T's before but to be honest this is the first time my eyes grow soft remembering her. :8o
Got off the phone with Kelly again, next Tuesday brings new sweeties! I got the following coming:
1) 1" P.regalis
2) 1" Trinidad Chevron
3) 2" Bolivian White Knee
4) 1" C.R. Zebra
5) 1" I forgot Bicegoi
6) 1/2" Avicularia Purpurea
