Well...I was in Columbus, GA, visiting my younger bro's apartment when he said the pet store had T's.

I went expecting Avics, Roseys, and Smithis....but found an OBT!

He/she/it is about 1.5"-2" (I ain't getting close enough to measure it...the thing's an outright bastard!)

Fun times getting it into a delicup and then into it's new critter keeper.


He's a bit more than if I had gotten him online...but I could'nt pass up getting an OBT (he had recently molted...and webbed up the molt)...he cost $26.99


And he is an absolute bastard...did I mention that already?


And his name.....I'm teetering between Pol Pot and Joseph Stalin. {D

Most Old World species have this attitude problem. Another name you might consider is Hitler or Castro {D

I thought of Hitler...but since it's orange which is close to red....I'm leaning towards the communists =D

Good idea. It can be the mascot of the communist party {D If you get a chance I would like to see a foto of Stalin. I have been thinking about getting this species since I need some Old World Ts in my collection

I love naming T's based off their nasty attitudes. I named my H.Lividum Mr. Sinister after he tried to bite, and then proceded to chase my hand out of his container when I unpacked him. :rolleyes:

$26.99 is not a bad price considering if you were to buy one from a dealer plus pay the shipping cost. Congrats on the addition :D

yeah...and now he's trying to burrow inside his hide (which is a small little cup since he's a small guy)
