Congrats on your new T's and the awesome deals. I'm up to 9 now. Just got 3 slings in today 2 P. regalis and one G. pulchripes.

I love how you said "for the time being" haha. I'm the same way. I feel like eventually the whole one wall of my bedroom is going to be stacked to the brim with Ts XD.

when i order ts im usually preparred ... today i went to dollar store and bought all the enclosures... now im baking tons of eco earth all night because i just made it from brick last night.. drilling millions of holes and hot gluing... man this is a lot of work lol... i thought they would come priority so included 10$ for shipping cost, but instead synic shipped express ... he is awesome.. he said his ts getting here to a good home SAFELY is more important than some extra money... i was impressed SERIOUSLY

T. cupreus - 3" - 1.0.0 (mature male) (about right)
P. irminia - 3.5" - 0.0.1 (more like 4.5-5")
P. cambridgei - 3" - 0.0.1 (more like 4.25")
A. avicularia - 1" - 0.0.1 (closer to 2")
I have 6 B. albopilosum, all .75" or less, sex unknown (all about .25-.5")
A. diversipes - 2" - 0.0.1 (more like 4" easy)

I would indeed make a horrible carpenter. Glad they all arrived safely! So, there's what would be considered 4 "hot" T's in there, but the only one that has ever given me any guff is the P cambridgei, so watch out for him. Packing him for shipping was "interesting".

[catfishrod69]

Awesome bro. Glad they came in ok.

thats interesting... the Pcam was one of the easiest.. just casually walked into its new enclosure.. the IRMINIA is the one to look out for IMO.. it bit the stick i used to prod it with when rehousing.

I still cant get over the diversipes... that thing is HUGE.. i hold my sling all the time, and would LIKE to try handling the big one. what would you say this ts temperment is adam? did you ever handle any of these?

He/She/It is bolty, watch out. Just have a lot of room for her to run. I have another diversipes I got from xhexdx, and that one ran up inside my shirt. They are indeed fast.

i will DEFINITELY have to get the irminia and the diversipes new cages too.. the irminia is fine for now, but the diversipes is in a 24oz clear coffee style plastic drink cup similar to these avic houses in this thread http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/show...-arrived-today
