Hey Manville if Cobblehill is close to Chilliwack quit paying so much for Ts and shop out here (Animal House Located on Luckucuck[spelling?]way across from futureshop)
I dont know where chilliwack is. I dont think it is anywhere close to Cobble Hill though. I would shop there if i live close to there.

So, moved the male and demale into the same enclosure, but I shark tanked them.
The female was so docile... I tried to herd her into a flower pot to transport her out of the old cage using the mister, but she just sat there and said "let it rain". I then had to prod her one step at a time with a straw. When she finally got in the pot, she then decided to kick some hairs to show her displeasure. But she's off the yucky bark now and has a nice burrow and a hide. (best for breeding to provide more than one)
Will keep you guys posted as to any mating stories.

That is not a good deal but it is not too bad for a pet store.

Then I really feel bad... I paid $60 Can for my 5" (now 6") Rosea Female... with enclosure and a dozen crickets... but she never ate'em and they all died... (3 month premolt)

I would say that I lived and learned... but then I went to a reptile show and paid $160. Can for a .5" G. pulchra (now 2" and Black as night) and a 2" (now 3") C. fasciatum...

Now I deal exclusively with a dealer (Tarcan Please Stand Up) and have learned my lessons...

Peace Out

woah, 160 for a fasciatum and a pulchra is REALLY expensive for how small you got them for. Good that you know who to go to right now.

Peace Out

Don't feel bad, I paid $375 for a T. blondi that was about 7" from a pet store. it was my second T. Hmmm, what else, $149 for an H. lividum, I have paid some crazy prices at pet stores. Now I will only buy when I spot mistakes like this.
Martin rocks!

i guess prices vary regionally. congratulations on your deal. i love my B. albopilosum. when you subtract the costs for encloseur, etc, you got a really sweet deal. good luck. i got mine free from vayu son when he had a million slings after a breed loan or something. cute and fat little buggers.
