ok, i went to work and had a <edit> day from the off, by the time i finished i was tired and hungry, it was a very nice night with the sun seting and no cars or noice, so was walking home slowly breathing in the cold fresh air. half way home my mobile rang, i thought it would be my girlfriend ringing to see where i was, cos she trying ringing my house after work. but it was my dad, "hello dad" then the news "pete, theres been a huge bang in your room and spiders are everywere!" my heart sunk, i ran home bursting though the door so find my mum shaking with fear, my bro was allready on the case, grabing stuff to put over them once we found them. i went up sters and opened the door to my room, the shock was not nice at all! all i could see was mud, broken cages and a shelf that was now on the floor. but no sign of any tarantulas, at that point i didnt even know what tarantulas were on the loose. i stood around and tryed to think what tarantulas were on the shelf, then a redknee ran across the room, to i put a pot over her for the time being, then i remembered, there was a redknee, salmon pink, green bottle blue, goliath birdeater, togo starburst baboon, OBT, and 2 chilean roses, one male one female that is gravid! so the hunt was on, 3 hours later i found them all, all fine but 2, the slmon was a bit broosed, and the togo was dead! cruched by the corner on the shelf landing on her. luckly the gravid female rosea was fine and only fell about 2" and landed on another tank, my female onramentals tank. so she was fine! thank god![/B][/B]
i took these pics to show you, you can see the corner on the shelf on the floor, the togo is under it, and it wasnt even her tank, it was the redknees, thats how much of a mess things were!!!
you can see the yellow toped cage on top of a tall glass cage, thats the female rosea!
the shelf resting on the togo!
this is once we found all the tarantulas and removed the shelf!
glad she didnt get out, she was really pissed off that her cage got landed on lol
well... all is well now, all the tarantulas are in new cages and eatting again once they have all settled in my mind and moved my room araound a bit to make room for a table, not a shelf, these to love birds will be trying to get it on
so hopfulling a happy ending to a freak incident :?
