Have a Tarantula coming my way.....

[ABbuggin]

Have a new tarantula coming. I finally settled on a Venezuelan Suntiger (Psalmopeus irminia). It's a 3/4"-1" sling, so it has a way to go. :lol: I got just one for the time being. As soon as I figure out what sex it is, I'll purchase its mate. I'll make sure to post pics when it comes.

For those of you who dont know what they look like here you go:

And here's a vid on the 'tube:

Should have it Tuesday, cant wait. :wub:

Gee, AB... I'm glad for you! I'm just glad it's not on its way to my house, lol! :lol: It looks like a double/Siamese, hairy, Halloween skeleton hand!

Thanks. I plan on breeding them. It will be my first personal tarantula, but I have been caring for many species at the museum I work at for about 6 years.

O.K. Becky. I have a HUGE tarntula (rosey kneed, purple assed, I can't remember for sure) in a box adressed to The Becky L (the one who loves mantids) Manchester, England. On the customs form I have written, "This is just a fake tarrantula; are you sure you want to check? and on the lid I have written, "Handle with care! This bugger can bite through cardboard," so I think that they'll treat it well.

So how much is it worth to you for me not to mail it? Ten quid? More?

Please let me know soon, as I shall be going to the Post Office tomorrow afternoon.
