a nice little lot you got on route there, im hell of an impatient I couldnt wait lol

[LanceHutchings]

Lol I cant wait either to be honest but with all this cold weather and the spiders having to be sent from Denmark I think its best to bite the bullet a little bit for the health and safety of the spiders

Will also give me time to set up some nice little homes for them and even a new one for me if i move before they are due to be sent !!!

Just a quick word of caultion in regards to buying Xenesthis Monstrosa at Hamm.
If you see this species for sale at Hamm or indeed anywhere else, it may be prudent to check out first who it is you are buying them from and more importantly how the species were identified as being Xenesthis Monstrosa.
I only say this as to my mind this is an extreamly rare spider to find in the first place for sale, let alone a properly identified one in which I would say 99% of the time it is not going to be the case. With any species of Xenesthis the price for these tend to be relitively high even for spiderlings so far as I have seen. So with this in mind the price for a really rare one like Xenesthis Monstrosa is going to be higher still and with no real way of being sure you are getting what you paid for, it could well be you might walking away with a really expensive Xenesthis immanis!
I hate to say it but mixed between the honest dealers there are the few that will take advantage of a top selling name and sometimes knowingly add it to a different species they know it is'int.
Off course this is not always the case but I would hate for you or indeed anyone else to be conned in a way like this.
all the best
Chris
P.S for Hamm take along a snorkle tube as this will be your only way of getting a good breath of air over the crowds!

Fingers crossed for the HONEST dealers on the day
