Finally Got One!
I have wanted one of these since I began keeping tarantulas, and this morning my ambition was realised.

good luck with herThe path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the iniquities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee. -
A BIG congrats, I darent ask how much that was !!

Very jealous!
Where did you pick that one up from or would you rather not say? lol!
Bearing in mind recent events though I think I would be scared to have such a valuable sling in my care (Not that I have had any problems with the other 19 slings that have moulted recently but...)Last edited by Johanna Turner; 27-04-07, 06:49 AM.Comment

I got it from thespidershop. I looked on there at work on Tuesday morning and ordered it right away, but by the time I had gotten home the same evening they were gone. I guess he only had 2 or 3.Originally posted by Johanna McMullen View PostVery jealous!

guessing by the size of it alexandria it will start to change in the next couple of molts. they go pale blue first and then the grey starts to dissapear, it wont be long. its usually 2-3 months between molts at that age.

Its going to look gorgeous! It is very worrying to have such an expensive sling though. We lost a vagans in a bad moult, but we haven't had a problem with the others. Fingers crossed that its a female.Originally posted by Sonny Howdle View Post

At the moment, most of the p.met baby's are turning out to be boys so if you get a girl then you are really lucky. i lost my robustrum today and my mum lost her intermedia yesterday so i know its horrible when your spiddys die. i have a brachy vagans waiting to make a sperm web for his girlfriend so when they have babys i will let you know.
