New Arrival

[paul towler]

fat or ready to have a sack

as above looks gravid or is just a greedy pig

[mike halewood]

Well since shes only around 3" I doubt shes gravid, although one can only hope!!!
Shes been well fed then, and not feeding for a few weeks wont be a bad thing then?

Now I've got to start getting ready for tomorrows delivery!!??

[Colin D Wilson]

Allright Halewood.....

SPILL THE BEANS !!!!!

[Johanna Turner]

Now I've got to start getting ready for tomorrows delivery!!??

So are we expecting another new arrival Mike???

And it seems you may be catching me up?

Although you seem to use reason and a bit of sense when buying unlike me acting like a kid in a sweet shop! I've gone too mad!

Been doing quite well recently though, as I am itching to get a couple more Goliath slings! Holding off to see what's at the show.....

[Colin D Wilson]

Jo..

I think this Halewood charactors being a bit too secretive lately, might have to have a word eh?

regarding this "kid in a candy store" scenario i was starting to get, i've decided to specialise instead of obtaining everything that appeals, otherwise i would be taking on too much.
Just joined the breeding directory and will be concentrating on Grammostola species (with around 15 species commonly available there's enough to go at)
Got some adults coming over from europe with a friend who's been to some of the shows in Europe and private breeders over the last few months.
Formosa, pulchra and alticeps are definites, along with an orange colour phase of Rosea if all goes well.

gone all sensible i have !!

[mike halewood]

My appologies for being so secrective!!! I couldnt help myself. The new arrivals are here, and Im about to spend the long task of rehousing THEM all!!!

7 Pokies and 2 B. albopilosoms.

Im sure i'll be about later to post some pics. I wont be buying anymore T's at the show (yeh right!! ) but I will be collecting an adult female B. albopilosom. And hopefully some tanks from Custom Aquaria.

[Colin D Wilson]

hey don't appologise, got to have a bit of fun Mike, i enjoyed the banter, suited my sense of humour.
Had an insite on the 7 pokies, you mentioned them on another thread, but i had to play along eh?

won't be buyin' any more at the show eh? can we hold you to that?

regarding my post above, i'm on the lookout for grammy's, all sorts, all kinds. but i wouldn't be surprised if something else takes my fancy.

[mike halewood]

I should have added a wink after my appology!!

I love Gammostolas, although I only have the 2, my aureostriata looks ready to molt again, hopefully break the 4cm barrier this time.

Well I've just finished getting the enclosures ready and Im off the transfer some OW arboreals!!

Cheers Mike

I wont be buying anymore T's at the show (yeh right!! )

Yeah Right!!

[Johanna Turner]

To be honest I think that's what I want to do - just keep an eye out for either something I have been afetr for a while or the 'special' ones.

I do love the G, pulchra Colin and have a little sling who is a real character, my rosea sling just moulted today too and that one's a little sweetie.

Mike, i knew you would give in eventually, the force is strong in this one! lol!

[mike halewood]

The ones I got today where for a trade for my MM A. geniculata. I've only housed 3 of the 7 Pokies and Im exhausted, they incredibly fast arent they!!!!

In all I got 2 P. fasciatas, 2 P. regalis, 2 P. formosa and a P. pederseni. Along with 2 small juv B. albopilosoms.

The 2 fasciatas have been named Pinky and Perky and I've just seen one drag a hopper into the bamboo retreat!!! It was like something out of a horror film.

[Colin D Wilson]

That, my friend, was not a bad deal at all.

good luck with the rehousing.

[mike halewood]

So good infact Im hoping I can send a few back tomorrow, I think Pokies are a bit much!!!
I've got the biggest, the 2 fasciatas housed ina glass tank, so thats them sorted. But I've only managed to get one of the regalis into a container, and I cant get the film cannister it was shipped in out!! Every time I open the lid it legs it for the top, I dont how the hell Im going to feed it.. lol
