hello one and all,been some time since i last posted but i thought id share last nights heart stopper with you to raise a smile on this wet sunday.
i have 8 tarantulas now including my pride and joy female goliath who is now so big and fat she must be over 10" span and only 5 years old but anyhow also in my collection is my pokie regalis who i bought from the spider shop last christmas and has now grown to adult,well last night i return home from the pub and went to the bedroom where my Ts and kept only to notice one door on the pokies tall exo terra house was slightly open,like about half an inch and i realised i must of left it like that when i changed the water some 2 days ago...initial panic set in and i thought well theres no way the pokie would get through that small gap so i got into bed...you know whats coming next dont you,at 4am i woke up after feeling a very light sensation across the back of my hand and i sat up in bed and turned on the light and saw a very large hairy pokie sat halfway up the wall above my head!!! .....i then spent the next half hour with various containers trying to capture it and knowing how agressive this lil bugger can be i did not want to get tagged..so the moral of this story is MAKE SURE THE DOORS CLOSED lol..and why is it only my old world Ts want to escape?? all my new worlds are quite happy all day doing nothing and show no interest in going anywhere...ive not seen my starburst babboon in weeks id best check hes still in there

i still have ten of the buggers though and they are lovely.
so moved the cabinet to be greeted by one very irate obt ,certainley learned not to take anything for granted with this one but its beautifuly coloured spider so i've forgiven him for "my" mistake and scaring the hell out of me
