biting the paper town

She was munching that paper towel like it was a cricket, i fed her a ton yesterday though!

LOL, but I love you Franklin. And after all your the one who listed her for sale lol. I think she just really loved you and she didn't want to leave. I think this will be the first box I open up in the tub lol. I better mark her enclosure "Highly Aggressive"

I sure hope not, I paid for a lady.


I really do appreciated it though, How were them lil orange devils packing? Maybe she just needs a good man in her life to calm her down a bit. You know the last time she molted?


If it pleases one of my ladies, and they decide to drop a sac, I'll make it up to ya lol.

LOL I was going to make a comment how maybe you shouldn't starve your animals so much and then maybe they wouldn't be forced to eat paper towels, but I didn't want people to get the wrong idea.

She's a lady! dont worry, she just doesnt act like one!

As long as she has all the proper working parts, it's fine with me.

She does. but he is going to really have to want it...

i smell necrophilia

Oh just wait, I have to ship one of those next week. I'm hoping it is that much fun.

I shipped a 4-4.5" to revolt and was easy, this one takes the cake for the meanest tarantulas ever. period.

Well the little buggers arrived. They are waiting for me to get out of work at my moms. I purchased a storage tote last night for the unpacking, and made up enclosures. I must say I'm very impressed with The Orange Cube (what I'm calling the enclosure for the OBT's). Normally I have a image in my mind what I want the enclosure to look like and it always goes wrong, this one turned out really nice for once

Ok, well I got the little buggers and unpacked them....



Franklin is that you?




Humm... dunno where I am, but this place looks great




I think I'll move right in...






She wasn't too bad. A few threat poses, and lots of slapping. But nothing too serious. As you can see I was able to tame the beast quite easily. I think Franklin over-reacted on this one guys lol. She sure isn't my friendliest T that's for sure. And I made sure something heavy went on top of her enclosure, just to be safe.


Now on to the orange cube...


These little buggers gave me WAY more problems then the cobalt. They were running all over me and on the floor. I thought for sure I was gonna lose them, specially since one ran on my brown shirt, and they are kinda orange and brown ATM. It was hard to find it in my sleeve, thankfully on the outside. Then I get two of them in, and I'm putting in the third, and it bolted in, ran into someone and they bolted out and across the floor. I was able to get all 3 in the cube, which I had added food before the T's, and this AM I see one has made a burrow and the other two are hanging out on the walls and saw two of them interacting, mostly pushing the other out of it's way, hope I don't have a bully.


Can you spot 2 of them here?



And the third...





THANKS again franklin, hope the little guys do well in there, and I'll be looking for a male for that vicious lady soon, I've got a MM RCF rosea coming in, and a MM OBT coming in, She has to get in line with the others lol.

Awwwww.....but Frankie, she was just tryin to give you hugs and kisses bye-bye...thats all.
Lol....I know my day is coming, but so far I have never had to try to pack up a nasty tempered T yet. I figure if I ever get bit....thats when it will happen.

I've never shipped a T either, but I've heard you can put them in the fridge to slow them down a bit, helps with fast and mean T's. But I don't know how long to do this for, so I wouldn't go testing on expensive T's. Also have read stories of people forgetting about them in the fridge and by the time they remember, they are dead. So maybe not a good idea after all.

i dont cool them or anything, just feed the day before and send them off!!!

shipping isnt too terrible, but glad everything is fine! did you find the fang marks in the PT?

LOL I forgot to check it, I was too worried about getting her into the enclosure, I tossed it in the trash with out even thinking.

Seems like my Cobalt is the exception. She arrived in a large deli cup (oddly with dirt instead of papertowel, same as the G North), and had no problem being prodded into her tank. Either the dealer over feeds them, or she's gravid lol. I'll have to re-do her tank, it's become a swamp in there.

I've had no problems with her since, She took to a clay pot, and put dirt and web up to the top of the pot with an entrance hole and I never see her out. An occasional leg, but that's about it. I can shine a light down her hole and see her though at feeding time.
