Re: What I got at the swap
Funny thing is.. the one thing I wanted to get there, no one had. I wanted a greenbottle blue tarantula. I considered a cobalt blue, but I didn't really want to spend $40 on a horridly aggressive pet hole. :)
Next time.. the greenbottle blue is mine!
Re: What I got at the swap
Running out of money is the most effective way not to spend ;) I adore kingsnakes, so lovely :) The vinegaroon is a trip! What a neat little dude! I think he'd give my Mom a heart attack though, lol.

Shelby, i know someone that has tons of spiders do you want me to see if they have this greenbottle blue tarantula? I know very little about spiders so is this the real name of what you want? They are in illinois also and they do setup at lees show.Let me know ok
Re: What I got at the swap
Yes they do keep me busy, Vaughn.. I love it!
And thanks for the compliment on the pic there.. photoshop is fun!
Joe - who is it? I know Botar by 8s has some, but they weren't at the swap this time. I asked everyone who had tarantulas there if they had any, but no one did.
Re: What I got at the swap
Yeah, I think if my GBB ends up being a male, I will probably end up giving him to The Theraphosid Breeding Project (aka Bruce and Bill to the locals) for breeding loan.
It was nice to meet Shelby, although I was trying to find a guy I was supposed to give a tarantula to at the time.
I left with a Costa Rican Tiger Rump Tarnatula, an Usumbara Baboon Tarnatula, and this little guy.

Re: What I got at the swap
Thanks. It will probably be awhile before I can go to the swap again, as unfortunately it is hard for me to get weekend days off. Anyone know how much it normally costs to ship a tarantula?

Swift Invert's quotes shipping through DHL express is $30. (and when you order with him, he always sends a free invert). I'd guess it's about in that price range. I've shipped a few overnight but I've had to use bigger insulated boxes, since I only have one size. If you're planning to use botar, I have no idea how much it costs, since I know he's not using DHL anymore, since they lost his shipment of singapore blues. :O

I generally buy a lot of stuff from botar, instead of some of the other online inverts dealers, but I don't have to pay shipping costs, since he goes to the swap.
