Lol right ill go apply for a new address for this drilling rig and have a mail box installed. Lol that and i won't be on location to get it the safety meeting is at a conference center. I don't work in an office building and half the idiots I camp with would crush the package soon as they found out what was in it. For a bunch of supposed badass roughnecks they are all scared of a tiny spider or snake. Lol

The administrator at my work is afraid of snakes lol

I'll fly it in on the Creature Addiction helicopter.

Creature Addiction Helicopter???! Dude, that would be sooo badass!!

Haha. I thought that would be the best investment I could start off with.

What would be even cooler is if you could somehow fabricate it to look like a spider...:D

Then I could lower orders down with webbing in a nice silken sac.

Its not that far Rich you could just drive the delivery truck and probably make some additional sales along the way. Lol you know how ice cream trucks have that music... What's the tune yours will play? I'm thinking ittsy bittsy spider. :P just slow down through every neighborhood between there and here and turn the pa on and watch the kiddies come running to get their T's lol

If I can get a time slot right after American Pickers, ill do it.

But I would really like to work on doing a bug fair / expo.
I think that would be awesome!!

Does your state have bug expos? Im pretty sure MN doesn't we barely get snake ones

It's always the same people with the same stuff.

Make sure you check with my schedule so I can make when you get it going! I'd come for sure! Still think if you put it together and make it near the KY, OH, IN borders that would give you the best turn out.

We need something like that around here.
With educational talks!

Maybe more of a bug convention that's open to the public.

That would be cool and low budget to start. I do free snake and gecko shows for local boy scout troops and librarys and what not.

I was trying to stick with the corny pa icecream truck music but if metal is everyone's thing then I'd go with slipknots pulse of the maggots or voodoo by godsmack. That ones not quite Ts but I like it. Lol

Do they have any bug vendors at Tinley?

I dont know. My work schedule has never lined up where I could go :(

This is the "wolf" spider i found. Maybe he's a grass spider though? I fed him the smallest dubia i could find. It was still too big for him but he got it fine. It started to burrow into the substrate and he went and pulled it out and dragged it up onto that piece of wood and wrestled with it. I left a second, dead dubia in the cup too so if that one got away he could find that and eat it.

I think my boehmei is very close to molting. The black patch on her butt is bald now. Shes done some MAJOR renovations and moved a ton of dirt around making a very intricate tunnel system. I hope she becomes a more voracious eater like the vagans and GBB after this molt!

I'm not sure but that looks more like a wolf spider to me. I haven't seen one quite like that one.

Bald means you have a little hair kicker :p
I hate it when it gets in my skin. :/

No, by bald i meant the blackness is coming off, not her hairs.

Yea idk what he is. Hopefully he keeps growing for me though. I like him.

Yeah i think it looks like a wolfy. Wish me luck, gonna be transferring my fake widow tonite to this:

2 cool finds!!

Is that a pederseni on the cover?

I tried finding a tarantula keepers guide on my Kindle app, it's there but it says not available. Kinda stupid I wanted it on my phone

Bad pic but here is my big P. irminia :)

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/06/19/ezezemeg.jpg

Can't wait, should be getting a package in the mail today!

Mike the irminia grow pretty quick.
She is about 1.5 years old now :)

The best thing for them is to give them a tube going into the substrate. Mine seem very happy with that setup.

Let me know when everyone arrives !!

Oh and please be safe unpacking that OBT. :)

Can't wait to see your package mike! Hmm out of context sounds wrong haha.

Oh my...

Theyre heeere! Wished I was there! Lol they got there about 8:30 this morning and its looking like I won't get home to transfer them til bout 8 tonight :( what's funny about the shipping is if I had paid for overnight I would have paid more and that truck never shows up until after 10 am. Thanks Rich I can't wait to get home and see them!

You mean you don't feel explosive diarrhea coming on so you can go home now?!?!? Lol

Haha. Wow they got there fast!!

They didn't go into their vials until about 5pm so they should be fine.

Lmao. I wished it worked that way. Can't do that unless I want to do the entire day of training all over again on yet another one of my days off. So sadly I will have to wait.

Bah training days are for noobs lol I guess after I get to work ill have some pics to look at.

I hope she does well for you.
In my A. metallica set up (same as yours) I just keep the moss damp and just a little water in her bowl.


All the arboreal Ts grow pretty quick.
