Haha i should have adjusted that to say "15min is my max for anything to hold my interest." If a movie doesn't interest me after 15min, i'll stop watching. Clothe-less damon would definitely hold my interest for more than 15min ;)

Is AB's still really slow for you guys?? I'm browsing on tapatalk and threads are taking forever to load. Bp.net threads are loading pretty normally though...

Lmao! You kill me Mike. I agree with the movie thing. I have adhd I swear it the docs just didn't know what it was when I was a kid. Lol

It took me like 4 tries to get through the hobbit movie. And i liked the movie, was just too long, i kept losing focus.

I.got terrible ADD or ADHD they couldn't figure it out. Maybe both who knows brains always running running running.

Anyone have a clue how hard it is to focus on your job when there's a giant box of Ts waiting to be opened at the end of the day? Its driving me nuts! Lol I haven't even went through them to see how many of what there is. I don't get off work until 6:30 tonight and a 3 hour drive after that before I can start digging in. Excitment has officially turned into torture!

It's one of those nice days, I hope it goes by really slow...

Oh what were you saying Damon?

:p

Haha your day is gonna drag on and on.

Haha.

Early B-Day gift.
Just met up with Will Bird. :)

Now my BRB has a mate.

What a freaking day.

Just got done packing up the hentzi. :)

Ok so we had a feral dog escape at work today. We took it in from a no kill shelter that didn't have room. Chewed through a heavy gauge fence and was gone.
Chased / tracked it from 12-4 took a break to get the BRB. Then back at it from 5-8. Through very thick woods and very tall grass fields. Last time we saw it was about 3 miles away on some train tracks :(

I'm freaking beat and cut up from thorns.

On top of all that we woke up to find a baby Carpet got out last night. We have looked all over the snake room and can't find it anywhere. I'm hoping it will seek out some heat tonight.

Glad today is over!!!

So Damon, lets see some Ts!! and what did you get in Mike? I'm hoping for a package or 2 tomorrow.

Ughh! excitement turned to frustration! I got to bed about 4 am. so 150 T's in all. all transfered, fed, and watered. most importantly most of them are labeled! I didnt realize when I picked them up (he had them boxed up already) only about 20 or so had labels! He gave me an inventory list with how many of what type so that helped but only to a certain extent. His counts were off! Soooo friggin irritated! I still have a few i'll have to post pics of somewhere to get I.d. on. Sorry folks pics will have to come later. I was more concerned with labeling and feeding! This feels like it may have turned into more of a rescue. So as promised here's the list of what I ended up with.

2.) G. sp. maule - Gold Fluff
8.) G. sp concepcion - Red zebra
40.) G. rosea - common rose hair
23.) G. eurathus - Flame hair or RCF
9.) G. sp north - Northern gold
18.) P. scrofa - chilean coopers
20.) P. parvula - gold burst
3.) A. franki - gold dust spider
3.) E. uatuman - emerald skeleton
8.) E. truculentus - chilean beauty
2.) A. minatrix - minatrix pink toe
1.) A. avicularia - pink toe
2.) pink toes that need I.d. dont think they are sp peru purple as labeled
5.) E pulcherrimaklaasi sp green - green femur beauty
3.) E. pulcerrimaklaasi sp brown - brown femur beauty
1.) horned baboon that needs i.d.
2.) T. pruriens - Peruvian green velvet

If you feel as if it was more of a rescue. You might want to keep them away from your collection for a while.

In other news. Crystal is awesome.

Oh and we caught the dog a little bit ago. Its now back here and safe.

The rescue bit is just becuase of sub standard living conditions. By the looks of it he was housing them in the delicups. Most of the rose hairs and different sp rose hairs are over 3". Some of them didn't even have substrate. When I put water dishes in a good portion of them chose to drink before attacking the crickets I gave them. They all seem healthy other than being a little under fed. One of the green velvets is missing a leg but no other injuries as far as I've seen. And no worries they are in the qt room not in with my collection! I was to lazy to rearrange shelves last night so they got drug into the qt room and sat on the floor. Lol

I would be worried about mites.

The B. lats have been shipped. Hoping they will be here by Friday.

Chilobrachys fimbriatus
Bad pic but it molted during shipping.

Also got in some LPs :)

A little better
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/12/ymazena8.jpg

That's awesome! Another one for the wish list :(

Thanks Damon!

That genus has a few so its more than just one for the list :p

All the photos I looked at online don't do them justice. Really cool looking in person. I also read they can put GBB webbing to shame. I don't how but can't wait to find out.

Baby Carpet found! Was hiding in my girls bag. So he got to go to work today and we didn't even know :p

In her new home. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/12/a8uhyzas.jpg

And the hitch hiker

Bean beetle cultures I started 2 weeks ago...... Epic fail! All 10 dead and I only see 3 eggs in one of them. I'm trying 1 more time but this time I'm going to put 75 beetles instead of 20 in each culture. My original 2 colonies are producing like mad! My slings have been eating every 3-5 days and there's easily 500-1000 beetles in both containers.

More of what I don't need! Tiny spiders.

That sucks Damon. You think they just do better in higher numbers?

I have no clue but it won't hurt to try that theory. Lol

Wow, you guys have been doing lots of shopping since the last time I was here! :) Congrats on the lats, Rich. I like those so much better than dubias. I don't have anything to share that you all haven't already seen, but I have here my little Chaco that I started with, and my N. chromatus I'm guessing had JUST got done molting when I caught her.

http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p...psb1c1ca4f.jpg

Thanks, I wish they would hurry up and get here. Why do you like them better?

I love catching them in fresh skin!

I got in some Cyclosternum fasciatum in today. They are very very small.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/13/5yby6e6a.jpg

I like them better because they don't play dead or burrow. The babies are a good size for slings, too. But honestly, they initially won me over because I dug the way they all swarmed around like crazy when I unpacked my first box of them. :P

That's the main reason I want them, for the baby spiders. I also need another species to work with because my dubia supply can't keep up with demand. Word is catching on :)

I hope they get here today.

If they work well i'd probably get some from rich and try starting colony of my own. Since i already have the dubias going to feed T's i'd like to get just a couple adult pairs and see how fast they reproduce. Would be a cool experiment.

What's funny is I was looking into getting some B lats and Rich announced he was looking for them. Great minds think a like. Lol now if I can just find some ill be set. I've got a dubia starter colony coming next week. Almost got another hisser colony but they climb and Monica was like no not again! Non climbers only.
