We's re expecting!

A shipment of new T's this coming Tuesday. My wife really wanted a P. Metallica. So, I caved and said yes. To make me feel good she got me another Irminia as well as an OBT. Pics when I can get them.

Exciting! I can't wait for pictures. ;)

:sweeet:

Congrats :)

Congrats to you and your wife Eric!!! Can't wait to see the pics :gj:

I'm obsessed with p. metallica! Very excited to see pictures!

Today is the big day! Wife will be getting them shipped to her work, then leaving early to transfer them into different enclosures. I'm sure she'll take pics too. I'll post them up when she gets them.

Alright, a couple of pics of our new pick ups. The first is of the P. Metallica. It is about 1.25" long. It was on the lid of the enclosure, so the wife put some nylon over it to keep it from doing this again:

Good shot of the top of it:

The new OBT that I named "Angry Orange". Not the best picture of it, but will get a better one soon:

I haven't been able to get a good picture of "lil p" my new Irminia. But will when it gets a bit bigger. Right now it is roughly .5". The OBT is about the same length as the P. Metallica. Updates to follow as they get bigger!

Awesome new additions!!!!!! If you put in good comfortable hides for your pokies and obt's then generally as soon as you touch the tank if they are out they will QUICKLY run to hide. If you don't have good hiding spots then it can be a bit harder as the just run around frantically not really sure what to do. I have no doubt that you guys got it covered but just saying :D

Thanks Jeff! Working on a hide for the OBT. It has itself a nice burrow in the corner and is well hidden. The pokie, we have a nice piece of bamboo in there for it, but you are right, I think it may need a bit more. It'll make re-housing it a pain, but it really shouldn't be a problem. Already have in mind the type of enclosure we'll be getting for it. The lil Irminia has some good things to hide itself but it likes to climb the side and sit around where the lid is. I'm really hoping it matures out into a male. They may be a bit ugly, but kind of cool just the same.

Congrats :D Orange bitey thing! Hah. Very cool.

Thanks! Yeah, I was a little leary because of the name, but the OBT is considered the "bridge" for people wanting to own OW T's. And since we were getting the P. Metallica, we figured why not. Even though my mature Irminia scares me more because of how fast she is, lol.

Wife and I were able to get a better picture of the OBT. We coaxed it out of it's burrow which led to it very quickly running up the side, out of the enclosure, onto the carpet, into my hand, back on the lid to end up back inside the enclosure on the side. Fast little bugger.
