So, went to my monthly local today expecting to come home with one or two more Ts. I ended up with 5 because 3 of them were freebies.
A young adult female Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, a larger than 1" Caribena versicolor sling, an 1" Pseudoclamoris gigas sling, a tiny Tliltocatl albopilosum sling and an equally tiny Holothele sp. blue sling.
The transfers went from okay to nerve wracking. The terrestrials went okay (the GBB took a little bit to get her to clamber out), but the arboreals... The versicolor was easily the worst. Climbed all over the place, jumped to the floor twice (thankfully I think it's okay), and overall took forever to get in the new container.
The gigas meanwhile I got it out of the vile just fine, but it moved a bit, and I looked away to start screwing the lid back on. I look again and in that microsecond it teleported almost to the top of the container. I knew they were fast but, what.It's pretty though, and had an old molt in the vial.
Finally, a better pic of the GBB post-transfer and all the setups overall. She's a beauty.
