Thanks! And the tarantula was some sort of Peruvian species.. I can't quite remember the name it of . Perhaps somebody more experienced will come along and identify it.
The last pic of the Pastel is stunning, seems like a BPOM entry to me.
That is one crazy looking tarantula, I wouldn't mind holding that either LOL. I've only got two but they are still small, seems it's taking forever for them to grow.
