    Becoming part of the pokie club now!

    So I was telling myself I wouldn't get any more inverts until after I moved out...

    ...I was lying to myself. Went to visit Amanda from Tarantula Canada today with Alex.B, and came home with a Poecilotheria regalis, I'd give it maybe a 2" legspan.

    (sorry it's a really bad pic. Every time I touch the container it just goes to huddle on the bottom so I can't get a good shot)

    Beautiful pickup, they definitely have one of the nastier bites for tarantulas, caution is advised!

    Thanks! And yeah, the plan is "Just don't get bitten" after seeing RobC's bite report video from a female not much bigger than mine, it doesn't sound like a walk in the park
