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
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
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.
