Archispirostrepus Gigas
It's not a Ball Python or a Tarantula, but I recently added two new multi-legged members to the family. Meet my new Archispirostrepus Gigas pair, Destiny (10" female, Stargate Universe) and Enterprise (8" male, Star Trek), from Ward's Science. A. Gigas was one of my very first pets as a child, but it was difficult finding another after my first passed away (Torpedo, 11 1/2" female, 7 years) due to tougher import restrictions on them at the time. Imagine how excited I was to finally find a nearby seller with all the proper import and shipping permits. They finally arrived earlier today, but I was not going to be home so I had FedEx hold them for me at my local FedEx office. Despite the blaze orange "HANDLE WITH CARE IT'S ALIVE!" signage on it, I was disappointed to see the teller handling it as if it was just a normal package (tossing it on the table, and then flipping it onto it's side). She was very shocked when I told her there was live animals inside and that she should be more careful. Thankfully everyone was okay when I got home, but I wish FedEx would pay a bit more attention to the packages they are handling.
