My very first. G.rosea (fluffy) I don't really name my T's but it kind of stuck. Told my family when I got her that id a new pet called fluffy. Least were they expecting a bloody great nid!! So here she is:
The third to my collection the lovely little G.pulchra. Happened to stumble upon her online just after purchasing my smithi. Sold as female and by a local pet store i begged them to ship her out which they agreed.
Just stumbled upon this tiny little fella. £5 in total on ebay!! Poor thing arrived rather poorly packaged. Came in the pot filled with dirt wrapped in tissue. When i opened the package he had already got out so appeared to have been bouncing around in the dirt. Seemed healthy enough tho, couldnt get him back in his pot.Not that i blame him.
haha thank you. I just couldn't help myself for only a fiver. Shouldn't have realy as hopefully on Tuesday I should have a T.gigas & violaceus coming. Also I did politely mention to the seller about the way it was packaged and noticed after hed raised the price of shipping.
@kaz I'm glad he's listened. The Tapinauchenius do everything at top speed including feeding, I have both gigas and violaceus and they both grow quickly and move very fast.
That's great to know thanks. That's what's so fascinating about the arboreal species. I mean I thought my smithi was quick off the mark with feeding. But nothing like the irminia. Barely see the thing move and the crickets snatched up, and he's happily munching away in his hidey hole!!
well shes my only one that sits constant out in the open and doesn't give a damn if your coming or going. Aswell as good looks she definitely wins points!!
ohh that's awesome. Haha. You'll have to let me know. (if you want of course) if the packaging improved any. Be interesting to see If he listened any!!
