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.

G.rosea sling:

@kaz A lovely bunch. I looked at those roseas on EBay just yesterday but decided against it for now.

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!!
