Picked up a GBB

I went to the Hamburg show, knowing full well I'd be coming home with a tarantula, but figured I'd find a nice little B. smithi or emilia. After talking to Anastasia for a while, she convinced me that I needed a GBB in my life. It's hard to argue with their beauty and voracious appetite, so I'm now the proud new owner of a ~1" GBB sling.

He/she doesn't seem to happy about the car ride.

Financial restraints :) I only brought so much cash so I would come back with 1 and not 10. I just so happen to have an abundance of Blatta lateralis and my dragons aren't fond of them, clearly the only solution is to acquire more Ts next time!

Well done, I couldn't have been so restrained :)

Once we move into a larger house in a few weeks, I will have far fewer reasons to exercise self control. With more space and a seemingly endless supply of roaches, there's no reason I can't bring home some more darling tarantulas :)

I also wanted to ask, this little T is nothing like a vitatta, but even so, I'd like to name it Enn. I know he/she will grow up to be absolutely stunning, just like your Enn was :) I conjured up some images via Google of what this little sling will grow up to be, and wow, are they incredible!

I'm sure Enn would be delighted to have a pretty little GBB named after her.

Enn it is. It's hard to imagine that this little peach and black colored sling is going to become such a colorful adult. I'm so excited to watch her grow!

I just love watching Ts grow and change to their adult colours. I amazes me how much they can change when they moult.

Congrats! I was at Anastasia's table and had to fight the urge to buy one of them! I am in a bit of a financial rut so I only allowed myself to buy my frozen feeders which I had intended on getting while I was there and possible a T or two for a friend of mine.
