I'm getting so excited as my Harpactira pulchripes and Euathlus sp Red are coming on Sunday, and I've just heard that the pulchripes is in premoult but they don't have the rigours of the postal service to cope with as sym is bringing them by car.:D
Nice! My three new dwarves will be in tomorrow :). And I am tempted to get a Tapi sling thats listed for a fabolous price..but the room..where would I put it? And we're getting a cold blast from tomorrow night ]that doesn't stop til mid-March here in MA.

Just placed my order to close out my most wanted list (except for that myth they call the G. pulchra :p) Couldn't swing the B. baum on this paycheck, i had a really hard time talking myself into paying bills instead of buying an $80 T. Maybe when the tax returns arrives, which is looking like its' another myth lol.
So arriving next week, via Paul at PetCenter USA, unless weather delays prevent -
GBB
B. smithi
A. sp Peru Purple
A. seemanni
all between 1/2 and 1"

Now my current must have list is next to finished. I probably won't be ordering any more for a while as i watch these grow, Except for the G. pulchra. When some become available I'll be on that like..., well we don't need to go there ;)

And I just found out the order i placed at the containerstore 2 weeks ago or so? is now on backorder until 3/1. Have i said their customer service and communication is worse than that pile of sludge at the bottom of the outhouse pit? Why the hell couldn't they email and say sorry you items are on backorder blah blah? :mad: I won't be spending any more money there with that kind of customer service. Good thing i have enough amac boxes after this order finally arrives to upgrade all my slings until they're 2-3" or so and won't need any more.

You know, I was bout to pull the trigger on that 4" female from Stamps, and I realized something has been bothering me..i spent almost 600 bucks on my last order, and didn't even get a freebie. I know they're not a given, but that just..bothers me. I think ill order a few slings and try petcenter out. Tired of paying high dollar amounts for females anyway, and I want 4, not one.

Petcenter has freebies but you have to order at least $100 then add the $100 freebie to your cart, or the $200 freebie or so on.

I've read great reviews for Paul so i thought i'd try him as he had the largest selection of Ts on my most wanted list.

@Scoolman They're a myth until i have a pet box of dirt with a sling in it ;) I'm checking all the breeder sites I know of weekly just hoping to see them. I'd prefer slings up to an inch or so. Then if i get a male i'll still have a few years with it.

Agree, it still worries me every time I do it. Could not get down to Birmingham though for mine so had to take the chance. All worked out though in the end ☺
