Nope, three weeks and counting so I'm assuming the trail is cold now and I'm out $540. Sadly it taints my trust factor but as the Osmonds taught us way back when, "One bad Apple don't spoil the whole bunch."
Not to be bearer of bad tidings but if upside down and legs drawn in for a full week motionless I think you have to envisage the worst because it sounds like an inverted death pose where something has failed during a molt. I hope I'm wrong but sorry should it turn out to be that way.
If he emerges from the primordial ooze where he seems to exist I'll let you know but I'm not holding my breath at this point. Never had problems in 20 years of online buying prior to this so the community seemed a very honest secure one and I guess I let my guard down. More fool me.
Wish I'd only seen the Feb 8 complaint about him by Geo Pep below. Alas, I didn't and after so many prior good purchase experiences with all the other sellers I've encountered through the years prompted me to use Paypal friends & family (no recourse), I'm now out $540 and very unlikely to...
JP, it is now an exact week since you totally vanished off the radar after a busy PM Conversation we were having to negotiate the price for 2 adult female T's (C Hosei Borneo Bat Eater and P murinus DCF kigoma mf). From the prior Tues evening until that Wednesday morning you had responded...
Slimming back the numbers a bit and these three ladies are for sale:
Poecilotheria striata - Mysore ornamental 7"+ $200
Lampropelma nigerrimum - Sangihe black 6.5" $180
Psalmopoeus irminia - Suntiger 6"+ $150
Preferring not to ship so just local Wilmington NC area for these please and could...
Sorry, these T's have been spoken for and shipped but as of right now I can't see how to actually axe this post entirely from the site. Moderator please remove if you see this.
I have a C. dyscolus Vietnam blue female 6" and a Phlogius crassipes female 4.5" that I'm looking to move on. Both in fine shape but both quite heavy webbers and I have a limited group (15) of display set ups in my office and I'm frankly not keen on all the webbing up.
You can have them for...
Maybe this won't be for the Tub 'o' Mud Pet Hole purists but I've found keeping fossorials a little frustrating because, well, I guess the label 'Pet Hole' says it all really, you don't get to see 'em much. Anyway, I therefore decided to revisit something I briefly tried years and years ago...
I understand; it's just the tiny scale, all those deli cups and having to feed widgey little crickets and so on. I guess I'm looking for the lazy mans T experience so I don't even feed any sort of crickets. If you can't handle full blown Dubia roaches, you're off the team in this house.
I think you're all saints for even taking on these tiny waifs. I'd rather raise a family of Tasmanian Devils! Smallest T I have amidst an admittedly only modest group of fifteen is 5"+ and 7"s and 8"s is more common. Just so much easier to deal with.
Trying to figure out which is the latest name iteration for this T.
Is it Phormingochilus carpenteri, Lampropelma carpenteri or Cyriopagopus sp. sulawesi? Seems they're one of the few other arboreals that can compete with the Pokies in size.
Thanks.
