Last weekend my wife was a bit bummed out so I text my main tarantula supplier and said if I  put $65 in your bank Monday, send me something impressive for my wife. He said he had just the thing and said no more, I didn't ask, I just put the money in. When I'd asked him on Friday he had nothing I particularly wanted, unbeknown to me he'd remembered that Belinda had wanted to collect the biggest three Australian Species......Today a nice chunky P. Goliath came in the post!!! Bigger than $50 worth, tiny slings are $25/$30. The rest of the ornaments I ordered for her from ebay months ago arrived not long after the spider. It was perfect. I put ventilation in two smaller enclosures I bought for her even though I had to choke on plastic fumes, no way I was sitting outside! She spent the day setting up enclosures and moving her spiders around and was like a kid on Christmas morning, it was great to see! ( Pictures coming )Also, because he had said Friday, my fortnightly payday, that he hadn't the tarantulas I've been waiting for I put $75 into my scorpion suppliers account to buy the juvie Flinders Ranges he said were coming in even though I hadn't heard from him for a couple of days, I just trust people, it'd just be credit for later if he had nothing imo.He said he'd sold all the flinders in facebook auctions so he'd do what he could, I said not to worry, we'll catch it up later.Well today I unpacked 19 flinders ranges!!! So much more than I'd paid for! His reply when I thanked him was "I told you I'd look after you mate" and he was having none of all this thanking. Aussies are like that, thank us and we'll tell you to F off, a mate's a mate and it'll be right mate so shut the ..... up!!!1.40 am Friday morning as I type this so pictures will come later!and now the powers out!!!edit again, the powers out for a few minutes and ive got huntsmans on my keyboard, cheeky buggers, I'm trying to type!</blockquote>
