It died just as I was saving the post! All I could think is 'Oooohhhhh nooooo, I broke the forum! It's all my fault!
It's so nice to see everything back up and running... horray!

I am very pleased with myself because I managed to exercise a fair amount of control.
I finally met Amanda from Tarantula Canada and she is just as lovely in person! I had ordered a few tarantulas online from her and we made arrangements for her to hold onto them until they were in Toronto for the show. I would prefer that arrangement than leaving them in the hands of Canada Post.
I got my original order of a 3" B. verdezi female (I squealed a bit when I saw how gorgeous she is!), my 1/4" B. albopilosum and my 1/2" E. campestratus. Plus, I did cave a bit and buy up her only other 1/2" E. campestratus, bringing me up to two. I also couldn't turn down getting two Euathlus sp Red who are also 1/4". I have to get my reading glasses on to see all these tiny little ones!
I also got a fantastic deal on three bricks of the coco fibre for $6 and picked up another pair of the long tweezers because the other ones I bought are very awkward.
And that's it... surprisingly!
All my stash...
3" B. verdezi female
The bum end of one of the 1/2" E. campestratus (the other one has tunneled right to the bottom of the pill jar. I found a wee moult in there with them!
The ultra tiny Euathlus sp Red!

@VanessaS Great haul, well done. You'll still be needing your glasses in a years time for the E. sp Red, mine's still only 0.25" at just over a year old.

Hahaha!
I'm really fortunate to have them in different sized groups because of that. If all I had were the tiny ones - I wouldn't know what to do with myself!

That's what we do too. We email before shows for pre-orders. Tarantula Canada, Tangled in Webs are amazing, never had any issues with orders.I am very pleased with myself because I managed to exercise a fair amount of control.

I did drop by the Tangled in Webs table, but I didn't buy anything. I find them to be a bit higher priced than TarCan for the exact same tarantulas. I have heard good things about them, though.
Amanda has been extremely helpful. She responds very quickly to emails and is great when you have concerns and questions. I'm not surprised that they are the top breeders in Canada.
