Getting a pumpkin patch sling!

[Charmyknux]

I'm so excited! I've wanted one ever since I first saw a pic of the little buggers and I'm finally getting mine at the Cin City reptile show tomorrow!!
Does anyone else have one?

 

[khatchet]

I dont have one but i do want one. They look amazing.

 

[Charmyknux]

Figures. The weather got so bad here in Ohio that the Tarantula breeder couldn't make it to the show. Now I have to wait another month :'(

 

[harleyqueen]

Oh that is disappointing but you Will get one. Are they the ones that don't get very big ?

 

[Charmyknux]

Yes. They only get about 3 inches. So cute!!

 

[harleyqueen]

They sound really cute. Hope you get one soon .

[Charmyknux]

Ok. Went just a little crazy
There were THREE tarantula breeders at the show today, and they all had great spiders. I went from table to table, haggling and making deals and I ended up with four new slings
I got my pumpkin patch, gorgeous little thing! I got a teeeny tiny chaco golden knee, a new baby P murinus to replace my late female, and one that I've always wanted: a green bottle blue!
I was a bad girl today but I'm super excited! Pictures and names to follow

Fab its always a great feeling to have any new T, but when its one youve gone to get before but were let down, then its extra special

 

[Charmyknux]

Ok, super weirdness happened! I was rehousing the new slings today, and when I got the chaco out... its an avicularia of some kind!!
I'm so weirded out! The breeder handed me the wrong spider after I payed! And I have NO idea what species this is! He had several avics, so it could be anything.
WEIRD

 

[novakdesigns]

Oh gosh. Avics are stunning. One of my fav type of Ts but certainly not what you thought you had bought. Have you got breeders contact details to exchange for the chaco or are you going to keep it?

 

[Charmyknux]

I don't have his info unfortunately. I've had avics before and one right now besides this little guy.
I might be able to get that guy's info from a friend, otherwise I guess I'll just keep it

 

[Charmyknux]

Ok, so here are the little beauties
The Greenbottle blue

The Pumpkin patch

The Orange baboon (OBT, the breeder called it an orange bitey thing which I thought was great!)

And the chaco which turned out to be an avicularia of some kind

They are beautiful. I love how avics look like they are wearing little boots. Picked any names yet?

 

[Charmyknux]

All of my spiders have Disney themed names. I like Silva for the baboons, but that's allb I've got so far
