Just a bit of fun...

[Enn49]

Last week I ordered a new sling, an Orphnaecus philippinus, as my 1st one died during a bad moult. This morning I received an email from the shop explaining the last one they had has a leg missing would I be ok with it and that they would send some freebies. Package will be here tomorrow.

My question is what freebies do you all think they will send me? If you want to see what they have available you'll find them here https://www.tarantulasbristol.co.uk/product-category/spiderlings/

Wow not sure the euro to American money transfer but the slings etc... are a whole lot cheaper on your link than with most sites in the u.s. Jealous

So after checking out the site more it has a feature to change currency. Which now confirms it is cheaper and has a huge selection. Very cool

Try the prices on this site. It's where I buy most of my Ts.
Hopefully it should come up with UD $ http://spidershop.pl/product-category/arachnids/slings/?orderby=price&lang=en

I love the Op. Mine shows herself quite a lot at the mouth of her burrow. I'm looking forward to pics of yours when it comes. Trying to learn more about the color variability.

This whole freebie thing in this hobby is fantastic. I don't know how that got started, but I sure like it! I do that with some of my tortoise buyers, but I've not seen any other reptile breeder do it. Can't wait to see what you get Enn.

Well the laugh is on me, getting all exited about freebie Ts and all I got was this lot

All you need now is a Goldfish Bowl to put the plants in and you`re away (The Goldfish is optional)

@LC72uk My son has claimed them for his Scorp tank.

Well that is not what I had in mind at all… What does a person say to that? "Ummmm… thank you???"

And sending forceps and eye droppers to a customer with more than 100 tarantulas? They don't think you've got that covered? That would be like sending me a free infant child car seat. My daughter is 11…

Well let's see the O. philippinus!

 

[Whitelightning777]

L parahybana or curly hairs make great freebies.

Yes, it made me chuckle although to be honest I've not bought much from them over the last couple of years because their service was pretty bad for a while. Probably won't be dealing with them again.

My first curly was a freebie, I fell in love with it and ended up with 3. 2 were males and have since died but the other is still with me and I also have a Nicaraguan now too,

If youre lucky, an albiceps or a moderatum

 

[MassExodus]

Oh..ok maybe a few fake plant thingys..

Hi Mass, wouldn`t get a moderatum as a freebie in UK, very rarely these T`s become available it took me over a year to get one and they are pretty pricey to, around £80/90 for a 0.5cm sling.

Yikes! And all I have to do is get off my ass and ride two counties over to find a wild female..which I will, eventually. Take comfort in this fact LC, I see spiders for sale commonly over on your side that we very rarely, or never, see for sale over here. Oh, and you might like this, I saw an adult coral snake a few minutes ago. He went under a bush before I could get my phone out. Two days ago I almost rode over the biggest rattlesnake Ive ever seen. He had so many buttons on his rattle it was bent double, lol. Neither were in my yard so I left them alone. You'd be in heaven here

Would that be the Texas Coral (Micrurus tener), they have a slightly different colour pattern to those found in the Florida area.
Any idea on the sp of Rattler, was it a WDB, I am hoping to be getting a Prairie Rattler around October time.

Oh and by the way if you should catch any of these snakes for me Mass.
My address is

I really envy you being able to see Ts and snakes in the wild

Lol, I aint messin with hot snakes! I think it was a western, the eastern db are rare around these parts, iirc. The texas coral was actually the only one ive ever seen in person. We've also got copperheads, which are beautiful(and responsible for the last two bites that came into the ER at work) and water moccasins that are too aggresive for their own good..

The trade off is triple digit heat, and flat fenced off property everywhere. I dont think theres a hill within a 50 miles..kinda sucks after growing up in Alaska.

You're right, I couldn't do with the heat or such flat land. How do you cope after the cold and stunning scenery of Alaska?
