Today i received my latest additions, taking my collection to 16 (ive got another 2 arriving on saturday though so im not quite finished adding more haha)
Anyway i thought that i would use this as a review aswel as introducing my new babies [emoji5]
I used the spider shop again, lee and his staff are fantastic and ive always bought from them, apart from a bad experience with one uk supplier, and a really positive one with spidersworld in poland. So here goes...
I received my package at work, i also bought some supplies so it came in 2 seperate boxes.
Both were packaged very well as always, lots of styrofoam lol.
I bought some cork bark tubes, a nano exo terra 20x20x30 and a block of substrate.
And moving on to my spiders. For those who dont know i ordered a sub adult a.geniculata, an adult female a.metallica, a 3-4cm lp and a 1cm a.braunshauseni. They were all packed nice and snug, so much so that the lp didnt want to come off the tissue when i unpacked it haha. Heres a couple of pics of the packing.
So now to introduce them to the world, drum roll please.....
First my little lp, kong.
Next is my a.braunshauseni (not named it yet)
Moving on to my a.geniculata, marv (named after everybodys favourite arachnophobic home alone villan lol)
And last but by no means least, my female a.metallica (not named her yet either)
Another very happy customer, very nice healthy looking Ts and a great service again from the spider shop. Without a doubt, a fantastic supplier and they really take pride in what they do. I cant recommend the spider shop enough.
Obviously due to the new additions ive had to make more room for them so ive had to put up another shelf lol. Heres a photo so far along with a list for anyone thats interested.
