Having lost my OBT, Ziga, I thought long and hard about getting another having reduced my collection of Ts dramatically because of health issues. I started in the hobby with an OBT and so wanted to have one in my little group of 3 Ts so I took the plunge and Shani arrived today from SoManyLegs.

Not only was she well packed but the Royal Mail surpassed themselves. Normally our delivery is between 12 and 2 pm but postie realised it was a live creature and rearranged his whole route to deliver her at 10am so she wasn't stuck in a hot van longer than necessary.

Sadly this little lady died 3 days later. I'm guessing the heat during shipping was just too much for her.
All credit to SoManyLegs they have replaced her and today the new Shani has arrived. This one needed no encouragement to venture out of her travel container and begin to make her new tank her own.
