They have all arrived safe and well and I can't fault TSS for their brilliant packaging, a box within a box both filled with polystyrene beads, a heat pad in the inner box with the Ts still warm.

First is Maya, a C. pentalore or Mexican Tiger Rump at ½''.




Next is my first Avic, Nacre, an A. sp Aurora at around 1''. I can't wait to see the colours develop on this one




And now my big surprise, a replacement for Tili, the P. sp Tiger that died only 12 days after its arrival. I had notified TSS of Tili’s death in case they'd had problems with any others but I didn’t ask for or expect a replacement. Just got to find a name for it.

Aww, how nice of TSS! I'm not very good at name finding (although I think naming my G. Rosea "Lotta" the other day, as in "A whole LOTTA Rosie" was a great idea and my husband just lacks a sense of humour, lol), but maybe something Tiger related? Shere Khan, the tiger from Jungle Book?

I've settled on Arica, an area in the north of Chile. My son called his rosie Mouse.

Thanks. I was amazed when the replacement appeared. I'd had a refund from the seller of the other that died but that was only here 5 hours but I didn't expect this as the P. sp Tiger had been here almost 2 weeks and we'd had no communication about it, I'd not even sent him any photos.
