[QUOTE="Meludox, post: 55631, member: 3779"] This may be a long rant, so buckle up. Two days ago I ordered a Greenbottle Blue from StampsTarantulas.com Yay! A 3" sexed female-- and I got overnight shipping. I was wary yesterday after expecting a shipping confirmation all day and never getting one. So I emailed Steven asking if he could confirm shipment to which he never responded. Okay. Well despite my doubts the spider did arrive today. I unpacked it from the bottle and was immediately put on edge. The spider was quite unresponsive to begin with and its abdomen seems shrunken, it's nearly smaller than the carapace. From what I've seen on the internet, not even the males have abdomens that small. But that brings me to my next point; I'm not certain if this spider is female. She is very leggy and while her abdomen IS small, I feel that it's just too small to be female even if it did shrink during shipment. I'm just kinda bummed and not thrilled with this purchase at all. I'm glad to have such a gorgeous species but just with all of the other issues I've been drained of my excitement. I'm still quite new to this hobby, and all of my judgements are probably incorrect haha. But I've supplied a photo just for opinions. [ATTACH=full]11999[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
