Message: <blockquote data-quote="hopeful_tarantula" data-source="post: 41379" data-attributes="member: 2537">OK - first of all, many apologies as I picked up my tarantula on Tuesday, but within half an hour of getting it, I ended up in hospital with stomach cramps.As I said, I did pick it up, but the choice was completely off from the voting scale as I fell in love with a semi-adult  Eauthlus parvulus (Chile Gold Burst) instead. It was sitting finishing off the remains of a cricket, but when it had done, it put its 2 front legs on the glass and was pretty much saying "Buy me or else" lol. It's been named "Truffle" by my SJA Cadets (bunch of 10-17 year olds) and we had a competition of what the best name for it would be and "Truffle" won lol.I am still interested in buying something off my list, because a) I already need to move it to a bigger tank and b)not until after the 10th March as I have just put a deposit down for a new mattress (my back and side has been begging me for a new one), but I definitely will be getting one off my list after the 10th March.I am definitely going to post some photos of it on Sunday as I have some free time then and will have time to dig my camera out lolJulia xx</blockquote>
