Please.. if someone can help.

People like that do deserve to be named so they can't con any other UK members.

I can confirm he has blocked my number.
I withheld my number so it appears as ‘private’ and it does indeed ring on...

I will wait until tomorrow until I contact PayPal and if nothing from him I will sure name and shame. Don’t want anyone else having the displeasure of dealing with an inexcusable scenario.

 

[T-Baby]

We have a reply guys. Apparently I am the con here.
Let me copy and paste. I’m extremely annoyed.

‘I am happy to refund the doa but i am 100% that the others were in perfect condition and if there are nematodes present then that spider is not from me. I send spiders daily and never have any problems. You have been pushy from the very beginning and genuinely believe that this is a con trick which will not work. I have been in the hobby for 30 years and have never scammed anybody’

I do notice something white on her mouth, I don’t think that’s normal but I could be wrong... I’ve drew a crude little circle and arrow if you zoom in

Yea, I’m More concerned with that white creamy stuff in between the fangs, that’s not a good thing. I see where you pointed that out. I have heard of people increasing temperature to kill the nemies. But, could also kill the T. Not good man. I’m sorry. keep it separated from your others and don’t use the same tools.

At least that's a result of sort.
How are the others today?

 

[T-Baby]

The others seem to be doing fine, she’s still no better.

Good. I agree with @Shampain try the dry approach.

 

[T-Baby]

Yeah? Dry as in kitchen towel and a small water dish presumably??

The substrate in her container looks pretty dry so she'd be fine in there

 

[T-Baby]

Ok I’ll give that a try for a few days.
Will keep you all updated, thank you.

 

[RonC]

Send him the remains of the DOA if he wishes. PayPal will want to contact him so their decision isn't instant.

 

[T-Baby]

14 days?? Holy!!!
Im willing to try because I don’t want her dying obviously. She’s currently in a warmer place, it’s nice and dark too.
I doubt she’ll eat.

I had already given him pictures of the DOA and he still claims to be happy with giving me a refund for that but I’m yet to receive it.. for me it’s not about the money, it’s that he hasn’t acknowledged anything even if it was a mistake, he’s gone about this entirely wrong and made out that I’m trying to con him.

I’ve a fair few people I can vouch on that knows I am not like that at all

 

[T-Baby]

That is also very true but while I might be able to clear the nematodes, it’s the damage they cause internally.
Once again this guy has not replied and has my number still blocked, it’s very frustrating that he isn’t willing to sort this out.

I would try buying from one of our sellers here that does Europe. You might have to go to court to get the refund. I would mention that as an option to the seller.

Frankly however, you might just have to accept that you were ripped off and move on. This conduct in no way represents our hobby or our community.

Good hardy tarantulas for beginners include Lasiodora species, any brachys, or Acanthoscurria species in my humble opinion.

Of course, there are many dozens of other possibilities as well.

I'd buy from these guys in the future. @Phil and @KezyGLA both sell Ts over on that side of the pond. I wish I could buy from them....

Thanks for the recommendation bud. @T-Baby is already a friend I care a lot about and I know she is absolutely gutted by what has happened. It is so unfair that someone who cares so much about her spiders has had to deal with this, and of course, the poor spider must be suffering too.

 

[KezyGLA]

I can’t see any nematodes.

The white spot is the opening to the esophagus.

Her behaviour seems strange. I would wait it out for a moult and see if it survives before opening case on PayPal.

 

[T-Baby]

Thank you for the recommendations @Arachnoclown I do already buy from @Phil and he’s a very good friend of mine!

Thank you @KezyGLA I was trying to convince myself I could see nematodes but she still isn’t well.

Here are some pictures I took of her yesterday, there seems to be that one leg that just sticks up in the air and the back legs are now curled under her body.

hang in there little one. x

 

[KezyGLA]

My guess would be an injury or internal issue of sorts. All you can do is wait it out and hope she mpupts out ok.

In the meantime I would switch out the water dish for something a bit bigger.

Best of luck.
