Earlier I had a £60 mystery box of gimps arrive from TSS.
The T's were in a decent sized box with plenty of packing around them & a heat pad. Unfortunately the T's did not arrive until just before 1pm & thus the heat pad was cold.
The T's were.
Sub adult T stirmi
sub adult A seemanni
2cm P fasciata
1.5-2cm S calceatum
Female H diardi, jumping spider.
The stirmi looked very stressed & was tightly curled up when it arrived. I immediately put everything on a heat mat for a short while, but everything but the sirmi looked active & happy. And the stirmi soon started to show signs of life & is now in a new enclosure with a heat mat sellotaped to it's back temporally & is looking good.
The following is the seemanni, in a cricket tub, where I moved it to warm it up & let it stretch it's legs before moving it to it's permanant home. It was certainly lively & in good health, after a slight warm up.
The stirmi after it had warmed up.
No photo's of the others.
I forgot to say. Thank you @Gizalba for mentioning your gimp box, thus inspiring me to buy mine.
