No problem Emily!... I still would like to see a pick of the T. apophysis spiderling if you have a chance...

[emilsmee]

i'll find you a pic that LOOKS like it, if not i'll see if goon wants to bring over her cam and take pics. it's legs are skinny, and the hair is long but thin, and it's toes are pink. definately doesn't look like an avic though. he also had what goon thought to be earth tigers. i was gonna get one but she advised me against it. i don't know for sure if the vagans is really a vagans, it said on the list it's a hybrid, but i don't remember what it's crossed with.

WOW, sounds like a great collection. I can't wait to see pictures of all your new arrivals!
(Still only owner by 3 T's, 2 Scorps, and 1 Viet Centipede)

ok thats what my sling looks like but a little smaller, maybe a molt or two behind.
thanks Jungle Jen! ...i also spent a little over $400 lastnight on those, plus i have another $200 worth coming from martin. i spend way too much on animals...

[emilsmee]

i think the Cyriopagopus thorelli was only like $55 and it was still pretty young, maybe 3-4".
is that a good price?

[emilsmee]

oh yeah and he's bringing me a Lasiodora Klugi next time he's down! *grin*

[Andrew vV]

Wow! Some very nice additions you have there!!
How much did you pay for the apophysis spiderling If you dont mind me asking and how big is it??
As for C. thorelli, its not in the pet trade yet!!! The species that was being sold as thorelli is actually C. schioedtei :-) Nice spider none the less.

Cheers!

i dunno if it was the real one or not, but it looked like this: http://library.thinkquest.org/27507/spider.jpg
the supplier said this was the only one he could get and the only one he's had ever.
umm i think i paid $95 or $125 for the apophysis. i can't remember. it's only about 1-2" right now.
AND it turns out the Brachypelma vagans hybrid was actually a Pamphobeteus platyomma (spelling?), but it's a good size, 2-3" and is worth more, lol. so i'm not gonna say anything, it only cost me $55. *grin*

[Andrew vV]

That looks like a match for C. schioedtei!!
Yeah....I'd keep your mouth shut about that Pamphobeteus sp. "platyomma" :-)

[emilsmee]

yeah i saw the difference in price on Tarcan's price list. i'm sure my supplier wouldn't make a big deal, he brought all of those t's just for me. he actually gave me the Brachypelma albopilosum for free because i spent $850 (and that's wholesale!) on t's, 4 snakes, and an olive keel scorpion for dragoon (which i won't mention the cost of, lol). i can't wait to see what he brings next time!
