I guess it depends on the company you're buying from but ... mine are usually shipped Monday and if i don't get them Friday I'm getting them Monday. So far I've got only one loss - a small Histerocrates gigas! That's 1 tiny sling out of two packages out of 20 tarantulas, not to mention that one molted in the shipping container and one fell off the container and molted 2 hours later!!! So it's all going to be fine! I know exactly how you feel but ... don't worry! We're waiting on the new unboxing video Monday morning with all the awesome tarantulas :)

I was expecting a grammostola pulchra once, but the parcel was lost in transit for a while and finally showed up after 14 days. I was almost sure that the poor thing wouldn't be alive. But after I opened the parcel, I met the fastest and more skittish pulchra that I have ever seen hahaha. So always trust a hope🤞

Awwww, sorry for the loss of your special little friend. 😪 I love rats, they are amazing pets! I used to keep a few as sweet pets. If only they lived as long as a dog or cat. I always enjoy your videos , you have a great calming voice to listen to. Beautiful zoo, my favorite animal was the little Meerkat. They are so similar in their living habitat to our US prairie dogs which are not dogs at all. If Meerkats were good pets to keep I'd have a few. 😁

Well as a 52 year old guy i always saw spiders as disgusting, but thus changed recently after watching videos about tarantulas. They are amazing and it's fascinating to see that each hsve its own personality even when they are from the same species. Meanwhile i want my own tarantula and i was torn between the grammostola pulchra, the brazilian black that looks like black velvet. Pulchra by the way stands for pretty / beauty and she is a real beauty. The othe is the brachypelma hamorri, the mexican red knee. Since i torn between both and cant decide what one to get, i will get both. Both are new world and ususlly very calm. I havent seen one kicking hair or giving a thread posture. Many tarantula keeper and pet stores consider them as great starter tarantulas and if you get a juvenile female you can have her for 20 years and more. Yes tell the apear intimidating the way they move but once you gave them a chance you notice how fascinating and beautiful these creatures are. As a guy who totally rethought my opinnion about spiders and even was scared by them, i can just encourage you as a parent. Watch some videos and learn how amazing, beautiful and in nature how usefull those 8 legged creatures are. And if you are scared about the imposing sight of a huge spider, check out jumping spiders. They are absolutely adorable and cute. Maybe they help you accept a tarsntula as well.

@tarantuhalla I'm still waiting for the terrariums yo be devilvered so I don't have them jet :( and the Brazilian black is not available at the moment, at least not as juvenile and raising a spiderling could be very challenging for a beginner. All I've talked so far recommended to start with a juvenile cause they are more robust. When I get my 8 legged friend I want to make sure I can give it the best possible care and a good home and life. I hope the terrarium is soon be delivered so I can order the brachypelma hamorri that is available in my region. Before I get more I have to learn a lot and get some experience. There are quite a lot of interesting ones like the cobalt blue or the theraphosa blondi / stirmi, the blue baboon and orange baboon, thd orange bitey thingy. But befor I thinking about to get one of those I want to get some experience with the docile, calm ones. As I said, I want the best for the animal and want it to have a good life. The main reason I shared my story was to show people that even someone who was afraid of spiders and found them disgusting can change his mind and notice how fascinating spiders can be when you give them a chance. Hope I will get my hamorii till the end of the month.

She's a good girl but one time I tried to move her away from a certain spot on the glass with a small paint brush. She spun around so fast to face it . Either she was semi a sleep and I startled her or she thought dinner was ready. She is a big time eater. I have cut back on feeding her since her butt is to big for a pink toe.
