Dan, you have my husband beat. I don't think that he ever got 25 in one month. Although if I let he would. It is an addicting hobby that's for sure.
That's great that it was still warm. We get some shipments at work during the winter but we rarely get reptiles if we have a long stretch of cold weather. I remember last year we received a shipment of RES and 3 out of 6 froze to death. Sometimes when we get crickets the heat packs are cold as well. I guess that is why I'm leery of shipping right now, but I guess it would be no different then shipping in blazing hot weather as well.
We are lucky we have a swap twice a month. When I went to the NARBC in Tinley Park, IL, I was disappointed. It was a great show but I see more of a variety at the swap that is twice monthly then at the NARBC. At the swap they have more tarantula dealers/breeders.
Good luck and keep the pictures coming.
