well... damn USARK auctions.....
We had some cool stuff up for auction today at the repticon show but people were being cheap.... so when it came to a pretty nice Sling and people where going in ONE dollar increments I decided to throw in a bid to try and get things moving.... around the time someone said $7 I went ahead and said to put me in for $10.... well.... no one outbid me so I am now the somewhat proud owner of a P. striata.... also known as a Mysore ornamental....
and for those who have no idea what I am talking about.... it is a particularly potent tarantula. Not anything that can kill you but will give a hell of a bite lol
It's still a baby so it will be cool to see it grow but definitely not the best first Tarantula lol
I honestly thought someone would outbid me... >.> oh well.....
So yeah! First T.... alright....this should be fun.
Will post pics when I get em... This is obviously something my anti-living-thing mother will not know about but I am moving out in 1.5 months so she doesn't have to know!

Nice move! hahaha should've made that move on a reptile, man bugs give me the creeps.

I don't think I could ever own a tarantula, I'm permanently traumatized by watching 'Arachnophobia' as a kid.

I grew up on movies like that lol anaconda, lake placid, jaws.... all classics :)

and there weren't really any reptiles that interested me except the high dollar ones but I can't afford anymore high dollar animals right now lol

It's adorable! I am not sure I want to test the bite on myself though..... but I am sure that I have a friend somewhere stupid enough to do what i say when I tell em to close their eyes and hold their hands out lol
