Last week was the ATS Conference, this week (and next) is work back East.
The conference was a blast. Found tons of cool invertebrates, only kept one: a Diplocentrus scorpion. She is SO CUTE, like a miniature emperor. I also won a Salmon Pink Birdeater sling in a raffle, and purchased a Trinidad Chevron and ... drum roll ... my FIRST POKIE!
Yes, I bought a regalis and she is gorgeous. I had quite a time getting her into her new cage, it was very amusing. My wife made me do it outside while she watched behind the sliding glass doors. Everytime the pokie (haven't named her yet) zipped in, then out of her cage my wife jumped and screamed. It was very amusing. I was laughing too. I would like to note that despite her zipping about (I understand the reference to teleporting now) she never once acted aggressively.
The Trinidad Chevron (a beautiful, olive green arboreal Tarantula) acted a bit defensively at the conference but once she was out of her container she was nice enough. She was not defensive at all moving her into her new cage. She dutifully marched out of the old into the new.
I will take some pictures for my gallery next week or the week after. But I am still excited about owning a pokie. It was a big step for me.
