Beautiful shirt.

Up yours Snarf...

I would not mention "ugly shirt" looking at your avatar Geo... did mommy dress you like that?

So how does a - pedipalp - in - ear feel, did he get a good "insert" ? Must have with that smile on your face. Did you have a cigarette after?

Lol @ scarab.
Think it was better for him than it was for me.

When I initially read this post by Cerat, I started joking around with the guys at the office about bringing some spiders to the office. they were the least bit impressed by this proposition saying things like " if you bring that thing near me I'll m@3r you boet!", or "dis reg ek Doom hom dan", " and " it will make a good long range shooting target".

Well today I decided to bring some despite the initial threats. Surprisingly, people were only reluctant at first. after the news spread, more and more people popped in to have a look. I brought a mature G.Rosea female, a juvie and a sling to show the guys the difference in appearance.

One guy showed so much interest, and kept asking questions and repeatedly said " jis dis cool", an older gentleman, that I decided to give all three of them to him as a good start-up in the hobby. Very chuffed he has placed it on his office desk now, sporting an ear to ear smile.

Ive sent him some care sheets and gave him some general info on their care.

I must say that's its personally extremely gratifying to see this person discover this new interest.

It seems that this inherent fear of spiders, snakes and whatnot is maybe due to the unknown, but i will make a point of it to get more people with genuine interest into this wonderful hobby.

I have thought of keeping a spider at work, but the night time temps might drop a bit low for certain species, plus I never know what the cleaning lady might use in the office.

I wanted to do that as well, but same issue..... :pinch:
