Glad I got Giger when I did…

So when I was considering getting an A. Gigas, I had a hard time finding one.  The only person that had them was Ken the Bug Guy, and he only shipped on certain days a week.  I went through a website called Tarantulas.inc to get Promethea, and asked if they’d have any A. Gigas in anytime soon.  They had great service and I was pleased with the product so I would like to order from them again.  Plus they have Vietnamese Rainbow Millipedes (Warning: dirty picture, but it shows off the coloring nicely) which is definitely a species I would like to get in the future so I was hoping to get both an A. Gigas and one of those at the same time.

A WEEK after I got Giger they updated their inventory with new CB A. Gigas!  These are listed as 2″ so they are about twice as big as Giger… but also $45.  Ouch.  I got Giger for $20.

I’ve also recieved a number of questions about how live bugs are actually shipped.  I took a series of photos of Euler and Giger’s packaging and I’ll make a little write up soon.  I was curious too before I opened Promethea’s box.

As for now, its time to get rest.  There’s more insanity over the horizon.
