Well folks, I have been a very bad blogger. So far, no pictures, and no LS report for the newly molted. Things have been pretty crazy around the desktop, but rest assured, the goodies are coming.
MOLT UPDATE:
Annabel Lee Molted last Sunday, and is getting bigger by the minute! According to my note card records, she was a stunning 1/2″ after her last molt, which leads me to believe that she is around 3/4″ now!
Raven, Alee’s litter mate, should also be molting soon. According to the same records, she molted 6 days after Alee last time. I am curious to see if they will remain on schedule.
Additions Update:
Through the magick of Facebook, I have had the opportunity to meet and greet some of you, and many other enthusiasts from around the globe. One of whom has just successfully bred a Poecilotheria Subfuscia!! (Well…more like bred, egg sat, hatched, egged with legged, and over-saw molts into 2nd instar…) He has offered to send me one of these adorable little critters, and even managed to wrangle me an Ephebopus cyanathogos! (Blue Fang!!!!!!!) I am flattered by the gesture, and thank *you* for the idea!!
I hope to one day be in a position that allows me to also send out 8-legged packages to random people across the US.
Speaking of positions, an opportunity to move locations has come our way, and I must say that I am excited to jump on it! Currently, the desktop and I reside (with my husband) in a small apartment in Grants Pass, Oregon that is no longer meeting our needs.
Within the next month or 2 I expect us all to be starting fresh with a new apartment, and new jobs in our closest big city. This will not only grant me the opportunity to possibly meet other hobbyists, but it will also allow me more freedom to begin breeding projects as room and time expand!
One of the many perks of moving will also place me by SOU, where I hope to study biology, and pass (knowledge) along to 5th and 6th graders as a teacher. It took a high school teacher to inspire my love of reptiles and crawley things, and I want to bring the same joys to a kid like me…
(Thank you Ms. Bodily, you are one of my select heros.)
In addition to this, I am getting out of the retail game while I prepare to go back to school, so hours will once again change, but opportunities will grow for all of us on and around the desktop of Sid and Nata.
Let’s all not forget the upcoming NaNoWriMo event that starts in exactly 32 days! I will be taking on the task of 50,000 words by the end of November that may actually look loosely like a story that some may call a novel….. I am in research mode for this, and have a few ideas that may prove fruitful with a bit of TLC and lots of coffee! If you are in the mood to race with thousands of people from around the world,come join in at NaNoWriMo.org!! Look for me under the user name “Sidnata” and we can be writing buddies 🙂
Keep baring with me, and as soon as I get it together, the website and FB pages will be published for the world to see! Wish us luck!!
