Hello again! It’s been a long time, and if you are browsing my site for photos of beautiful tarantulas and hissing roaches, I am sad to say, you will be disappointed, Everything I had was linked to a website that I have since let lapse.
Since relocating the zoo to California, my priorities have shifted and unfortunately, my luck with electronics extended to my laptop. The Toshiba is now sitting idly by, awaiting the day it will come alive again. I have since sold most of the critters except for Serj, my beautiful 3 1/2″ A. Chalcodes. I had her sexed in February, and received the happiest news! It’s all skirts and barbies for her! 🙂
Then, I decided that while getting her sexed, I would try my luck with an LP (Salmon Pink Birdeater) sling. I bought Mitzy right then, and am awaiting the day when I will discover whether it’s bloomers or boxers for the little 3/4″ beauty. Both she and Serj were a 1/8″ handful in the beginning, but now they are both getting huge! I never thought that my little desert freebie would turn out to be a critter that will probably go to college with my son. Mitzy is designated to be for sale, but not until another molt or 6….
What’s that? You didn’t know I had a baby? Well….yes, and he is a beautiful, bouncing boy, born July 22nd, 2012.
Serj came before he did, and in between, I was devastated by the loss of both Sid and Nata within a few weeks of each other. They now reside in my freezer and are awaiting preservation. (Yes, I know, I know….a year and a half is a long time to live in a freezer…but please bare with me! I’ve been busy!) My baby is now learning about T’s through Serj and Mitzy, and will one day understand the beginnings of Buggy Zoo. He will also learn the story of how Sid and Nata started it all. They are definitely missed.
So, here’s to a new chapter of “The Zoo” with Mitzy, and a very pretty Serj leading the way. Perhaps the name of the blog will change to From the Desktop of Serj and Mitzy….Naaahhhh
I look forward to bringing you new photos, on a new laptop (thanks to my Oregon friend who understood my predicament). Until my old one is up, you can still view many photos on my facebook pages, since sadly, the Toshiba holds all of the originals. (A great lesson in BACKING UP FILES.)
Also, I look forward to sharing my son’s journey around the zoo with all of you. If I ever refer to “Moo”, you will know I am talking about him.
Thank you for reading 😀
Have a great day, week, month, and year.
From the Desktop of Sid and Nata
