Complete Tarantula Zoo For Sale

[AJ]

Hello all

My name is Adrian and I have been on this site for a couple years now.
A keen collector and fighter for the cause.
Its with great regret that I have decided to sell my collection as my current situation, growing family, work commitments are really causing strain.

A couple things to get straight first:
1) If you're serious about making an offer then please PM me only, do not reply to this thread
2) Buyer to pick up all goods from western suburbs of Sydney, will not post
3) Will not separate
4) COD only
5) All T's are purchased from Brendan, Steve, or Greg and I cannot guarantee the classification as I am no expert but those guys can vouch for me; sizes approx diagonal.


The collection (apologies for spelling):

Tarantulas:
1 x Fem SP3 15cm
1 x Fem Papuanus 12cm
1 x Fem Nebo 12cm
1 x Fem 'Near Nebo' 9cm

Enough Supplies to house Taronga:
30 x Full glass hand made tanks 6-8mm glass (made by me) 400mm high x 200mm wide x 300mm deep purpose built for T's
Approx 10 x large glass jars
Approx 30 x containers
25-30 Exo Terra and unbranded water bowls
A 40L bin worth of drift wood and fake drift wood
A 40L bin worth of fake plants, you name I have it
A 40L bin worth of sand stone
1 x 20Kg Bag sand
1 x 20Kg Bag white sand
1 x 20kg bag river pebbles
Approx 50L Peat Moss and moss
Approx 20 off 2m cable with 3 prong end and Edison screw light to other end
Approx 20 off 4w heat mats
3 off wireless hygrometers
There is more I just cant think of it at the moment.

A full joinery unit approx 2m high x approx 4m wide with cupboards, workbench then double height shelves etc to house everything

As you can see I dont do things in halves and have spent years and years collecting plus thousands and thousands of hours on my girls but honestly my current situation has lead me to this point and my other girls need more of me. I am guessing I have spent at least $5000 on all this possibly over $6000-7000. I am not expecting anywhere near this amount however offers only over $1000 will be considered.

I wont be leaving the site! Just need to simplify my life for now until I get back on my feet.

Thanks for your time
AJ

That setup sounds amazing, got any pix?

I know a few people in canberra that could be interested. I am myself but i know i couldn't look after all of that at this stage lol

[inked]

sorry to hear AJ, but yes, life must come before tarantulas! 
if only i was in a position myself to grab that lot! that would be a sweet addition!   

[illk]

Are you gonna keep 1 or 2?

[LOZA]

Hi there every one just wondering if this tarantula collection  is still for sale and if its posible is there sombudy out there that might know Adrian personally and give him a call to let him know I am very interested in the whole collection  (I tryed private messaging  but im not sure if hes checked his email ) and I was sort of hoping to get in touch with him  before i go away for a few days 
Cheers Martin

[AJ]

Hey guys thanks for the replies!
Sorry been busy and away
Martin I just replied to your message mate.
I do plan on keeping one of mine that Brendan has but I think that's it
I'll try and take some pics when I pack them all up ready for shipping as they're all cosy and burrowed in
Cheers
AJ

[schoondy]

Hey there Adrian not sure whats going on but i havent recieved any emails from you  to this date  just wondering if there still up for sale or are they sold now ? cheers Martin

[AJ]

OK I dont want to sound like an attention seeking post menopausal megalomaniac but I have packed them all away and chickened out.
After packing them away they all decided to start moulting, namely my Big Bertha P.Sarina moulted to just under 200mm and my SP3 moulted into something not dissimilar to the pic Steve Nunn has.
This wasnt a money issue just a time and space issue (as I am a new father with a second one on the way and I am still in between homes) so I am sorry for the fuss and I hope this hasnt put anybody out.
I will still have some surplus supplies up for sale like heat mats, light fittings, plants etc so I'll post them up separately.
Once again sorry for the fuss guys
Cheers
AJ

OK Guys good and bad news here... Long time no post its been a rough ride lately with work and play
The good news is my wife had another girl so that's 2 from 2 for me!
The bad news is that the T's really have to go now because of the lack of room they are actually staying at an uncles place atm.
I dont want to neglect them so they will definitely go now to the highest bidder.
That is the ENTIRE list below including all supplies as stated (less the sand which I chucked)
Please note most of the stuff is unused and new so its all in really good nick.
Add to the list below the T's I was going to keep which are an F and a M Goliath at around 90mm each
Sorry no pics Im on someone elses PC atm as Im moving but the winning bidder wont be dissapointed when the see what I have created.
Serious enquiries only please, personal msg me and I'll check this account on a mates PC nightly.
They are going cheap and have to go quickly so the FIRST bid over my reserve gets it, no bargaining, no to'ing and fro'ing the first bid over the reserve is it.
No time wasters please as I am moving with 2 kids under 2 and a sore wife.
Thanks again and sorry for the bother
AJ

Hi guys people are having trouble finding this link so here it is.
For those of you that have enquired about separating, sorry I wont separate
Cheers
AJ

i tried emailing ya the other day using your yahoo but my email was returned =\
i was wondering how old big bertha is? 10yrs?

[AJ]

Also add to that list (I missed these before and picked them up on todays feed)

2 x TRUE Stirlingi Slings from Outback Tarantulas
2 x Black or Banded Phlogius Slings from Steve Nunn (not sure)
1 x 12cm adult female Stirlingi Kotzmans (gorgeous specimen from Kotzman SA border)
1 x 16cm adult female Phlogius Hirsuitus (rare - from Steve Nunn)
1 x 18cm adult Phlogius Crassipes (big fat girl from Steve Nunn)
1 x 16cm adult female Phlogius Strennus (from Steve)
All the other ones a little bigger now so add 1-2cm on all.
The Sarina is nudging 20cm (my profile picture) and eats like a goliath. The Crassipes and the Sarina are true female adults, they are massive in weight/size/thickness and dwarf the others which are more leggy and yet to 'fill out'.

Going cheap guys, the lucky owner won't be disspointed.

Sh*t no wonder why it takes me 2 hours to feed them all

[Bathrezz]

Sorry for bumping an old thread, i myself get really annoyed when people do this

I was wondering how this all turned out? Did you eventually sell or still got them all?
