Hey!! thought the little leggy fella was gon'a be N*1000,

He is going to have to be 1001! ha! i'll be taking some more pics tonight so I will probably upload them tomorow night

Hows it going guys?

HI Billsy, do you know of any articles on RCF rosea tibia'l hooks? apart from the piece on here i cant find any that talk about twin hooks

I don't know of any articles off the top of my head but i'll do a search around for you mate, should be something somewhere on it. It was Dan that told me about it so he might know of one if I can't find any fella

cheers mate.. seen the bit on here where Pete says about it ,but nothing else! done a search & got nothing!!!

There should be something knocking about somewhere, you tried the bts?

OOOP's no will get on that now

I don't use their site much but I think they have got an archive? You could have a dig through them and see what comes up

just did a search & came up empty?.. so started a thread asking for any info.. see what comes up!

hmm I would of thought they would of had something? I'll have a search for you and let you know if I find anything mate

Still cant find anything!! but there's a picture on page 94 of TKG,with a nice shot of one & he only has one pair! the plot thickens?

I had a look at the pic in tkg and I can only see one set aswel, I'm wondering whether the second set is on a different section? Maybe closer to the carapace?

I still can't find anything Martin, maybe sending Dan a pm might help as he was the one who told me about it

Maybe, but would of thought he would have said something about it as he is talking about tibial hooks?

yeah could do

first answer was about the TKG

I think it's because TKG is more of a general guide so they cover alot of the basics and don't get into too much detail about specific spiders as the book would be 1,000,000 pages long! ha!

Yeah very true... got'a admit it's doing me nut in a bit

Hey all.. every body ok..?

Yes thanks Martin. Been busy working - walking round our local country park with a couple of disabled young ladies. Exhausting but fun - probably looked mad - adults playing hide & seek!

I'm guessing you're a carer then lydia? I'm all good Martin, had to replace my "spider book" today so just sorting the sections out and writing out some overlapping info from old to new

I'm a team leader and arts and craft tutor for a charity in Slough, Berks. I love it. Have worked with troubled teens and special needs for a long time. Def keeps me grounded! How long have you been keeping spiders?

Aww thats cool, my mum works in a mother and baby respite which I know isn't the same but she works with troubled teens and she says its the most rewarding job you can get I had my first T for my 14th birthday 12 years ago but I would say i've taken it up on a more serious level over the last 5 or so years

Mother and baby respite can't be easy but like a lot of difficult jobs, they bring their own reward. Does anyone else want to say how long they've been into this hobby?
