Exclamation It's Time - - The Raffle Tease Thread

Here it is gang, the ATS Conference Raffle Thread. Here's where you can get a glimpse of some of the beautiful tarantulas that are being donated for the raffle. Thanks to the past generosity of ATS members we've had great prizes. We're counting on that generosity to continue this year to insure we have another fantastic group of tarantulas, scorpions and who knows what other inverts along with all kinds of invert related gear. If you can't make it talk a friend into picking up some tickets for you because you do not need to be present to win. You just need a friend you can trust!

I thought we might as well start things off with a bang this year so here's one of the spiders that can be won. Actually you can't win this one, this one here is just a model. What you can win is one of it's younger cousins who is just too shy to allow a photo to be taken.



The actual spider is smaller and unsexed.

We are also taking donations for the raffle. If you've got something you would like to donate please contact me via PM or email @ ppenmg6@cox.net Thanks.

Well, Uncle Patrick started off with a firework of a surprise...
I'll go right along: this one will be on the raffle table as well:



Now that looks like an adult female Cyriocosmus elegans peaking out from under there. Thank you very much!!

Ok, Now I see it. You two fooled me - she looks bigger in the picture and you hid the heart.

Smile Re: It's Time - - The Raffle Tease Thread

Here's a few more pictures of actual tarantulas that are available in this year's raffle. First off we have an Aphonopelma sp., "Carlsbad Green".


Very mellow lady.

Next up for your viewing and wishing pleasure is the Aphonopelma sp., "Flagstaff Orange".



How beautiful is this little lady?

And last but definitely not least is a donation by the one and only Ollie!



This female Pamphobeteus nigricolor will be going home with someone the night of the raffle.

Are you starting to feel a little teased yet? Good.

Tickets are only $1.00 each. Unfortunately I can't be trusted.

Shame on you.
I don't even know if I'd be allowed to have any more. Unless I tricked my mom somehow. But they're so tempting. I want that C. elegans.
