But letā€™s face it the black classic series look has had a great run for almost 20 years, I personally like it but I suspect the ā€œnewerā€ generation of customer look on it as very old fashioned and doesnā€™t fit in with contemporary residential design living. But I donā€™t care.

Never a fan of the olives although did own it

I was thinking more that Glenda might get eaten!

One hung low. :grin:

if that ia a Ctenomorpha gargantua, then they are incredibly rare. Might be worth contacting Maik Fiedel, coordinator of live exhibits at the Museum Victoriaā€™s Melbourne Museum.

You might be right she does have the fork in her tail. I havenā€™t checked this morning to see if sheā€™s still there. If she is I might ring the nature park to confirm, but I donā€™t want her captured though.
