Since when are N.coloratovillosus cheap? :? Adults cost more than redknees...


I would vote for

G.rosea-- $10-$30 as adult
P.murinus --$7 - $25 for adults
L.parahybana --s seen them for $5 per sling.
And many of the SW American & Mexican Aphonopelma ( A. anax etc. )

DCF Dark Colour Form, you will be very lucky if you see even a picture this tarantula, i will try get an image use approval off someone on another board, the tarantula is mostly black to dark grey over its entire body, but still retains the pattern on the carapace familiar to this species. i would assume this T is terestrial but i have never heard of this T being kept captively.

Just to check, isn't that P. junodi??

the dcf is considered a colourform, i have never heard of junodi

No, there is indeed a DCF P. murinus, http://baboonspiders.de/html_en/genera_pterinochilus.html#farbvarianten_murinus

P. junodi is synonymous with Augacephalus junodi now.

Slings are very inexpensive....I see them regularly for around $10.

My OBT (p murinus, RCF) is completely terrestrial, the cage gave her a choice. She went down (And I saw her today, for the first time in 6 months!), I have just assumed she was still alive since there was no stench

I have to agree on:

L. parahybana
G. seemani
B albipilosum
B vagans (one of my faves, at any price)
G auriostriata

I would avoid :
G rosea (borrrring!)
any Haplopelma (bitey holes)
P murinus (as above)

G. seemani

[bagheera]

HAHAHAHA.... No..
Stripey T's are like the most commonly mislabeled in petstores.
(I know u were joking, but petstores make it sound stupid.)

What i really want to know is where you say a P. cancerides for 5$ !!!! I haven't seen anything like this for less than 35 $. And wherever it is, do they ship to Canada ?
