That's definitely a "full retail" price.

I had a male until February 14. (I shipped him to a breeder after he matured.)
That was very responsible of you. I think that breeders should be mature and ready to raise spiders, so good on you for waiting!

More on topic, I've only kept one dwarf tarantula, A Pumkin Patch large, and while there is no denying that it was a really attractive spider, dwarf specie just don't fit my definition of "tarantula". It hooked out the first moult after I got it, so I really didn't have much time to get attached to it.
Anyway, in my bathroom a couple days ago, I spotted a Dolomedes that at 3.0 DLS, easily matched my male Pumkin Patch in size. I could have caught it and sprinkled some glitter on it and -Bam! - Dolomedes Fairy-dust!

Here is a picture of it. It isn't a very sharp photo, but photoshop adepts may feel free to glam the spider up if they wish. :D

Since no one is mentioning them.. K. brunnipes. I really do like the little bugger. The light legs, dark body, and gold heart on its bum look great and it's calm temperament really makes it a great species for me. The slow growth rate sucks though (maybe it'll moult faster now that it's a good 25C in my apartment).

If you want a psychotic little piece of poop in your collection H. sanguiniceps is your answer! Maybe it's just mine, but oh my lordy I get the threat pose and bolting just undoing the clasps on its enclosure. And the little bugger has escaped.. 4 times now? Just from trying to feed it. Last time it escaped (a few nights ago) I was thankful to see that it had grown to 1.5" lol. :banghead:

I feel weird about loving dwarf tarantulas so much, tininess seems like the antithesis of the appeal of Ts. It's like "hey, this is the world's smallest, biggest spider!"

They're hard to find, but I'm fond of dwarf Aphonopelmas. They're not as striking as the prior suggestions, but they make up for it in adorable tininess. Too bad they don't live as long as the full size ones. The estimated lifespan for females is about 10 years. My Aphonopelma mareki looks like she's on her last legs :(
