Hopefully B. albiceps?
I'm really considering this. I have about 20 Ts right now, but 95% of them are slings.
I don't mind if they end up being OW, I do have a couple already. I didn't really think it looked like any sort of Brachypelma, but with the description I had a little hope. My yearning for a B. albiceps made me want it to be one. The price is certainly tempting....even if they're a bit of a mystery as far as species.I could easily be wrong, but I REALLY don't think that bottom one looks like any type of Brachypelma.
The top pic is extremely blurry, so I couldn't even begin to guess if you're right on the species.
They don't sound like terrible prices, but it's hard to know for sure without knowing exactly what they are. It's your call (I would consider it myself even), but be sure you're ready for potentially more than one OW species and be sure to post better pictures on here so people can properly ID them for you.
Alot of people pick things up off of Craigslist. It's no reason to give the OP a dislike.Google: Craigs List Killer

Are you sure? None of these pics are very good, but I don´t think it looks like a P. muticus sling at all. He also states that it´s a "fast grower" which definitely would not be the case with a P. muticus sling.the third one looks like a P.muticus sling..
Nope not sure at all.. If the seller didn't know latin names I threw all "credible" growth info he had out the window.. Lol.. It's a little goldish sling could be P.muticus.. Maybe..

Well if you have experience with OWs, I don't see why not. They're probably better off in your care than some random other person who picks them up thinking they're exactly what the seller says they are. The fact that the seller says the one is in the same family as the Mexican red knee makes me think he doesn't know what he's talking about. Lol.I don't mind if they end up being OW, I do have a couple already. I didn't really think it looked like any sort of Brachypelma, but with the description I had a little hope.

Cheapest N. incei I've seen offered lately is $18.99 for just under 2cm, and $19.99 for the gold form at about the same size, a little less.Are these really good prices in America?? I obviously have absolutely no clue about that, but I bought 5 (five) N. incei slings for 20 Euro altogether sometime this year...
If those prices are ok for you then why not? The straight horned baboon seems about right, I think the golden one looks like N. incei gold and I can't even see a spider in pic one - oh yeah, right, clinging to the glass? It's not impossible that it's a N. incei olive
Prices over here are more than three times as much as in Germany and that's for what is common.Are these really good prices in America?? I obviously have absolutely no clue about that, but I bought 5 (five) N. incei slings for 20 Euro altogether sometime this year...

Actually, slings of darlingi are more readily found than others, at least that's what I've seen. Not saying you can't find marshalli or sanderi, or what have you-- but C. darlingi is the most common.Do what you want, but personally being you I wouldn't buy, at all, a genus Ceratogyrus (hint, this one I slightly doubt is a C.sanderi, at least a bit less common specie) of 1 inch size for $20.
Love the genus, love C.marshalli and C.darlingi, but from what I've heard about they are quite available and cheap in the U.S as well, maybe sexed.
I´m so happy that I am not living in America. Not only because of Ts of course, but that´s an added bonus. C. marshalli is really common here and slings go for 3 EUR which is around 3.50 USD.So if it's actually Ceratogyrus, it's not a bad price. About average. If it's marshalli, it's one of the more uncommon Ceratogyrus currently available.
In general C.darlingi and C.marshalli are very easy to find, almost always available (at least here). C.sanderi as well, but that specie is a bit less common than those two. Well, three, counting C.meridionalis.Actually, slings of darlingi are more readily found than others, at least that's what I've seen. Not saying you can't find marshalli or sanderi, or what have you-- but C. darlingi is the most common.
In less than five minutes I've found:
- 1"-1.5" C. darlingi for $30
- 1" C. darlingi for $20
- 0.75" C. meridonaldis for $34.99
- 1" C. darlingi for $20
- 1"-1.25" C. meridonaldis for $20
So if it's actually Ceratogyrus, it's not a bad price. About average. If it's marshalli, it's one of the more uncommon Ceratogyrus currently available.
