GBB.

I know some people don’t like the clutter of heavy webbing, but I do. I’ve got a sling, and of all my Ts it’s the only species I feel 100% confident that will always have a place in my collection.

I misread your post. A. genic is on my short list. Also P. cambridgei. Neither are super hard to find I guess, I just haven’t moved on them yet.

Soon...

Kinda with you on the Phormingochilus never had any of the genus before, rufus are nice and have gotten considerably cheaper in the last year :)

I've got about 22 Ts right now, I think, and they're pretty well varied. I think I'm pretty much sated for the time being. When I look at the vendor lists these days I rarely see anything that grabs me.

The only ones I think about buying with any frequency now are the X. immanis and the G pulchra, and I vaguely consider buying more dwarf species. But I think for a while I'm going to hold off for better deals or finding cool stuff at shows.

I have been getting pretty excited about other inverts though. Whipspiders and mantises and assassin bugs oh my. :p

Absolutely. I will be so pissed if they jump in price in the next few months. I want at least one in my spring order.

Have to look into whether the genus is male heavy like lampropelma or not. If so, will likely be holding off another year or so.

What sort of price sp. Rufus going for in your neck of the woods?

I completely agree, no way im paying these crazy prices, but the only pampho i think is nice at all is the solaris, so all i gotta do i wait it out and i won't have to pick between a sling or an organ.
