My only advice, if you plan to buy a P.muticus one day, is this: really go for a sexed 0.1, save yourself the pain of a 'Biblical' waiting for end with a 1.0

Unless you seek a breeding project/trade off etc they are nothing special.

Maybe get the pulchras first while they're still available. Sounds like there might be a dry spell in the availability of them soon.

Should I get. Lasiadora parahybana or E. murinus?
I have females of both, the E. murinus is mature about 5.5" and my LP is about 3". The murinus has a cool pattern but I'd prefer a full grown LP, bigger size and a nice coloration.

Some other awesome species to add to your (already very large) list are H. pulchripes and M. balfouri. Enjoy the T. stirmi btw they're savages.

You are missing B. emilia, IMO. Really striking pattern on them, and the care is as easy as any other Brachy.

I might also suggest N. tripepii. Cute little teddy bears...with fangs...and some attitude.

E.murinus, but don't buy a sling, directly search for a 0.1

1.0 aren't that 'skeleton' at all, good/worth only for breeding, nothing else :)
Can you explain what the numbers mean? I've seen them around but don't understand. Also, recommendations on best sites to buy from?

How many Ts do you already own, and for how long have you had them?... Getting 10+ Ts all at once isn't a great idea if you're not experience. And any species you do buy you must put in time to research beforehand to know how to setup their enclosure and other things important to their care.

Good plan. I'm also going to second a few on your list that I own and love; 1) L. parahybana, 2) C. versicolor, 3) B. vagans. My male B. vagans sling was taking down mealworms twice its size when it was about 1.5"... A sight to behold.

Opinions on Blue Foot Baboons?
I have an I. mira sling that's ~ 1.25", has a little trapdoor that it uses to ambush prey, fantastic feeding response, good disposition at least for the time being. Very cool and unique tarantula.

I'm Italian, European... therefore, technically, not even able to provide to you the better info about U.S sellers, but check here the 'Classifieds' etc :)
