Your 2019 Tarantula Wishlist?

[Rigor Mortis]

I am hoping actual get my first tarantula(s) in 2019. Looking to start with A. hentzi, and possibly some of the other NW terrestrials.

As an Oklahoman and a lover of the Aphonopelma genus I wholeheartedly support this!

That is part of the reason I elected to go that route. I grew up in eastern New Mexico and west Texas, so I've been around them all my life. Had one walk up on us one time that stopped near the toe of my boot and sat there tapping one of his front feet on it for about five minutes before he turned around and walked off again.

Sounds like a perfect reason to get one! A coworker of mine had one crawl up the broomstick she was holding. Wild Ts are fun little things. I'll definitely have to pick up a hentzi one of these days, they are also on my wish list but some others take precedence.

A while ago, I posted a thread asking for suggestions, so I've got that bookmarked and am going to pick up a few of the suggestions that people were kind enough to make.

From that thread, I like the look and sound of Idiothele mira, Ceratogyrus marshalli, or Neoholothele incei.

I want a female C.cyanepubescens. I have two MMs.

Either a N.chromatus or an A.geniculata. People seem to rate them pretty highly.

I was planning to get a H maculata next month, but I think I'd like another species of Poecilotheria, first.

 

[RezonantVoid]

Can I just say everyone has some amazing things lined up

 

[Galaxyblues]

I’m shooting for a Lasiodora parahybaba and a p. Metallica

 

[Danny5ohh]

I would love to get my hands on an H. Maculata and some Pokies. But so hard to find any around my neck of the woods.

 

[Tashmonster]

Chilobrachys has to be my favourite overseas genus so I definitely encourage you to get more!

So is mine! I’m looking forward to get more available chilos in my place. They are unpredictable; quite flighty and bitey but beautiful.

I, too, am both of these things, so I agree. That said, don't get a sling. Seriously, they don't know what "growth" is.

As for what I want to get, I'd first need my financial situation to stabilize, and for some looming personal issues to resolve. Then, it would just need to meet the following criteria:
1) Is it a New World?
2) Is it not arboreal (don't know why, but I have no interest in arboreals)?
3) Is it a species I don't have?
If the answer to those questions is yes, and I can get it at a decent cost, and I can still take proper care of my current charges, then it's on the wishlist.

Versi are definitely a species I'm jealous that I can't get. Who doesn't love a shiny pink floof ball!

Move to Europe.

And miss out on all my true spider primitives? As fun as versi would be, I think I like my giant gold trapdoors

Bring them with you, preferably breeding pairs, then sell me the slings.

I would absolutely love to, the Aussie government not so much lol
