Your 2019 Tarantula Wishlist?

[FrmDaLeftCoast]

It's actually sp. 'green femur'. Caribbean Emerald was the second common name given to it, idk why, but probably for marketing purposes and to make it sell more I guess. It's pretty annoying when vendors do this

Thanks for the correction!

 

[antinous]

Thanks for the correction!

Np...it always irritates me when vendors don't label the species correctly...

 

[Jacobob]

Not a T but would love some Latrodectus bishopi!

You will be happy with M.Balfouri, the Chilobrachys may end up like mine and just hide all the time.
T. Seladonia will be on my list until it comes down to a significantly better price
( Come on you guys BREED THEM )
Which will be never lol.

 

[Marika]

Eupalaestrus campestratus
Thrixopelma cyaneolum
Grammostola sp. Concepcion

 

[JamesGSixx]

Any phormictopus sp. Or psalmopoeus sp.

Edit:
Theraphosinae sp. 'Panama

Wow i've never seen a tarantula so red. Are they a dwarf sp?

Actually down to one: 0.1 L. nigerrimum.

Looks a lot like a haplopelma minax. gotta love black t's

Probably going for a Psalmopoeus cambridgei/irminia then dipping my toes into OW C. Marshalli/H. Pulchripes then OBT then the ultimate goal p. metallica but you never know

You should definitely go for OW's. Marshalli and OBT's are great starters since they're super easy to care for. as long as there isn't any handling involved, you'll be fine

 

[Paul1126]

Euathlus sp red
Aphonopelma chalcodes
Xenesthis immanis

 

[JamesGSixx]

I'm surprised these are not on more first OW lists. Most find them to be shy, retreating rather threat displaying. From what little I could find on their venom says it's wasp sting level. They are fast, and need moist substrate. My two are pretty laid back, good eaters, and are a more subdued orange color than a OBT, but still amazing looking. Overall if you're planning on getting into OWs, they are a good place to start.

I've always wanted that t! it's funny cause that's a local specie here in the philippines but i can't find anyone that sells them. How much do they sell for there?

1. G. pulchra
2. O. sp Mindanao Oriental & Central (heard from a friend that the Central sp can reach 9")

3. P. irminia

I'd love to get into more local sp's here in the philippines. Can't seem to find any orphnaecus philippinus tho

I think I saw some for sale before, but none as of late. So far my only local species are the O. sp Mindanao South and P. baeri. Would also love to have more local sp's.

 

[Venom1080]

Rare(ish) Asian arboreals. Need Phormingochilus carpenteri.

Chilobrachys sp are really interesting me nowadays too. Really nice dark blue and orange ones in the genus.

Finish the pokie collection. Have 11 females of 10 species. Just 4 to go.

Some rarer Avicularia wouldn't hurt. Sp Columbia, Ecuador, merianae, rufa.

Haploclastus Devamatha (Thrigmopoeus Psychedelicus

Hey 8LeggedLair, these look really cool. Do you know what their temperaments like?

Idk I’ve never seen an orange one minus the Photoshopped images... unless I’m missing something I like orange T’s as well.

Thanks, this is helpful .

Hey no problem, they are rather expensive just to be aware... upwards 150€ for a 2cm sling. Cheapest I’ve ever seen one was 120€ for a 2.5cm female sling.. as soon I was bout to click add to cart it sold out was in 2016, never seen it below 135€ for a 2cm sadly... this is the only reason why I haven’t owned one yet. Same for P.Metallica, so expensive.

Well it seems a certain site in Poland has 10 for 75€ 1.5cm unsexed... nope, I want a female.
