Theraphosinae sp. “Panama”

That good ol’ mystery species from Panama. It’s quite a pleasurable spider to keep. Easy care, not terribly skittish, and a good eater.
@Thekla you better start saving - or win the lottery. These are among the more expensive species. Apparently they are in high demand but difficult to breed. I haven't got one because my price limit for a female is 100 Euro and these are always above that.

I may break down one day, though, and still get one...
 
@Anoplogaster Very tempting! :astonished: But what @boina said will help me restrain myself for the moment. :p Also, I just got 4 new slings, who gonna need/get my attention right now. Nonetheless, this species is definitely going on my constantly growing wish list. :D
 
@boina Here in the U.S., I got this one as a sling for $120 USD. Certainly the most I’ve ever paid for a sling, but not the most I’ve paid for a spider. Regarding breeding, though..... Should we really be breeding a species that we know so little about? What are the odds of potentially hybridizing multiple cryptic species?
 
Jealous, jealous, jealous! When I got a new job, I used to get myself a new purse. I promised myself that when I get a new job this time, I am getting a sling of one of these guys. And yes, I'll accessorize my outfit with a sling if I care too. I took a quart ball jar with a big blue versicolor and 1/2 quart ball jar with a juvenile gbb to a counseling appointment last week. I'll by-God take my Panama to a board meeting if I choose to!

BTW, shrink was totally charmed by spiders. "Wow," she commented, "now I get it about you and these things. How utterly glamorous and fascinating they are."
 
This one and/or that ami sp panama flame, I almost put money down for either last weekend. Didn't have enough cash on me, breeder wasn't taking cards. then I thought maybe I would kill it... they were pretty small. sling care is pretty easy? I get anxious keeping little things so moist.
