Went to Repticon in Orlando, Fl yesterday and picked up 3 T's and a gorgyrella sp., all for $105. Can't wait to change the enclosure for the trapdoor :wall:

Avic metallica (around 3-4") $30 (included a decent sized container)
Avic versicolor (.5") $20 (almost lost it in the carpet {D)
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescnes (1.5") $45 (beautiful but fast)
Gorgyrella sp. (3") $10 (originally $15 but i managed to get a discount)

I can't quite remember which vender it was but they had the widest range of arachnids in the whole building. Sadly, i woke up to find the gorgyrella in a death curl this morning, placed it's chelicerae in a small bottle cap with water and left to school. It's all i could do :/ but no luck </3

They usually have the normal rosieas though some have E. Murins. E uatuman and some guy offered me a F. Singapore Blue WC. You have to dig or ask them if they have anything higher end.

Is that third pic the Avicularia metallica? If so, that's not an A. metallica, they don't have any red setae. If anything, that looks more like an A. urticans with the purplish tint and the location of the reddish setae. Either way, beautiful T!

And sorry about the trapdoor and enjoy watching the color changes of the other two!

Yes, the third pic is (as labeled by the dealer) A metallica. Hmmm maybe i should get some more opinions on that then, thanks for the heads up!

Thank you, i'm gunnu try to order one from the local exotics store, those guys are too cool not to have one. Speaking of color changes, how long does it take an H lividum to start showing blue coloration? Mine is about 2in in legspan at the moment and is still brown (from what i can see into the burrow)
