Reptile show in Portland, OR today. There were at least 6 sellers with a great arachnid selection. I sold 4 (2 P muticus, a P cancerides, and an A chalcodes)
I bought a female P sazamai, a female P tigrinawesseli, and a suspect female B baumgarteni, plus a Telephonida sp, , a L quinquestriatus, a B jacksoni, a H arizonensis, and a H hottentotta
Good wallet draining haul.

Quite scared A. metallica I picked up at the Midwest Reptile Show. I love her already.

 

[EmilzHernandez]

So happy, I got one of my dream spiders, a gorgeous female P.irminia.
I also picked up a subadult female C.darlingi, 2 P.bara slings, a P.murinus RCF sling, a tiny A.geniculata sling, and my first scorpions, 2 H.spinifer scorplings. Im also getting a P.dictator, courtesy of @MathiasVG

Got a Hapalopus sp. Columbia "Small" sling today. It wasn't exactly on my wanted list(the large one is though) but I didn't want to leave another show empty handed, it was only $15, it's a nice looking dwarf and now I'm back to an even 10 tarantulas.
I love how even as slings they show their adult patterns.

I just returned from Repticon with two new tarantulas.

The first is my first Old World tarantula, a female Ceratogyrus marshalli. (Thanks to @cold blood for the tip that they are sexually dimorphic! $30 was a great price for a 4" confirmed female.)

Picked up a sub-adult female T. stirmi at the Tucson Reptile Show today.

Felt like King Nerd walking around with her at the show, trying to find a good hide for her. Everyone wanted to get a good look at her.

So yeah, another species checked off my wish list.

 

[Ztesch]

I got 3 new additions today from evils arachnids at the Scott smith animal expo. 2 T's and one scorpion.
B. Vagans 1.75 inch Juvinile

P.Sazamai 1/2 inch sling

H. Spinifer (Asian forest scorpion) My first scorpion. I got this as a freebie.

 

[Ungoliant]

Picked up a sub-adult female T. stirmi at the Tucson Reptile Show today.

Nice. I saw a couple of larger stirmis at Repticon yesterday. The one that was only marked $60 was kind of tempting, but at that size and price, I wondered if he was a male. (If so, he wasn't mature yet.)

Nice! That was one species I used to have firmly entrenched on my "Nope! Never gonna get one of those!" list - right up until I saw my big, beautiful girl sitting on a table at Repticon about a year and a half ago and absolutely had to have her!

I just picked up a few cool Ts 2 P.ruffilata slings, Pseudhapalopus sp.blue and X.sp. blue. I’m pretty excited about all of them especially the X.sp. blue. I’ve been wanting one for quite awhile now.

 

[Gracjan]

I have always kept snakes, but have just recently gotten over the fear of spiders. I picked up an avic avic about a week ago and I love watching it so much I just ordered a GBB. I like how much they webb. Give me an idea for the next addition

Well, you have an arboreal, and you will have a webber. Perhaps you might like a terrestrial to complete the trinity?

Some beginner-friendly terrestrial species that are usually pretty easygoing:

• Aphonopelma chalcodes
• Brachypelma albopilosum
• Brachypelma emilia
• Euathlus
• Grammostola pulchra (if you can find one)
• Grammostola pulchripes

@EulersK made these videos highlighting some beginner species:

@Tomoran also has these recommendations for beginner species:

 

[basin79]

Yes. This stunner (Pamphobeteus sp Costa) that came off @KezyGLA. More pics on my thread.

First time buying off @KezyGLA. Certainly won't be my last. Fantastically packed with a healthy T inside.
