Any New Additions?

[fishboyuk]

About 2 weeks ago I took delivery of
Brachypelma albopilosum 5cm
Brachypelma emilia 1cm
Brachypelma vagans 3cm
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 1.5cm
Avicularia avicularia Peru purple 1.5cm
Psalmopoeus irminia 2cm
Poecilotheria Metallica 3cm

All now feeding and webbing up nicely. I really would like to see the P. irminia one day, it made a little mound of web and dirt against the cork bark and haven't seen it since, but the crickets are disappearing so I'm taking that as a good sign. Boy was that thing fast.

Today I got three new slings from cold blood:

• Omothymus schioedtei
• Poecilotheria regalis (my first Pokie!)
• Pterinopelma sazimai

Three great species. The colours of the P sazimai are so underrated, in my opinion.

I got two little b schroederi slings from a forum user. They threw in a freebie, and I assumed I was getting a b albo or something, but it was a GBB! I have a juvie already, but I’ve been wanting to raise one as a sling to see all those color changes.

I am looking forward to having a blue spider. (My versi sling is currently blue, but she won't remain a blueberry forever.)

I forgot this thread exist. Here’s my first theraphosa. T. blondi

Better pic of the Grammostola sp. now she’s settled in.

Definitely not rosea...looks like sp. north

Cheers. I did have my doubts but it’s difficult to find reliable information on these species.

Picked up a few new ones today

3 Brachypelma albopilosum slings
2 Caribena versicolor
1 Prerinopelma sazimai
1 Psalmopoeus pulcher

Got a cb Brachypelma Hamorii 1.5 to 2" sling today. Totally bald abdomen so I know they are a little hair kicker! With any luck my 1/2" sling turns out to be a male and the bigger one female. Not sure if growth rates would coincide but could end up a breeding pair.

Next weekend is the last expo of the year in my area and may end up with a few more slings.

Awesome t's! P saz are gorgeous! I want to get one down the road when I have more experience.

It doesn't help that a lot of photos of them are color enhanced. People get them expecting something like a freshly molted P. metallica and are disappointed when that doesn't happen.

My P. irminia took a decent sized locust overnight on Friday then I found a fresh moult outside it's curtains this morning. I can't wait to see it one day maybe

No enhancement, still beautiful imo.

Personally, I prefer the dark, subdued blue.

Got a whole bunch of slings last night from a local breeder for extremely good prices.
3x B. emilia 1/4"
3x N. incie 1/3"
3x P. irminia 1"
1x T. violaceus 1"
1x GBB 1/2"

Haven't had slings in a year so this will be interesting.

My post was more about my dislike of color enhanced photos rather than anything against P sazimai. Mine is more of a lilac color, I'm not sure if that will change as she matures, but I don't really care - I like her fine as she is.

But I do think these color enhanced photos end up causing disappointment, and are basically done mostly as dishonest advertising by dealers. Although some are probably done by keepers to make others think they have a "special" T.

Thats kinda dissapointing that dealers would do that. I can see your point with keepers though. See that a lot with reptiles and different morphs. I never have cared about stuff like that. I have a crazy leopard gecko morph that most havent seen before but that wasn't even on my mind when I got her (except for the price difference). I was looking more at personality and she is awesome!

I can see the problem with photo enhancement on tarantulas. I have seen a few P saz in person and they all are cool looking at that 3" mark!
