Any New Additions?

[Finikan]

I just found a TON of baby jumping spiders (too small to ID) and I grabbed a couple. I'm excited to see what they grow up to be

Oooh, let's see some pictures!

Oooh, let's see some pictures!

Sure thing! This little guy is currently in an old spice jar since I don't have any available enclosures at the moment. It's my first time keeping jumpers and I already love them

 

[WolleWolf]

I always wanted to keep my collection about 20(+-3)T´s, and actually I have 17 at home.

But somehow I lost my controll, just now for the sake of diversity (or call it addiction and ,ordered, 3 slings

Cyriopagopus. spec Sumatran tiger, Poecilotheria subfusca Spec Lowland and P. regalis! So I think am done with arboreals for now, though still an Avic Peru purple is missing...lol

And tomorrow 2 C. lividus slings will arrive. In a few days I am at 22 T´s ..

Just why.



Meet my new 2.5" Brachypelma emilia son from [REDACTED]. I'd like to thank my cat for needing food and myself for having absolutely no self control in the face of a decent deal.

Cat stuff is in the right once you enter the store and the registers to check out are 15 feet to the left. Live animals are on the far side of the store near the reptile stuff (except birds). You strayed hard.

They’re rennovating the store and the cat food is RIGHT ACROSS THE AISLE FROM THE TARANTULAS! I had to ask the dude who was cleaning the cages to check if they had any more of my cat’s food and stock and it was impossible to miss the big tarantula sticker.

I really shouldn’t have looked. Why did I look??

Because you have The Tarantula Bug. You can never resist looking at tarantulas and you can never resist buying them when they're a good price. You will never not have an interest in tarantulas.

Emilias are hard to resist, even from [REDACTED].

Obviously a setup from the jump. The T orchestrated the whole thing.

I mentioned your plight to my boyfriend, he says we are going to go there tomorrow to see if this is true.

YAY!!

Got my first two OWs yesterday! H. pulchripes and C. darlingi. I swore I'd never get OWs but baboons have stolen my heart.
Ordered a D. pentaloris and a G. pulchripes with them and they ended up being smaller than described and I'm a bit terrified as they're the smallest Ts I've ever had. The seller also added two freebies: LP and N. chromatus. I never ended up getting those so happy to have them added to my collection.

Congratulations! You got some of the very best ones, too! I know you will love them

I don't have a cat, but maaaaaybe I need to go tomorrow just to check it maybe they moved the dog food around

The newest additions are a C. Versicolor (Name: Indigo) and an E. Murinus (Name: Dae). I love the leg patterns on the Ephebopus genus and had a hard time choosing which one to get. Now I have seven NW T'sin my arsenal. Next is A. Purpurea, doubles of what I already have, and/or possible an OW, been looking at the M. Balfouri for a bit now, but not sure quite yet.

Just bought a 1" Avicularia purpurea

I won two little fellas today.

Tapinauchenius cf. brunneus


Ceratogyrus brachycephalus

Hmm, I can't edit my original post, but after some research here, I believe I may have a juruensis.

Confirmed! The seller contacted the breeder for confirmation and admitted he had gotten mixed up while using common names. I think he is wanting me to return it. No way.

So if it is the Avicularia juruensis the current name is Avicularia M2 if I’m not mistaken. The ‘M’ stands for morphtype.

I got my A. purpurea back in August, if I’m not mistaken it was $10- $20 more than the Avic M2. You could leave it be, or ask if he had known, what would the price difference have been. But honestly, both are few and far between and there are several members that would take the M2 over a purpurea hands down. I think they are both amazing, although I don’t have a M2.

The way I see it is mistakes happen and if you love it then it’s meant to be. If the overall seller experience was good then not worth burning bridges. I’m excited to see your posts on it honestly. Plus you got Kings, so I‘m stalking anyways.

Thank you! I was shocked a local mom and pop place had a purpurea and snatched it up impulsively without double checking. Completely my mistake. The price was right and no complaints about that. It was a happy little accident and I'm even more excited now!

Just ordered two Chaetopelma olivaceum slings. If you already have the opportunity to acquire spiders that can also be found in Europe...
