Just got back from the expo. Things didn't go quite as planned, but I still got most of what I wanted:
1x Encyocratella olivacea,
1x Idiothele mira,
1x Pterinochilus murinus tan color form,
3x Cyriopagopus schioetdei,
1x Poecilotheria rufilata,
2x Stromatopelmas calceatum,
3x Phlogiellus sp. Koh Samui,
2x Psalmopoeus cambridgei,
4x Heteroscodra maculata
and an awesome piece of round cork bark.

The Cyriopagopus schioetdei was a nice last minute surprise since I was planning on getting some 3 or 4 years ago, but they became unavailable when I was ready to buy. The Phlogiellus sp. Koh Samui were part of a package deal and seem like really interesting little guys which I'm sure I'll love discovering more about.

I was also planning to get another Encyocratella olivacea, one Poecilotheria metallica, two Lampropelma violaceopes and two Augacephalus junodi, but the first three were sold out and the fourth was only coming in next week so no luck for those.

Still, I'm quite happy with the purchases since I've been wanting to expand the old world part of my collection for a while now and that feels like a good step. I'll have a couple to track down in the near future though since I got exited with the non-purchased ones, especially the junodi that I didn't expect to be available around here.

Oooooh... Tan P. murinus...

Do tell how it's behavior is.

Cool T.

I wish the black color form was available.

I'd love to have one of each.

Wish they had that kind of selection at the local expo I went to today! Gonna check out another one in Lodi, CA next month too.
Hope I can score big like you! Though don't have that kind of cash and space to add 18 more lol. Congrats!

I notice you have a youtube channel. Any chance you made a video of your expo pickups?

Not yet, but I plan to. Not quite sure yet how I'll do it though, maybe while rehousing them to make it easier to actually see them.

Nice haul. 18 Ts in one expo??? how much did you spend???
Half were only 5$ each so it's not so bad.
In total, it cost me 335$ for the slings which is at least 100-150$ less than I was planning to spend in the first place so I've been reasonable.

That took longer than expected, but I finished rehousing everyone today. Didn't think to feature the rufilata though since it didn't need rehousing yet.
