Vagans all the way. Easy on the wallet at just a few bucks a sling. Beware that adults are expensive though as with most Brachypelmas. I've heard many are aggressive but I know mine is as cool as a cuccumber.

Ok, now that I've settled things with my soon-to-molt B. Smithi Sling, Ive decided its time to find me a new T for my collection. This will be my third tarantula and I want one that will be good to hold and a little easy on my wallet. So what will it be?
If your going to vote, id prefer you read this... EASY ON THE WALLET!!!

Oh well, what OW spider IS easy to hold and easy on the wallet Rev?
Several are 'easy on the wallet' none are easy to hold lol.
T.Inc. Pterinochilus murinus - Usambara Sunburst Baboon - ½” $6 - SALE $4
Ceratogyrus brachycephalus - Greater Horned Baboon - ½” $20 - 1 ½” $30
Chilobrachys huahini - Huahini Bird Spider - ½” $10
Haplopelma lividium - Cobalt Blue - 1” $20
Heteroscodra maculata - Ornamental Baboon - ½” $20 - SALE $14

Thats just one dealer from the for sale and there were several other species at the $25 mark, how cheap do you need lol. All are great T's, most will get your adrenaline pumping when feeding or rehousing, several are outstanding lookers, one even swims, and not a hair flicker in the bunch lol.

Yeah, not a hair flicker in the bunch. That means they bite. Ok, just out of curiosity, out of the ones you just mentioned rev, which would you pick to be my next T?

Got to love those OW's. So cheap and so much wonderful attitude! :)
I thought hauhini's were NW's. I must have just mixed that up with another T though.
