Title says it all, I am getting the following T's this weekend: 2 a. sp peru purples, 2 a. azuraklaasi, 2 L. violaceps, 1 H. maculata. I can't wait, I dont have any of these yet and I think they are gonna be awesome. I sorta want to just get one more and make it an even 8 bringing my grand total to 20 T's. but im not sure what I want to order and from who.

any suggestions on an 8th?

btw im keeping it all arboreal at the moment.

;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P ;P

1st of all, congrats on your soon-to-be new additions, you'll really like them, especially the violaceps, the peru purple and the maculata :)

anyhoo, my advice to you would be... if you get an 8th, get either Psalmopeous pulcher or some sort of Tapinauchenius sp.

I really like pokies but not sure what i can find right now, in order these are the ones i want:
p. metallica !!!!!
p. subfusca
p. rufilata

I was thinking about a pulcher but it isnt as high on my list as other T's.
I really want an I. hirsutum or a. amazonica even m. balfouri would be sweet, but I missed out on my chance to get one of those a couple of days ago.

I was also thinking about doing an H. Incei communal Not sure how much 5-10 slings is gonna cost me but i think it would be awesome.

Are there any other Arboreals out there that i dont know about haha, I really want to find something totally new and awesome looking.

UPDATED***with pics***

Got all 7 in the mail today safe and sound, just completed rehousing them. here are the pics.

lining them up for their respective enclosures


L. violaceopes chillin


the other one ran straight down when it got into the enclosure and hasnt moved since.


A. azuraklaasi striking a pose



from left to right
H. Mac, then the two A. sp. peru purples.


then the whole thing


I need to get a T for the enclosure in the back of this pic, its all set up but doesnt have a T in it. I was thinking a pokie of some sort, it would love the cork bark in it.



Today has been an awesome day.;P :eek: :D ;P :eek: :D ;P :eek: :D ;P

:cool:

update

one of the azuraklaasi allready molted, i think my h. mac the other azuraklaasi and one of the peru purps are gonna molt pretty soon too.

so i didnt just settle for 1 T to even out my 20 T's lol. instead i ordered 3 new T's coming next weekend. which personally will be even bigger than this weekend. the lineup:
p. metallica sling
p. subfusca sling
p. rufilata

I am soooooo pumped for next weekend!!

:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

thanks, I cant wait to get them, its only sunday, I have to wait a whole week! bleh. haha.

I put the formosa that i had into the other empty taller arboreal enclosure so now I have to get busy making 3 new enclosures. as soon as im done boiling all of the cork bark im gonna start assembling the one enclosure, I still need to buy a few more. Looks like im making a trip back to hobby lobby.

Hopefully its not too big. I think the biggest sling im getting is 2.5" and the enclosure measures 7"x4"x4". Im going to fill the bottom two inches with some substrate so it wont be too big I guess.

I am no expert on sexing, but I have been curious to as what sex the new ones are. I can't sex the rufilata obviously because its still to small but I looked at the ventral shots of the p. metallica and p. subfusca and both are looking female to me. Does anyone else have any opinions?

thanks for all the compliments. I am so happy that i got a p. metallica before it got to cold to ship here in IL.
:D :D :D
