Hi all,
I've been thinking for the last few days on new Ts to add to the collection.
Considering availability and restrictions on each online shop I have come up with two sets of options.
Restrictions on building each set:
Rationale behind the selections
I'm very interested in both the G. pulchra and the Theraphosa and both should end up in my collection at some point. I don't really mind which one comes first. The Theraphosa has the extra attractive for me of building a nice bioactive enclosure for it, it's something I enjoy doing for my snakes. The extras on both options come to a mix of wanting to raise a few slings (but leaving out of the equation very small ones below L3) plus looking for fast/more defensive examples without going crazy with difficult OWs (the balfouri may be in the fringe there, not sure). I'm interested in heavy webbers hence the Linothele, although I know it's very fast.
Thanks for any feedback/opinions/suggestions!

Restrictions on building each set:
- Vendor A has a minimum order of 150€
- Vendor B has no minimum, but a shipping cost of 25€, so it also makes sense to get a few in one go
- G. pulchra F 2.5cm BL
- P. irminia L4/L5
- M. balfouri L5
- Cyriocosmus elegans L3/L4
- Linothele megatheloides L5/L6
- Neoholothele incei L6/L7
- Theraphosa apophysis F 7cm DSL
- Linothele megatheloides L5/L6
- P. irminia L4/L5
