Ok, so as some of you know my juvie female B. smithi made like Clint Eastwood in Escape From Alcatraz and I haven't been able to find her yet. I'm still hoping, but I'm not going to delude myself about the chances of it as I didn't see her escape and she's in the basement with tons of places to go/hide.
At this point I'm getting sad every time I open up my T cabinet for feeding/watering and see her empty enclosure sitting there. So I've decided to fill it. If I do find her, I have temp places to put her until I can get another permanent enclosure. Its an 8x8x14 inch acrylic enclosure from Jamie's so I can use it for terrestrial or arboreal, but I would need for the spider to be at least a well along juvie or sub-adult/adult to make sense because of the enclosure size. Its also really good for viewing so I'd rather not use it on a pet hole. Here are a few thoughts...
- M. balfouri - obviously beautiful and there's an adult one available. a little pricey but not too bad. temperament not too bad for a baboon.
- A. genic - eating machine and very visible but haven't found a larger one available
- C. darlingi - a classic and found a sub-adult female available
- P. subfusca - really love Pokies and want to get one in the near future but would probably be more comfortable starting off with a sling for my first...so this one is a 50/50
- X. sp blue - holy crap, what a beautiful spider. holy crap, how much????
Thoughts?
