[Arachnoheebs]

were ALL IN IT 4 THElove of it.LETS SUPPORT EACH OTHER.[/QUOTE

Thank you, well said...(I personally do not care for the species, but I am happy for you!!) I KNOW THE FEELING when you get your DREAM T and someone STOMPS all over YOUR VERY OWN PERSONAL HAPPINESS,because you've worked for it. I THOUGHT that's what this forum WAS about, sharing and being happy for our fellow T colllectors, whatever kind it may be. You go ahead and be happy and love it. You can even sit up in the dark with a flashlight and peek at it at night. (that's what I do)
ENJOY...

ok...am i the only 1 that finds getting a gooty exciting???or is there a new spider in town that everybody is drooling over???lol

The new rage is the rare sapphire rosea from the remote region of Kuhla Dupar Chile.

Wow, fangsalot was only trying to share his/her excitement for a new spider. You guys can be awfully harsh sometimes .
I won't be investing in a P. metallica anytime soon (I'd much rather in invest in several slings of species I'd enjoy just as much/more), but to each their won. I'm not going to trash fangsalot's taste.

 

[Ewok]

I have four 1" slings and a 5" female and I love them all.

, for the price those go for I hope you married them lol

Are you going to breed the female? That would make some nice pocket change:drool:

I was wondering, how many years has the gooty been in the hobby?

 

[Tony]

Honestly, no.

P. Mettlica is nice but for the price I could get some very beautiful tarantulas. Think about it if it dies you are out some $$$. Congrats on the new addition. But you may find that they are not as popular as you might think.

For me it is just too pricely and not really that beautiful

ROWR!

Congrats on getting something YOU like, YOU appreciate, and makes YOU happy.
At a price YOU felt was acceptable...Sheesh.
You know you might they 'arent as popular' as you might think, bu then again life isnt about what people think of what makes YOU happy.
Me personally, I am happy for you, in terms of YOU getting what YOU wanted..
Enjoy the hobby how you like it

Are you going to breed the female? That would make some nice pocket change:drool:

I'm going to as soon as she matures. She's in premolt right now but, as soon as she molts and starts to feed again she'll be ready.

hmm interesting.ima look into that.

 

[fangsalot]

thanx everyone for the kind words.

 

[Mina]

P. metallicas are very lovely and you are very fortunate to have gotten a T that you have wanted as much as you must have wanted this one. congratulations and enjoy your lovely new baby. My sincerest wishes that your new little one is a girl for you.

 

[fangsalot]

thanx mina..if it is a female, the male is easily obtainable. the people who said kinds words,get the best price for a gooty sling around!

Ooooh, sounds lovely. I'm going to do a search, but if you have any ifo or can direct my to a site, please let me know. Thanks.

 

[roberto]

Congrats on the addition. I was pretty excited when I got mine and can't wait for it to get past the sling stage. In my opinion, they are worth the price. Beautiful T. I wouldn't hesitate to get another, I just don't have the space.

 

[Hedorah99]

Congrats! You sound as excited as when I first got an M. robustum. That was my Holy Grail at the time. Def share some pics.

 

[CodeJACK]

Well done on the new T.

Any chance of a few pix?

I hope to get one of these once they are a little more common and cheaper!

Congrats.

 

[SICKBOY]

Hell Yeah!!

ok...am i the only 1 that finds getting a gooty exciting???or is there a new spider in town that everybody is drooling over???lol

I just got myself 2 Gooty Saphire's and I am totally PSYCHED!!

I paid $200 each for unsexed 1" slings from Tarantula Canada. Cheapest place and only in Canada to be selling them and I believe the first CB (Captive Bred) in Canada.

As for the new "IT" spider. I thought there wouldn't be a spider that could top it but I came across one that I would trade both my P. Metallica's for. It's called Monocentropus Balfouri - "Blue Baboon" Slings are selling for $400 Canadian. They are gorgeous blue, really hardy, fast growing and spin incredible webs. I have never seen anything like it and I can't wait to get my hands on a pair. Sub-Adult Females are $900+

 

[bluegootty]

lol 900 ..omg hope ur not getting ripped..or seem like the dealer are cutting you up slowly...but good luck..after all it's your money and you do wat you want.. but if i was you..i would look around or bargain a better price for your pocket..900 are just crazy.!!!!!!

 

[GartenSpinnen]

For that species for a female at this time 900 isnt too far fetched... You got slings going for a few hundred...
