Given the Choice

[Poec54]

Id say get two of same species (whatever you end up getting) you might hit it big and get two opposite sexes and mate them in the far future....

I thought you knew how this worked.

Good choices I've just added a B klaasi myself this week but as of yet B baumgarteni is 1 Brachypelma that eludes me

 

[Adan]

that is strange, I have been finding them left and right

I don't know why but they don't turn up very often in the uk

hmmm crazy, hopefully more will be available in the market in the next few years

My list of Brachypelma is pretty big I own some of the rarer species they include
B verdezi B albopilosum hobby B albopilosum true B emilia B smithi B annitha B klaasi B schroederi B auratum B albiceps and I could probably add another 4 or 5 to that list tomorrow morning but like I said baumgarteni turns up maybe 1-2 times per year and I can't understand why because they are beautiful

I would love to compete a Brachypelma collection, as of now all I have are the 2 B baumgarteni 1 B smithi and 2 B klaassi. Next three I really want are the B verdezi B aninitha and the B schroederi

All 3 of your next 3 are brilliant choices I love my schroederi because it as attitude.
I love my annitha because as a tiny sling he lost 4 legs in a bad moult and I didn't think he would make now he's 1-1,5" and doing great.My verdezi eats like a pig but is the most tolerant Brachypelma I own and they are truely beautiful, sadly mine matured 1 month ago so I'm on the look out for a female or he can go out on loan

Understandable, good luck on looking for a mate for him!

So quick question going along with the slings I have chosen. I am wondering trading a mature female GBB and an immature male GBB for 0.0.1 B Baumgateni and 0.0.2 B klaasi is a fair deal?

thats tough, seems about even to me. i almost never see klassi or baumgarteni up here, but still, a MF GBB.. and a male..

I was very hesitant about it, knowing that I could make a decent amount in breeding the two GBB down the road, but the way I see it is I currently do not feel ready to breed Tarantulas and I never got into collecting Ts for the money. I see it as an opportunity to collect the sp. that I want and if I get lucky and have the experience in the future then I will breed them.
