Hi,
I have a nice collection of spiders, some of the obvious ones people like. I don't think I have the room to get too many more, and would like some help selecting the next two or three.
I got most of mine as sling around the beginning of this year, they are growing up, some faster than others.
Some preferences:
1) That environmental requirements are not more difficult than for the tarantulas I already own.
2) Mellow spider preferred - however fast is okay, and moderately aggressive is okay - but not both in one spider, if possible. (My H macs are still small but scare the crap out of me, they are so quick, but I am fine with my OBT.) I like all the spiders in my collection a lot.
3) I tend to like heavier bodied fuzzy spiders, or the stocky ones with a "velvet" look. Smooth, leggy thin ones, not so much.
4) Prefer captive bred.
Here are the 18 I currently have, last ones were purchased in late 2009 through March 2010:
C cyanopubescens
P cambridgei
P irminia (2)
L violaceopes
A avicularia
Euathlus "blue" (2)
N coloratovillosus
B smithi
B klaasi
G pulchra
L parahybana
Epebopus murinus
P murinus (OBT)
H maculata (2)
X immanis
Any suggestions for me?
Thanks in advance!
