Not sure about expos, but you’re looking at about $120 range for one.
Does it come with all you need when you ordered it from dude? Like the substrate, the hide, the enclosure, and food plus the accessories and all of that other good stuff?
I’ll message you.
Generally no, you're just buying the spider. Some vendors sell 'complete kits' for a higher cost than the spider alone.
Look forward to it
Ahh. I understand what you mean. Thank you for that seriously. Even though I suck at it
hmmm, I’ll take these little ones under consideration, thank you for telling me about this.
take as much time as you need for it. I’m in no hurry or rush whatsoever. But I thank you for that nonetheless
I've been raising dwarf Ts for a very long time. The first species you mention (BTW please Latin names and DO NOT combine Latin names with common names in the same string of words, that's just plain wrong on PRINCIPLE)
H. chilensis is excellent, and the best dwarf. Raised many myself.
@PapaSpyder26 I do not recommend anything from this genus for a new person. They come at 1/8" in size usually, and they are among the slowest growing genus out there. Most new people who get these end up killing it or get frustrated with the low metabolism.
DO NOT combine Latin names with common names in the same string of words, that's just plain wrong on PRINCIPLE. And don't capitalize the species name, that's wrong too.
See above, it is NOT sp Gold!! there is the gold and olive color/pattern form- SAME SPECIES. Olive is wild-type, Gold is a mutation of both pattern and color.
Ugh, I knew this what out there and totally blanked on it. I gotta bookmark it or put you on speed dial.
"Not seeing them much" is my opinion understatement. I repeat once again: I got my C. elegans in early August and I've seen it exactly 3 times: once when I bought it, once when it came out to eat, and once during rehousing. Yesterday I saw a sign of activity in his cup for the first time in 7 weeks. So in my opinion keeping a cup of dirt is as entertaining as keeping a C. elegans.
Good point, should have scrapped that recommendation. I’ve had mine for months and it’s stI’ll not much bigger than 1/16” when I got it.
That’s why I said that cause I know that is the typical experience. I on the other hand see mine all the time, I rehoused it out of the deli cup I got it and it has been very terrestrial. It has been burrowed for a few weeks due to premolt but it left me a crystal clear window on the bottom so I can see it everyday and I just checked in with it this morning and it molted!
I have the Pseud sp Columbia. Smallest sling Ive seen ever. It was microscopic, not an exaggeration. My eyesight is fine too. It has a very very slow metabolism. It's a very fast species when it wants to leave as well, not slow like some other dwarfs.
Just takes practice. If you spend enough time on these boards researching the scientific names they just become second nature
I don’t kill tarantulas. It’s just not my thing. Often times I can’t really pronounce certain Ts. Correct so I try to remember what they are. Which was why I said what I said. But thank you. For correcting me. On the matter besides I don’t mind certain tarantulas as slings. Because I’d love the experience of actually watching them grow despite it to become years for their full adult coloration other than that I am perfectly fine with them being 1/8 slings. It wouldn’t bother me. But hearing you say that people kill them? That’s just plain wrong. Ps you have extremely beautiful babies. And I just love their colorations.I've been raising dwarf Ts for a very long time.

The former species there is a great species but is extremely fast. It has no uriticating setae though!!

Seriously? are they really that hard to find?
hmmm, I’ll do just that. Thank you for telling me about that. Even though I suck with Scientific names. There are several that are actually gorgeous (regular sized) Ts
Not kill them on purpose, by accident due to their size. It is harder to care for a tiny sling than a full size adult for any species.
Homoeomma chilensis and Neischnocolus sp. "Panama" are the easiest for a newbie to deal with as they buck the trend of dwarf species being fast/skittish/bolty.
