Sooooo, the expo in Hamm, the biggest in Germany (maybe even Europe) is coming up again (2 more weeks) and I'm planing. Last year I've started collecting arboreals, so that's whats on my list. (Why, oh why did I start? There are so many of them and I'm really out of space!)
I've extensively studied the sales lists of all the big vendors and now I can't decide:
Do I want (all spiderlings, I usually would buy 3 slings and hope for at least one female):
Psalmopoeus pulchra ?
Tapinauchenius gigas?
T. elenae ?
T. sanctivincenti?
As I said I'm out of space, so I should preferably only buy one species. After chasing my brand new P. ecclesiasticus sling in circles while housing on the weekend I'm not so sure I'm ready for a Tap... but then I'm a fast learner. (Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus = church affiliated Psalm maker = the most ridiculous name for a spider ever
)
Which one on the list is most visible? Which one is the prettiest? I've seen none of them in rl.
Btw, I've already pre-ordered 1 juvenile female C. schioedtei and 1 juv. female C. sp. hatihati. and from my favorite breeder I pre-ordered 1 juv. female L. borneo black. (Should I get a L. nigerrimum, too, sometime, or is it very similar to the borneo black?)
