The male on Rick West's site is not much different- http://www.birdspiders.com/archive/87392B2FG3048G23A9G274E505F90E5FC35.htmlIs there much color variation between males and females ?
yes you areok,,im bringin the thread back.as rare as m.balfouri is (and it is very beautiful)p.metallica has to be the most eye catching T. to date.the pepsi blue with the banana yellow,,come on,am i alone on this?
No your not Fangs. I'd rather have a pokie with the colors of the metallica that I get to see more often than any pet hole. Like you said, the M. balfouri is awsome and I'd like to have one but my preferences for any T that is highly desireable has to be one that I can see from time to time.yes you are
i would pay gladly 400+ for the m.balfouri and not even half that for a metallica (notice i dont own one ) balfouri is also on the top of my want list and metallica is about 10 Ts down
I've heard they come equipped with surface to air missiles, too.The only T that im willing to pay for almost a gran is the Chicken Spider. Chicken spider are communual ts, i heard that they are bigger than the t blondi and also they are velvet black in color and very bulky. they remind me of M Peterklassi
Yeah, don't worry Joe. Plenty went into experienced breeder's hands before the average hobbyists even got a price.It's good to know that a lot of the first import went straight to breeders (as it should be)...I hate to see rare species snatched up by 'pokemon collectors'.
While i agree that rare species should go to breeders first, may i remind you that without us "pokeymon collectors" most breeders wouldn't be selling their slings and the whole hobby as it is today would essentially cease to be. Non-breeding collectors probably make up about 90% of the hobby. Who's going to be shelling out $5000 for ten slings of the latest, greatest species if there's nobody to buy the babies once they've grown and bred?It's good to know that a lot of the first import went straight to breeders (as it should be)...I hate to see rare species snatched up by 'pokemon collectors'.
However, if the pokemon collectors buy all the slings and have no intent to breed them those species never get established in the hobby.While i agree that rare species should go to breeders first, may i remind you that without us "pokeymon collectors" most breeders wouldn't be selling their slings and the whole hobby as it is today would essentially cease to be.

Sorry to hear about the now ex-girlfriend.I figured she'd be better off in the hands of a breeder.
She's currently in the hands of an individual, not at a store. I'm sure he'll find the right person for her.Sorry to hear about the now ex-girlfriend.
So you passed up the M. robustum, but how do you know she'll end up with an experienced breeder. Some Joe-Schmoe (here I go using my own name to make a point) might walk in and buy her and not know the first thing about tarantulas. Kinda doubtful with that particular species, but you never know.
Just my thoughts.

Ah, well that's good. Nevermind then.She's currently in the hands of an individual, not at a store. I'm sure he'll find the right person for her.
