I have 2 Hapalopus sp. larges. Is there any difference with the smalls besides size?
My bad, I missed that you listed them in your current collection. I can't find anything that confirms this as fact, but from what I've noticed, it appears that the shape of the orange/bronze portion on the carapace seems to differ between the small and large species. The small species seems to have a triangle shape, whereas the large species has more of a gourd shape. In the picture in my last post, you can see the triangle starting by it's eyes and reaching it's point at the center of the carapace. Yours probably have gourd shapes on the carapace, if I'm correct.

Here below is pretty much my whole collection, added the scorpion and mantis in just so you guys can see what else I had (I have many more animals, these are just the arachnids and insects)

These include the scorpion (H. petersii), an orchid mantis (H. coronatus) 2 GBBs (sling and adult), A. Geniculata, 2 Hapalopus sp large, N. Chromatus, and a B. Hamorii. Pretty much all the slings are hidden in these pics except for the GBB.

I’ll add more pics on a separate post, seems I can only add 10 per post. Best pic I have of my GBB is on my avatar.

I see more enclosures then inverts, still cool though...that mantis of yours is beautiful.

If they weren't so short-lived I would keep them.

I'd add Davus pentaloris. Mine recently molted and pictures on the internet don't really do it justice. Shiny copper carapace with velvet blue legs with copper coloured hairs. The abdomen pattern is really beautiful as well.

I’ll try posting some pics of the slings that weren’t hiding. I bought that mantis thinking it would live like 3 years at least. Turns out it’ll live only 1 year, if not less. :(

Normally I’m not much interested in dwarf Ts, but that is a pretty nice one. Definitely adding that one.

Xenesthis genus and Pamphobeteus genus are a couple of the first to come to mind (most the others are already on your list.)

Look for the guess the spider thread. there are some lookers in there and it's fun to play the game.

It is pretty nice, it’s just that there’s 2 other species (B. Vagans and G. Igeringi) that have a very similar color scheme. I have to research which of the three gets bigger, faster to grow, more docile, and easier to care.
T. ockerti is a hair kicker, G. iheringi can be a bit flighty, and B. vagans are a bit of a mixed bag temperament-wise.

G. iheringi is the biggest and fastest grower.
B. vagans grows pretty fas and gets to a medium size.
T. ockerti is the slowest growing out of the bunch.
