If I were you I would get (money willing of course):

Avicularia versicolor
Ceratogyrus darlingi or marshalli
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (get a couple)
Heteroscroda maculata (get 2 or 10 of them cuz they're cheap).
Every one of the Pokies!!! But a metallica (if it's in your price range), ornata, and regalis for sure.
Pretty much anything and everything you can find from the Pterinochilus genus. (Everyone should have at least 3 OBT's)
and a handful of Stromatopelma calceatum's (just cuz you can ) LOL.

Oh, and throw in a G. rosea and a couple of Birdeaters for good measure.

Find something you want not what we tell you ya should get the decision is yours it has to be something that grabs you ya just can't live without so do your research and pick a winner oh ya Happy Birthday....

"Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (get a couple)"
"Avicularia versicolor" ( These are a must have in every collection, these are the meat and potatos of Ts )

Lol, my b-day is Monday and I bought myself a new terrarium for it. Unfortunately, I may return it if it doesn't start growing on me more!

Might as well hold onto it. You're going to need it eventually. Otherwise you could always just go out and buy another spider.

It just looks kinda lifeless... My adult female Vagans is in it, and I want to do something different to it. She has PLENTY of space in there, and I wouldn't mind hanging some fake vines in there and finding a nice fake skull hide to use instead of the flowerpot that's in there now. Any ideas where to find a fake skull large enough to fit a 5" vagans in?

Wal-Mart in the fish department. $10. I got one for my OBT, Picture can be found in this thread... http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/showthread.php?t=208627

 

[gmrpnk21]

Exactly what I am looking for! When did you find that?

 

[Tym Hollerup]

Oh boy... It wasn't that long ago. Probably 5 months at the most. I live in Sheboygan, WI though. I'm not sure if all Wal-Marts would have them, but I don't see why not. Most inventory should stay the same from store to store I would think. And to let you know, there is an entrance in the back of the skull as well. But my OBT has webbed the entire thing shut already and I haven't seen her for at least a month and a half.

Lol, how big is the hole in back? My vagans is pretty big and I want it to be her hide...

I'm glad you asked as this gives me a reason to pimp my YouTube channel. LOL. In this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywmHidsWolg&feature=channel_video_title you can see the hole in the back.

 

[gmrpnk21]

Looks great, but I can't tell how big that hole is?

 

[Tym Hollerup]

Did you watch the video? You can see the hole just fine in there. It's slightly bigger then the holes for the eyes. Probably 2.5"-3" or so. Plenty big enough for most T's.

 

[gmrpnk21]

Think I can make it bigger with a dremel?

 

[Tym Hollerup]

Think I can make it bigger with a dremel?

I kind of doubt that. It's just made of plastic. I guess if you're SUPER careful, you MIGHT be able too. But seriously, how much bigger do you need it to be? How big is the spider for Gods sake!?!

 

[gmrpnk21]

About 5" or so?

 

[Tym Hollerup]

About 5" or so?

What is the max size going to be on it? What kind of spider is it again?
