Monocentropus Balfouri are great beginner OW species and can be kept dry.

Theyre not terribly hard to find, nor are they terribly expensive. Ive bred them a few times, interest in the slings was surprisingly low....if they were difficult to get I imagine I would have sold them quicker...especially at the price I had them at.

I sense a shell game here!

By far one of the most beautiful species off that continent and beyond

i just looked up with my dealer. Its one of those coincidence things. They just recieved some: 80$ CAD 1/2 inch.

i wish i had know about these before. I consider myself to have to many.

i would probably have got one of these if i knew of them.

it is ok though. I might come home from
Vacation and find one dead. Then again, i still don’t need more.

Shell game eh? I guess i dont need one of those.

dry fossorial though… sounds like a dream.

I'm honestly not sure what he meant by shell game....but if you think he was referring to a pet hole, I dont think that's the case as they've always been one of the more visible fossorials for me....much like Ceratogryus.

If its just the fact that its fossorial, that he might mean, then its a winner in the end: its a dry fossorial. Who cares if its a pet hole.

its not a moist pet hole. Thats a game changer.

Harpactira in general.

I was joking, hence the , re A. ezendami. As they are hard when tiny slings because they eat rarely. It’s only when they get a bit larger that all is fine- at least that’s what you told me. Remember mine never made it. It’s very frustrating hah. Trust me I wish mine was larger for all the reasons you mentioned earlier.

I don’t have trouble with my two junodi slings or even my very new pair of breyeri slings, literally had a breyeri sling maul a pinhead it’s own size seconds after the feeder hit the substrate today.

I agree with the M Balfouri recommendation. Mine is beautiful, my second fave tarantula after my T Albo. I love the attitude of mine too I would happily ONLY raise M Balfouris now on

thanks for clarification...I did not remember that yours didnt make it. That stinks.

No problem, yeah it’s a gorgeous species!

Once again, they all survived. Been away for days and came home: everyone is thriving. My two P murinus have even expanded their web tunnels to fit their new girth.

guess i won’t be getting this new tarantula. Even though i am liking the idea of dry fossorial.

delicate slings, not so much though. Especialy at 80$ CAD 1/2”.
