New additions

[Slimdean]

So I decided to changed it up. Instead of ordering my usual dwarves, I got b.klassi and emila..... I thought they were defective spiders cause they didn't run for dear life as soon as I opened the container like my other spiders . They just peeked out, climbed on my finger and into their new homes. I'm not used to this kinda behavior, but I'll manage

Nice additions. Not really familiar with klassi, but emilia is on my wish list. Are you sure you can handle the speed? :laugh:

 

[Slimdean]

Lol they so fast.....to not move unless needed hahaaa

 

[cold blood]

Oooooh, B. klassi, very nice addition...possibly the most beautiful of all Brachys (IMO)....emelia ain't bad either

 

[Slimdean]

Yea I wanted a brachy with the red rump and golden carapace (name escapes me) but it was sold out so I got the b.emila. I'm happy with both so far. B. Shroederi is next on the list..... Which went on sale for 50%off ($39) the day after I ordered lol grrrr

I think B emilia is the prettiest of all brachis. I am partial, since I have one.
She doesn't do much except sit there. But I have seen her ping pong moved, so I guess she does a walk-about during the night.

Oh, the lies we tell ourselves....

I won't burst your bubble.

But B emilia is the bestest.

A couple of great additions you got there i have 8 brachys including the Emilia and schroederi you mentioned but sadly the klaasi isn't 1 that I keep yet.

Yes, nice additions. Don't have a klassi either, but my emilia, Maggie, was one of my first. Very docile, and easily handled when the need arises (she'd stay on my hand for hours if I let her). Slow growing, but extremely long lived, you'll have to put it in your will. :laugh:

Good luck.

B auratum was the last Brachypelma I bought and it's just starting to show adult colouring

 

[Ellenantula]

Just used google-images to view some B auratum pix -- they are lovely! Not sure if all the pix were post-moult or not -- but those colours really popped!

They really do pop I would go as far as to say they are the most vivid of my 8 brachys, but my 2 x annitha and my smithi are showing markings but sadly no colouration yet

 

[Ellenantula]

Well, I had my heart set on classic B smithi - the decided B emilia was prettiest. Now B auratum may also trump my getting a B smithi. (sigh) I like them ALL!

I did the exact same thing when I decided to get back in the hobby I wanted 3 tarantulas to start with G pulchra (female) Gbb (female) and a B smithi I changed the smithi for an Emilia after I saw a beautiful adult and it took me over a year to finally get a smithi and now I have 2x annitha, B albopilosum Emilia, schroederi,auratum, smithi and a beautiful underrated B verdezi that's full of character

 

[gobey]

B. emilia is the only Brachy I really want. I had 5 B. albopilosums at one point. Now I'm down to a reasonable 2. But cool as they are. They're just not what you imagine a Brachy to be.

That dark triangle on the Emilia is what gets me
I love it.

I picked up a B. smithi sling. Little bugger is barely a half inch. I can't wait for it to grow. But I know it'll be a loonnnnggg wait.

Brachys are my all time favorite. Like dogs of the t world for the most part. Really the only species I keep, besides g. porteri. Really hard for me to chose favorite but my top 3 would be baumgarteni, klaasi and, annitha. Cant wait for my slings go into the juvie stage. Long lived thats forsure.

 

[Chris LXXIX]

Brachypelma vagans for life. They have a somewhat attitude for being "Brachys".
