Who has one? What are they like? They’re gorgeous and I’d like one eventually, but finding info on them is pretty rough lol.

 

[Chris LXXIX]

From what I know about they are basically your average Asian pet hole, just way more pricey than the regular others of that T's league. They are (somewhat) priced here in Europe, so God forbid in the U.S, where T's prices are always higher than here.

Medium size T's. Personally I'd buy a stock of different "Haplos" species for that money but just me.

Yeah there’s a seller in classifieds selling them and it’s got the “ooh lala” price tag, just wondering about it’s husbandry and care stories more or less.

I'm fairly certain it's the usual Asian pet hole care: Inches of moist substrate, good ventilation, a couple of fake leaves and a piece of cork bark. Done.

Fair enough. I wonder how often most peoples’ come out and if the price is worth the time they are out. They really are gorgeous T’s.

I also want a C. Valhalla for no other reason than Valhalla being in the name lol.

Just to let you know those pictures you are heavily saturated. I have seen unaltered photos and they are not that bright.

I figured they were. Seems to be that way with a lot of really colorful species. Still it’s very unique.

Oh yeah, don’t get me wrong they are beautiful and colorful and I would love to have one.

Worth it— to me - never, no T is worth hundreds of dollars. For you- only you know.

H pulchripes was 400$- still haven’t bought one.

Whats stopping you now? This species is so colorful and at around 1 inch the look good.

Yea but don’t they lose their color when they’re full grown? Like the blue fades into like a dull color almost gray?

I've said this before (way before) and I continue to say this now: H. pulchripes was one of the best, biggest, T's market scam I have witnessed. Who will pay hundreds of bucks for a normal P. murinus, the classic 'OBT'? No one. And why? Simple, there's a reason if those are cheap. Easyness of breeding, first. This leads to a strong "chain" of availability, everywhere. Rinse and repeat = End of the game.

So I fail to realize why still today H. pulchripes are still on the "pricey" side when facts tells that said species is quite easy to breed just like a P. murinus.

It's not for the money, it's a matter (for me) to not being cheated

 

[Tarantuland]

Man @EnigmaNyx I wanna see your collection in a year from now

C. sp Valhalla are gorgeous beyond the name. O Hon-sej are beautiful, but I'll probably get a hati-hati first. Gorgeous, affordable, and there's plenty of info on them

Still thinking about it. I usually don’t pay more than 10-35$ for a sling

I will wait until the next show and get one @ a deal from my boss. I agree, not going to pay $100 plus for a sling

Form groups, no problem via the Internet!
The dealer wanted just under € 100 for a Birupes sling. I quickly found 9 other interested parties and now we've paid 55 € for one sling each. Still expensive, but a big difference!
