Ornithoctoninae sp. "hati hati" VERSUS Harpactira pulchripes - Which to get

[Venom1080]

She's very pretty. There's just something attractive about that group So velvety and leggy and the carapace looks epic!

Asians are the best. Never kept an Asian I didn't like.

But I'm already Asian. I think keeping more Asians would be redundant noh? There are also nosy Asians (5 pieces in total) at home LOL.

Nope. Still fun to keep.

but also considering to get an OBT instead. OBT's are a classic thats for sure

I've never been all that impressed with them. I'm sure at some point I'll pick one up just to check another baboon off the list but I'm in no hurry for one and I think there are a lot better baboons out there.

 

[Trenor]

I'll actually buy juve confirmed females. lol. 100 or 200 or 300 dollar price difference is nothing compared to waiting for 2 or so years for the slings to grow up lol xD (Im impatient, lazy and ambitious).

My H.pluchripes males matured in right at a year. Not that long to wait, though if you can afford juvies of the more expensive Ts and want to buy them go for it. I sold off enough MMs this year to pay for all the slings I bought so far. Several species I have multiple females and might one day sale off the extras I don't need. I rarely buy less than 3 of something though.

 

[Andrea82]

Is it a typical trait of the specie or could it be that your pet there is just the black sheep in a white flock?

I have no idea. This species wasn't on my 'to get'-list for a long time, if ever, being an Asian sniper, but aside for some heartrates going up when the darn thing pops out like a jack-in-the-box to get its food I must say I quite enjoy keeping it so far. It makes nice webcastles as well so even when it stays in its burrow I have something nice to look at.

 

[Grimmdreadly]

I think these two are very nice-looking OW's. Coloration is velvety, milky, creamy, or rich as opposed to "iridescent". I'm so confused what to get.

Quick question:

1. I can't seem to find info as to max size for female of H. pulchripes
2. Between the two, which would you prefer?

And no, I don't handle spiders, even slings.

I'd purchase the Hati Hati this payday....and then the H.pulchripes the next payday. But everyone knows, when it comes to tarantulas, my response generally is "why can't we have both?"

 

[Grimmdreadly]

Are there any Asians (aside from Poecilotheria) that is not either a hole or a bark? lol

Have you seen the price of real estate in a lot of Asian countries, I'd dig a hole, too. But yeah there aren't any.

You need one my man. Absolutely, you need a Prophet and, then, the Goddess*

For that no liturgy is completed without both

the Goddess

I might have a Goddess depending on the sex of the freebie sling I got.

[efmp1987]

Hey guys! How about $225.00 for a 3"+ female M. balfouri + 1 inch male (assumed male). xD Is this price fair? I'm very greedy.

I don't know... maybe probably for the U.S standards is a fair one. Not here in Europe, definitely :-s

Offered to me a M.balfouri breeding pair for (change) $62 + or -

Heresy!

The Goddess* is never disappointed due to my actions: for that She guide my verb, since She granted me the gift of the 'Extreme Wisdom'

But since She also promote to be magnanimous, I forgive you, I forgive you

You seem a good man

For us in the states, that's a fair price
