Rare Tarantulas

[cold blood]

I have a Idiothele mira surfacius.

The only way I could get mine to emerge was to introduce a MM

These are so high on my wish list.
I really hope we get some in the US soon.

They are here, just expensive and typically snapped up quick.

Bloody hell fire. Females are small. Males must be tiny.

How does the breeding come about? I'd imagine it'd be really tricky. Male goes near the trapdoor and boom.

C.sp electric blue still rare over there? They're being bred like rabbits here. Sling prices dropped from 150€ to 45€ in a few months time. Apparently they aren't hard to breed at all.

Yes they are, lowest price i've seen is $95 USD

Eupalaestrus weijenberghi
I think they are a dwarf or at least quite small.
Tarcan hasent had them for around 2 years.
I want one.

Well females are only 3, 3.5"...but bulky for their size. The MM is a shade over 2" but not bulky, so it really makes him look small.

Pairing isn't complicated...she emerges...mine didn't charge out like with food....very easy going, to the point and zero aggression. They did pair several times in a row...twice I went to remove the male and he just walked back and it happened again.

Is Pamphobeteus Insignis considered rare?
I saw one for sale once but, i know they aren't sold often but aren't sure if they're very rare or not.

They are rare. I've an MM and nobody wants it because nobody has a female . There was one sac a couple of years ago in Europe where my male is from, but the females from that sac aren't mature yet and appearently there are no other females.

That sucks. I have the same problem with my Holothele sericea.

Are these spiders rare because they are not in demand or are they difficult to breed in captivity? Seems like if these are commonly seen on "wish lists" there'd be more of an effort to breed them.

 

[Mjb30]

I rated your post "optimistic" because I'm hoping the brown speck with eight legs that currently resides in a vial on my desk will grow into one.

Ditto!

Some, like G.pulchra and E.sp Red take a lot of time to get to a decent size and maturity and therefore longer to breed with. And their country of origin can have ban on exporting the species. Others are simply new to the hobby, like C.sp electric blue. T.seladonia is tricky to keep and breed, from what I've gathered.

my rarest specimen is so rare you may not even know its name. it is the one and only specimen in my collection because i got it and was like "whats the point of getting other Ts if i already have the rarest one known to man" its name strikes fear into the hearts of peoples wallets and causes a sense of aww and wonder among T keepers. be ready to google this name because only a few have seen it in person. it is... THE BRACHYPELMA ALBOPILOSUM... did i mention that im broke and cant afford to buy anything more rare and still can barely afford to buy another T...

Incredible. How much did you pay to have it smuggled into the states? They're thought to be extinct.

I heard that the only one in the world was the holotype used to describe the species. How did you get your hands on such a rare species and why don't you have a nobel prize yet?

Jokes aside, I dunno how rare Sahydroaraneus raja is but they're pretty expensive.

Ive seen them for sale two or three times, at whopping prices. Beautiful species though!
