Oh, thank you for the tipG. pulchripes or C. marshalli would be perfect for you
...I already have an immanis and an iheringi. What do you know about T. sp. blue? I saw some slings for sale. How big do they get? I think I have heard they get a bit bigger.
Aside from rare locality Avics, like sp Kwitara River, also huriana are hard to find these past few years over here.Well, the Summer Hamm expo is still 5 weeks away but a person needs to plan ahead, right? If everything goes as planned I'll be selling half a dozen MMs and that will free up space that needs to be filled... So, what would you recommend? It should be a somewhat rarer species because if it's common in the hobby chances are I either have it or I don't want it.
My specifications are:
1. Not brown. I dislike brown and that goes for spiders, too.
2. Medium size (around 5" end size, +/- 1"). A little smaller is ok, but nothing bigger. My XXL enclosures are all taken and I don't have space for more. Maybe one larger arboreal would fit, though...
3. NW or OW, terrestrial or arboreal is all good, but NO fossorial.
4. Visible at least sometimes, I don't want certified pet holes or pet webs.
5. Price: Nothing exorbitantly expensive, meaning all the 'holy grail' species are out.
6. No horns. Absolutely no horns.
What I'm considering so far:
1. Another Tapi, preferably sp. carribean diamond, but others are fine, too. I love Tapis.
2. Coremiocnemis hoggi - does anyone have information about those???
3. Perhaps a Chilobrachys - I only have one freebie C. fimbriatus sling. Are these worth it? And if so, which one?
4. Perhaps a Thrixopelma? I can get T. cajamarca slings - are they worth it? How fast do they grow?
5. Perhaps I'll get a H mac after all to fill my last arboreal enclosure. Will I ever see it??
6. Anything I missed?
Please help!
I got 7 T. cyaneolum (1 AF and what's left of her offspring) already and I have N.incei. I don't think I want another very similar one. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for both the Avics, though.Aside from rare locality Avics, like sp Kwitara River, also huriana are hard to find these past few years over here.
I will post 2 pics of 2 NW species I own for what you should get. Both are much more rare in the USA, than EU.
, but aside from looks they are very similar. They aren't easy to breed however like incei. If you find one, get it.
I wouldn't call those two spiders rare Theraphosidae at all. Maybe they don't get the credit they deserve, but rare?
im in Wisconsin....i have zero idea whats rare in Germany...here coloratovillsus arent as common, neither is cabocla....considering she specifically didnt want something crazy expensive....super rare is pretty much off the board.
They're a terrestrial/semi arboreal species from Africa. I think they get about 2", 2.5" dls.
I'd loved (back then) to go to Hamm (Expo): sort of 'paradise', my man
I love this specie, only cons is the size, too little for my standards :-/
They look very similar to Grammostola pulchra.
Already got one - as I said I'm pretty much set when it comes to Brachys.
No on the first, yes on the second. Not sure if I want the cabocla, I'm not that impressed with the colors. I prefer patterns to color blocking.
Yay!! I'll have to look into that one, definitely a possibility!
Bit small for my taste. I do like the coloring, though.
They are not dwarfs Chris they reach 5"
Yep. I keep telling myself next time I won't go but then I still go again... and again. 500 vendors, about a quarter of them sell only spiders... Downside is you need a lot of self control squeezing yourself from table to table to withstand the urge to buy any interesting tarantula in sight :wideyed:.I'd loved (back then) to go to Hamm (Expo): sort of 'paradise', my man
But not dat (0.1 talking) Hysterocrates spp. / Goddess* / etc size I need for thrive, nurtured by the delicate sound of burrows
I was tempted to suggest Orphnaecus as they are very velvety looking but there is a reason why my O.sp Blue is called Pluto...I only see her in the middle of the night if I'm super quiet. Though I'm always chuffed whenever I do get to see her, even though she is mostly brown, there are a lot of red, gold and steely blue highlights to admire. Or you can go with the Tang coated O.philippinus.
