The pachistopelma and E. pachypus are ones that I've been trying to find for a LONG time now, but I don't think I've seen them anywhere since I've been in the hobby. If I saw either of those I'd snap them up! Super cool species.
Saw a 0.1 P. rufonigrum for sale a few months back for a rather exorbitant sum IMO. There were almost some P. bromeliacola produced in the states this year as well. Would have loved to grab a few slings.
Compared to the $400 they cost for a 3/4" sling when they first entered the hobby, the $75 - $100 is reasonable in comparison.
They've certainly gone down in price since I started. I've noticed the price for P. victorii starting to go down too...I'm going to snag a few slings eventually once they get cheaper over time. I also remember multiple people telling me how expensive H. pulchripes used to be at one point.
Oh ya
I wouldn't consider them rare by any means, just uncommon. A few of the larger vendors have them for sale more often then naught. When you're in the market for one, let me know and I can probably point you in the right direction.
That's really kind, I will absolutely hunt you down when the time comes. Thank you!
Don’t forget option 3!...When you find yourself having more free T’s thrown your way right and left. You are the free T poster child if I ever heard of one.I'll get whatever I find that is on my list that strikes me as a good deal, or if I find anything weird and interesting that becomes available.
I really shouldn't get any more tho
Just received a P. Irminia as my first arboreal T! (1 week after getting my very first T.
) So far so good just gotta be careful with it! Its currently 2".
That is how I ended up with 7 Kochiana brunnipes and 5 T albos. STOP CURSING ME, CRAIG!
Nice. Mine is 2.5” and pretty reclusive. So far a total sweetheart and growing like a weed.Just received a P. Irminia as my first arboreal T! (1 week after getting my very first T.
