Whats Next? (yes here's another one of those threads)

[Haksilence]

So I'm at a loss, my collection currently encompasses all the specific species ive HAD to have, and now i need your help to build my list for whats next.

currently I am accommodating:

0.0.1 3" Aconthoscurria Brocklehursti
0.1.0 3" Avicularia Avicularia
2.1.0 3.5-5" Brachypelma Boehmei
0.0.1 1.5" Brachypelma Smithi
0.0.1 1" Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens
1.1.0 5" Grammostola Sp. "Northern Gold"
0.0.1 .75" Grammostola Pulchripes
0.0.1 3" Lasiodora Parahybana
0.0.1 2.5" Poecilotheria Fasciata
0.0.1 3.5" Poecilotheria Hanumavillasamica
0.0.2 1.5" Poecilotheria Metallica
0.1.0 7" Poecilotheria Striata
0.0.4 1.5" Poecilotheria Subfusca
1.0.0 4" Pterinochilus Murinus
0.0.1 1" Xenesthis Immanis


with the recent additions of the Metallicas and the xenesthis im at a loss. Outside of the obvious of acquiring a P. Striata male, that my female desperately needs, what do you guys think for next?

ill be adding more baboons to the collection eventually since i miss having them, but there arent any species in particular that i "need" to have, so i want to hear your suggestions.


current sugestions im seriously considering:
m. balfouri (this was actually one of the few "must haves" on my list)
p. muticus (since they are so popular)
ephebopus
T. stirmi
psalmopoesus cambridgei (any other species sugestion?)
g. pulchra (this was also on my list)
Pamphobetus (i actually was looking at this genus and knew they were on my list but couldnt remember the genus and sp)

 

[jrh3]

m. balfouri is stunning looking species...also G. pulchra

 

[Chris LXXIX]

Psalmopoeus, a 'Queen' (0.1 Pelinobius muticus), all the Ephebopus you can, Megaphobema robustum, Haplopelma hainanum etc

 

[Sarkhan42]

I feel like at least 1 Theraphosa is a must have to complete a collection, as fickle as they can be to keep at times. Also psalmopoeus species are a must have.

 

[EulersK]

Here are a few staples (in my opinion) you're missing:
P. irminia
T. stirmi
A. geniculate
B. vagans
B. albopilosum
Hapalopus sp. "Columbia"

As a completely unrelated sidenote, taxonomic names have the form "Genus species". That is, the first name is capitalized and the second is not.

 

[Illyanaknight]

G. pulchra

I second this!!

 

[BobBarley]

H. incei or M. balfouri!

 

[tuko]

A trapdoor for me. It's a great excuse since i'm just adding "an enclosure"

 

[cold blood]

More avics

Get a damn Pamph already!!!!!

I'll second P. muticus as well.

And keep me in mind when your male avic avic matures

 

[bryverine]

I love M. robustum they're awesome to have. You need to have a queen, they're gorgeous!

I'd get these if I had more experience/money:
Chilobrachys fimbriatus
Cyriopagopus schioedtei
Harpactira pulchripes

 

[Haksilence]

Get a damn Pamph already!!!!!

pamph?

 

[Haksilence]

And keep me in mind when your male avic avic matures

my avic is female "0.1.0"

 

[BobBarley]

pamph?

Pamphobeteus sp. quite pretty.

 

[cold blood]

pamph?

Yes, a member of the genus Pamphobetus. Seriously, they are all great.

Come to think of it you need a P. cambridgei as well, like bad.

my avic is female "0.1.0"

Sorry at a glance I mis read it.

 

[Haksilence]

More avics

overall i havent been too fond of avics, some are definitely on my list, albeit very low on the list. what specific species would you suggest?

 

[Scott C.]

Looks like a fine collection to me, and if you're planning on breeding, I'd just stick with it until I dealt with some sacs first.... Plus the baboons, of course.

If you're pokemon'n though, megaphobema robustum is a fav.

Little of both, I have a b. Boehmei and g. SP "northern gold" breeding project going on currently.
Waiting for my male boehmeis to mature is nauseating. And trying to get my male northern gold to grow some balls is also frustrating, he basically drumms and as soon as she drums back he runs like hell and DOESNT STOP. If my door was open he'd have been gone.

So with those going painstakingly slow I'll still be expanding my collection in other ways, via new genus and species

 

[Scott C.]

Get it, yo.

Just figured I'd chime in, in case you were close to multiplying your collection by 8+

Those pamphs folks are talkin about are nice too.

 

[Vezon]

Ceratogyrus sp.



And what's everyones obsession with P. muticus and T. blondi/stirmi? Do people just really like big brown generic spiders or something?

My Princess is not just a generic spider!
I love the velvety rusty brown colors and the hissing is just awesome. They really are a beautiful spider; especially for those who aren't interested in just getting those 'generic blue spiders'.
