What's on your wish list?

[DeanK]

Check out Thrixopelma genus ockerti and cyaneolum come to mind as pretty T's from that genus

I love my ockerti, stupid butt in the air when it's annoyed is hilarious.

My want list is
P. metallica
C. darlingi
T. cyaneolum
B. emelia
G. iherengi
H. sp Colombia

 

[Jeff23]

Cyclosternum fasciatum now Davus fasciatus

You are right. The problem is that most of the Google and board links switch over to the old name so I copied and pasted from the wrong one. I have several Davus Penalores and am happy with them.

I was only at two Ts when my boyfriend finally decided to stop trying to negotiate a tarantula limit. That was a few months ago and I'm now at four--I'm trying to go a little slow and not freak him out too much. I have:

0.1 G. porteri
0.0.1 G. pulchripes
0.0.1 LP
0.1 B. vagans

On my (short) list:
Euathlus sp. red
A. chalcodes (or hentzi--I'm from MO so it would be cool to have something native to my home state)
N. chromatus
GBB
E. parvulus
M. robostrum
B. albopilosum

You can tell I'm into NW terrestrials. On that note, if there are any you think are underrated, I'd love to hear your suggestions! (Thanks @magicmed for the N. chromatus suggestion awhile back!)

Of your wish list I have Euathlus Sp. Red, GBB, and M Robostrum. All three are nice choices and different from each other on their activity. Tell your boyfriend that T's need to be owned in multiples of seven.

Ha, I should. I don't know why he's so hesitant about the Ts--he's an entomologist, for crying out loud. He should be all over the idea of more arthropods.

Sorry to hear you are struggling. I can relate on the time involved. I probably got too many slings myself, but I do know it will get a lot easier once they reach juvenile state. I have got all of my T's set up with deep water dishes now to help me out on watering. But it doesn't fix the problem where some of them use it as a bolus toilet or bulldozer landfill.

Hope it gets better for you.

Heheh you got that right! Deeper dishes work ok but I have a fan on constantly to prevent mould and mites with my more tropical species so they dry out quickly. It is a pain but I still love them all, though its time for most to get sold

I think that's everybody and my current wishlist is completely empty

 

[Red Eunice]

Short "wishlist": S. hoffmanni.
That is all I'm missing of the horned species currently available in the hobby.

 

[DeanK]

I read somewhere recently (sorry--I can't remember where, but not on Arachnoboards) that Thrixopelma is arboreal. Thoughts?

I think the ockerti is the only member of the genus with arboreal leanings, I've read that this is because the region where they live is prone to flooding in the rainy season and they go up to avoid the water. Mine spends most of it's time on the floor

 

[WeightedAbyss75]

Right now, I would love to get a P. rufilata. What is not to love about a green and red beast of an arboreal that can teleport

[sdsnybny]

More female molts than the males ;(
@Marijan2
Also there has never been Davus fasciatus in the hobby all are now Davus pentaloris. Davus fasciatus has black carapace and looks smaller than pentaloris
Check recent paper by Ray Gabriel

 

[Redneck]

Seeing everyone's current list and wish list...it makes me really miss my old collection.

The only reason I am limiting my current collection is I am limited on space and time. More limit on the space than time! So I am just wanting to get the species that really catch my attention.

One day, when my wife and I can get the land and house we want, I will dedicate a room to Ts again and get back into breeding and larger collection.

 

[dopamine]

M. balfouri

Awesome, thanks for the info!

 

[AlbatrossWarrior]

I want so many T's it's ridiculous

Right now I REALLY want a few P. murinus DCF and a TCF, if I could ever find any

But by next summer I really want to have an M. balfouri, S. calceatum, H. maculata, and H. pulchripes

And if I ever had money to spend, I would get my dream T, Typhochlaena seladonia

 

[louise f]

There can be only one <3 Psalmopoeus victorii <3


For now!!!! Hahaha
