The Texas reptile show was in San Antonio this weekend and it was a who's who of breeders and vendors including The Deadly Tarantula Girl, Not So Creepy Critters and Captive Inverts. I was able to cross off my wishlist a 1" H. gigas and a 1" G. pulchra. Unlike other shows, there was an abundance of tarantulas available, even M. balfouri was there at quite a few tables. Next time I am definitely getting one, maybe five, who knows. Did anyone else go to this show?

 

[Ghost Dragon]

Congrats on the finds, Mariner. You'll love the pulchra, mine is very docile, and a great eater. Can't wait for her to grow into a big, solid black T.

couldn't agree more!~ My baby is SUPER sweet and has a nice slow crawl to get around~

Congrats on the new T's.

 

[Mariner1]

Thanks! Most of my Ts are slings, so I have a lot of waiting to do. One of these days I will post some decent pictures.

Hey guys
I'm just curious to find out what's on people's wishlists? Do you even have one? The main reason I'm asking is because this morning it dawned on me while checking on my tarantulas that I don't have a wishlist anymore there's just one tarantula I want Grammostola anthracina so it isn't a list. Now don't get me wrong I'm pretty sure I won't just get the 1 tarantula in the future (who can). When I came back to the hobby 2 years ago I had a list of 3 they were B smithi,Gbb and G pulchra as a starting point well that changed the smithi became an emilia but then i built a mental list of my next few t's and along the way I've picked up a couple of rescue ts. Could it be that not having a wishlist means I'm content and happy that my collection is almost complete or that I'm just waiting for another surprise tarantula to peak my interest?

 

[MrDave]

A couple Euathlus sp red slings are likely my next additions. I'm enjoying watching my slings grow and I read that these guys will do that for a very long time.

Psalmopoeus cambridgei or irminia next.

Much further down the line a Poecilotheria of some sort. The specific species here is subject to change when ever someone posts a picture of theirs.

 

[LythSalicaria]

In the near future I definitely want to get:

Avicularia purpurea
Avicularia diversipes
Avicularia versicolor
Eupalaestrus campestratus
Phormictopus cancerides
Aphonopelma seemanni
Euathlus sp. red
Some sort of Pamphobeteus species - with how much people have been singing their praises around here, I can't help but want one. :laugh: Same deal with the Euathlus sp. red.

And a few that I'm very tempted to get, though I intend to wait at least another year before I start seriously thinking about it (almost certainly longer than that for a couple of these):

Psalmopoeus irminia
Psalmopoeus langanbucheri
Ceratogyrus marshalli
Ephebopus murinus
Ephebopus rufescens
Pterinochilus lugardi
Pterinochilus chordatus

And then somewhere in the distant future, I want to add some Poecs and Lampropelma species to the collection. Whenever the day comes when I've got a room I can dedicate to my Ts and a means of making said room as escape-proof as possible.

Of course, if you take a look at my profile, my wishlist consists of just about every T there is in the hobby. LOL...

 

[gobey]

Simple ones.

Ceratogyrus darlingi and marshalli. Because I should've gotten one of each.

And B. emilia.

I will have one one day.


Years down the road I'll grab a P. metallica

 

[IHeartTs]

E olivacea
E cyanognathus
H villosella
A fracta
C leetzi
Holothele sp columbia
L nigerrimum
Cyriopagopus sp hatihati

Nothing special

 

[14pokies]

Not really... I'm actually downsizing... I'm keeping my pokies and psalmos! I haven't kept avics in years and have only kept a few species so I'm buying up a bunch of each species that is readily available but in the end I will have less Ts than I do know...

 

[louise f]

oligoxystre diamantinensis

 

[Ellenantula]

Wishlist: I think I just want something with a little more color and a LOT more active.

Nothing against the Ts I have but just would like a little more activity or something.

Rosie still randomly moves her ping pong ball around for a minor thrill (droll), but, sometimes T room checks are fairly boring.
A seemanni hasn't burrowed, bulldozed, nada. Sits in her hide and only leaves for mad dashes at feeding time.
Psalmi is in his hide or on back glass -- out of view. Too fast to witness the hunt and eats in his burrow.
G pulchripes sling was active and eating a lot but is now burrowed again, presumedly to molt. He takes his time with molts.
A Avic just sits on her web/leaf. Will eat if food if it is practically hand-delivered.

I already collect rocks and stones, sometimes my Ts just seem more like part of that collection.

Wish list right now is every single colorful and interesting/active OW I am probably not ready for. lol

You may want to get some African cichlids or discus.. Lol! Ts aren't known for being the most active critters in the world! Most OW hide a lot too!

I know. I REALLY need one. My birthday is coming up soon... hmmm...

And yes, it's not really like "I need all of these as soon as possible." but rather "I would like to acquire these before I die." Some of them are rather rare over here in the states. So quite a few will take some hunting and patience.

Also +1 -- I love my iheringi! Easy to care for, docile but a little skittish. Mine has never flicked a single hair. And that mirror patch on their bum is something you really need to see to appreciate.
