I'd say if you are looking for fuzzies, of the three that you have on your list, the A. hurriana will be your best bet. But also, you can't have an Avic collection without an A. versicolor. No doubt that the avics are awesome, good luck on your collecting:)
All I have avic wise is a geroldi. But I'm excited to have more, and to contribute to T conservation by breeding. :)

The cyaneopubescens are not that defensive, mine is pretty mellow, I would call her more skittish, as she will run for her web when you open the lid to feed. The parahybana is also an awesome choice, mine is over 9" and she is a great T, always in the open and visible, not skittish in the least, and fairly mellow, I have never seen her throw a threat posture yet.

Nice list of T's. You should get some slings. A lot of the species you listed are very inexpensive slings. Maybe you could even find someone on the board who sells a few of what you want so you could get them shipped together. i love watching my slings grow.

Its funny Felan,
About a year ago I had only one T.. and then got another, both were Rosies..
One was an ultimate male and I didn't know it. He lived a long time for a MM.
I now have quite a few of the T's on your wish list. But have now dipped into the more uncommon types and have one or two rarer species.
Congrats.. and as they like to say on the boards.

Oh wow only one T, well then that list will surely grow as time progressess! Trust me, the addiction has started.
Yeah...it will get you. I started with one about 2 months ago, and will have 12 in a week. I have six now, and 3 more today, 3 on the way in a week.

Yes, I'm addicted...lol

Hey, I got my first T., a G. Rosea, 2 months ago and now I have an A. versicolor, B. Smithii, B. albopilosum, and an A. seemani. The hobby is so freaking addictive. My remaining wishlist is as large as yours, and my wife thinks I've completely lost my mind.

I love it!

This is an extremely addictive hobby. I also started out about 2 months ago. I stated with

C Crawashayi sling
Hyster... Sp Sling
2 week old N Chromatus (freebie)
Then after 2 or 3 weeks picked up my G Rosea RCF adult female
Another 2 weeks : L parahybana Juvi & A Amazonica sling.

I will hopefully be getting the following tomorrow :
G Pulchra
P Regalis x 2
G Aureostriata x 2

I will now be concentrating all my energy into getting an M Balfouri. It HAS to be the most beautiful T I have ever seen.

And I still have a good few on wishlist that are waiting for me to get some more money.
