There are some Pachistopelma bromelicola females for sale which are really pretty, part of me wants to buy one but I have taken a vow to avoid impulse purchases. Which is actually really hard.

I try to keep my wishlist down to my soon to buy list since there's so many great T that I want and don't want to be reminded that I can't have them(yet), but there's a couple that got on the to buy list or I only bought one sling and lost it and then they weren't available anymore when I was in a position to buy them so despite my best effort, I still managed to have one.

My current to buy list(only 10 more days to wait):
Encyocratella olivacea
Stromatopelmas calceatum
Poecilotheria metallica
Idiothele mira
Lampropelma violaceopes
Pterinochilus murinus tan

And my current wishlist:
Cyriopagopus schioedtei
Avicularia laeta

 

[fuzzyavics72]

This might be a surprise to everyone, but I want more Avicularia lol and some black morph P. mets. My Avicularia list is too big to post. Unfortunately, most of my Avicularia I want we can't get here in the US.

 

[Poec54]

Cyriopagopus sumatran tiger
Haplopelma schmidti gcf
Pseudnocnemis brachyramosa
Coremiocnemis hoggi
Harpactira pulchripes
Ornithotoncus costalis

There are some Pachistopelma bromelicola females for sale...

Now here's a man with exceptional taste.

---------- Post added 03-12-2015 at 10:52 AM ----------

Someday I'd like to have every Aphonopelma that occurs in the US.

After the revision is completed, there may be around three dozen legit species, many of which will look very similar. Most of my collection is tropical, arboreal, and/or OW. but I still have a place in my heart for US Aphonopelma. I think I'm fascinated that tarantulas actually live in our country, and some of them are very attractive. I have chalcodes now (what a pretty spider!) and would like several more species.

When I got my first tarantulas in the early 1970's, they were Brachypelma and Aphonopelma for the first couple years (that's all I could get then). While I desperately wanted tropicals (and soon got some), I can see a certain nostalgic appeal in a collection of hardy, calm, slow-growing species (aka 'the Stan Schultz approach'). Life was simpler then. Much easier to work with them, than a lot of the lunatics I have now. You don't have to worry about Aphonopelma racing out of their cages and across the floor or up the wall. I never once had to take off my shirt because an Aphonopelma ran inside it. But then I look at a P regalis and snap out of it, and come back to my senses. There's just too many great tropicals for me to pass up.

 

[jiacovazzi]

I have been looking for L. nigerrimum, B. annitha. I do love Aphonopelma and Brachypelma though. I can't say there's a T that I wouldn't enjoy keeping.

 

[azroc909]

P.S. Iridopelma seladonium = Typhochlaena seladonia

Thank you, wow i did not know that ,ok thanks that's good to know.

lol. For me it's not even steak but J in the box 2 for 1 tacos lmbo! One day ill own at least one on my list

 

[Angel Minkov]

Poecilotheria formosa/miranda
X. imannis/intermedia
P. sp platyomma
Cyriopagopus sp. "hati hati"/schiedtei
T. blondi/apophysis
Pterinopelma sazimai
E. murinus (maybe)

This might be a surprise to everyone, but I want more Avicularia lol and some black morph P. mets. My Avicularia list is too big to post. Unfortunately, most of my Avicularia I want we can't get here in the US.

From what i know, there is no such thing as a "black morph" P. metallica. Old female specimens lose their vibrant blues and appear darker almost black.

Right, but there is a blue/grey form. Also a whitish form of formosa, a blackish form of striata, etc.

 

[fuzzyavics72]

I've seen you p mets black and bright purple. I also noticed there's a fuzzy regalis morph and purple morph ornata. I'm ONLY going by what I've been told. I also know P mets black with age.

 

[Ellenantula]

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.

I don't understand the sp red, blue, green.
Is this going to end up like the G rosea vs G porteri?
Can they all come from one egg sac or are they different species?

 

[truecreature]

This is my complete tarantula to-do list, as far as I know, but I've been very thorough about looking through what's available for sale. I'm trying to keep it short because whenever I move out of this apartment there are a lot of reptiles and some other inverts I'd like to get, and I don't want to be totally overwhelmed.

Terrestrial:
Aphonopelma chalcodes
Brachypelma albiceps
Hapalopus sp. colombia
Acanthoscurria geniculata
Cyriocosmus perezmilesi / ritae / elegans (maybe all, dwarves don't take up much space)
Megaphobema robustum
Oligoxystre diamantinensis
Cyclosternum fasciatum (maybe)
Euathlus sp. 'Red'
Nhandu Tripepii
Ceratogyrus marshalli
Monocentropus balfouri

Arboreal:
Avicularia versicolor
Tapinauchenius violaceus or gigas
Psalmopoeus cambridgei
Psalmopoeus pulcher
Poecilotheria metallica

Doubtful since they're not labeled as color forms like the rosea, but different species so it's already not the same. I don't know anything about them though, I'm just going by the way they're named.

Thank you. You know how when you hear a word for the first time, it seems like everywhere you go suddenly it's a popular word you're suddenly hearing everywhere ....
well, that how the Euathlus sp is for me. I am seeing them on the boards, for sell, in mentions and comments.
I wondered since they seem to have so many colors listed if it was all the same species or not, just with color variations.

Love learning new stuff. I am old but willing to be adopted by someone rich who will let me be a professional student. lol

It is pretty crazy how fast the hobby can become addictive, doesn't take long to go from wanting one spider to having a huge wishlist.

Now here's a man with exceptional taste.

Haha thanks Poec, that means a lot coming from one as experienced as you are.

This is the golden age of tarantula collecting. There are hundreds of species in the hobby now, beautiful ones for every taste and skill level. Used to be you could own all of the ones in captivity in your country. That ship has sailed a long time ago. It's especially nice to see collectors going for the lesser known species (hopefully with the goal of breeding them). The ones you listed should be much more commonly seen.

 

[Sarin]

P. Regalis is probably next on my list. I miss the guy I had! But he left to do his thing
