Arachnoholics Unite

[havoc_vulture]

Well I have succumb to the arachnids. Now in possession of
1 G. Pulchra Female (Brazilian Black Turantula)
1 P. Metallica unsexed sling (Gooty Sapphire Ornamental)
1 A. Purpurea unsexed sling (Purple Pink Toe)
1 C. Cyaneopubescens unsexed sling (Green Bottle Blue)

I am now looking for a
1 A. Versicolor (Antilles Pinktoe)
1 A. SP "Ecuador"

I'm think that's it for now......

Whose next, what do you guys have and what do you plan to get

[psychocircus]

G rosea, T stirmi, A geniculata, G pulchripes, B smithi, H pumpkin patch large, P striata, C Cyaneopubescens, L parahybana.

Repticon comes here in two weeks, so I'm sure I'll pick up a tarantula. Nothing set in stone, but I would like some more pokies, an OBT to replace the one I lost, various brachys. Who knows.

[Minkness]

You guys are doing it wrong....where are thebpics?!?

[prairiepanda]

I currently own, in alphabetical order:
1.0.0 Brachypelma albopilosum
0.1.0 Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
0.1.0 Cyriocosmus elegans
0.1.0 Euathlus parvulus
0.1.0 Euathlus sp. unknown
1.0.0 Euathlus sp. "yellow"
0.1.0 Eupalaestrus campestratus
0.1.1 Grammastola rosea
0.0.10 Holothele incei (communal)
0.0.1 Vitallius paranaensis

That's 20 total, and I have no plans to acquire more in the near future.

Species I have owned in the past, in no particular order, include Lasiodora parahybana, Lasiodora klugi, Grammastola pulchra, Brachypelma smithi, Ephebopus cyanognathus, Ephebopus murinus, Pterinochilus murinus, Avicularia avicularia, Avicularia geroldi, Avicularia purpurea, Cyriocosmus ritae, Avicularia versicolor, Acanthoscurria geniculata, Euathlus sp. "red", Xenesthis immanis, Phidippus regius, Phidippus audax, Phidippus borealis, Hyllus diardi, and Pelegrina aeneola. However, I have never owned more than 20 spiders at one time; that's my personal upper limit.

At one point I had a wish list of over 50 different species, but the hands-on experience I have had with the species listed above has helped me narrow down what kinds I am really interested in keeping. There are a few I still want, and there are some I have had before which I would like to have again, but I won't exceed my 20-spider cap right now. 2 of my Ts were actually given to me by a friend who is thinking of taking them back sometime soon, so if that happens maybe I'll pick up some new slings :p

[eminart]

Mine:
Grammostola pulchra (Brazilian Black)
Poecilotheria regalis (Indian Ornamental)
Brachypelma smithi (Mexican Redknee)
Psalmopoeus irminia (Venezuelan Sun Tiger)

Daughter's:
Brachypelma albopilosum (Honduran Curly Hair)
Acanthoscurria geniculata (Brazilian Giant White Knee)
Heterometrus longimanus (Asian Forest Scorpion)

Shared:
Avicularia metallica (Metallic Pinktoe)

All are slings and juveniles 3 inches or less.

My daughter just told my wife and I that she wants spiders for her birthday in March. She's just like her old dad.

I do need to get some current photos of mine. But, most of them are small and don't have their full adult coloration yet. Here's a few old photos of some of them. These 3 are our oldest and look completely different now, after a few molts.

Maybe one day I'll own a goliath bird eater or brazillian black.

Lori might just go "NOPE!" though and all is lost.

She's not totally visible here but this is her new enclosure.I'm pretty sure its a container/plant pot that I flipped upside down to turn into an arboreal enclosure.

roaches here cost $1 each?

0.1 G. Rosea.
0.1 G. Pulchripes.
0.1 G. Pulchra
0.0.15 P. Murinus.

Still wanting a B. Smithi or Annita, not really looking for anything else, the murinus were a gift from a friend, not even sure if i'm keeping any of them but it's fun to watch them grow up (they're the size of a pinhead now):D The pulchra i picked up for free, it is in pretty bad shape (Hasn't eaten in 8 months, losing weight) trying to get it back up there as the owner gave up.

That is a lot of OBT's! They are fun to watch grow, but can be a handful lol

[Tsubaki]

Oh definitely, my friend wants a few more females and he also kept 15 of them.. So 30 in total to find a nice couple of holdbacks from :D

[Arachnaeoccult]

Hard to have enough arachnid babies when crickets are a dollar a dozen.


When it comes to scorpion, whats recognized as the most pretty and novel specimen? Something I can show to another arachnid hobbiest and hear "Oh! You have one of those! I've been looking for one like that!"

[Tsubaki]

Why don't you just get what YOU like, animals are NEVER 'novelty'.. i can not appreciate a question like this in the slightest.

Ive been staying away from this thread cause i dont like spiders, but honestly, you really shouldnt be getting something just to impress people... Thats irresponsible. You get what YOU like, dont care what others think... I got a Boa cause i wanted it, not cause it impresses people. I got a Hognose cause i wanted it. you get the point.. Truth is, to most people, a snake is a snake, a spider is a spider, they cant tell the difference.. Only get what you want.
