Hey Chris and Mike, wow very nice collections ya got and i do say very impressive to.... Now arent they very addicting..LOL!!!!!! I just love my T's.. Mike how do you like your G.Pulchra??? Thats one of my fav's..

[MoreliaMike]

Hey BW69,
The brazil black is about 3" and a very nervous little guy. I bought it for my girlfriend. She just doesn't know yet. I'm trying to pull her into the invert world. I'm going to raise it up, then it's hers. My favorite spider of my collection is really the P.cancerides.

[Blackwidow69]

Hey Mike what is your P. cancerides classified as ive seen them here under some of the dealers as either Haitian Brown, or Red Island Birdeater?? But a very good choice ya have there none the less.. brazilian blacks should not be skittish at all..

[MoreliaMike]

BW69,
The brazil black is still a little guy. No biting, just nervous. The P.cancerides is usually sold as haitian birdeater. It's a misnomer because they occur on both sides of Hispanola (Haiti and Dominican Republic). This is why I don't like common names. Dealers tend to change names just to move animals.

The G.Pulchra seem to always be nervous until they hit the 3-4 inch mark. Your will probably settle down soon and become the relaxed buddy spider that we all know them as

Individual results vary though hehe

[reptilesalonica]

Right now i have 30 herps. Among them just one invert, a semi adult mexican red rump (Brachypelma vagans), but i want to get more T's. I like them a lot! Generaly i like colorful T's such: Haplopelma lividum, Avicularia versicolor, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, Theraphosa blondi etc.

[nuno]

I have 0.0.1 Skeleten tarantula and 0.0.1 Green bottle blue

I want a versicolor

[Sunrunner]

I have a brand new Pink Toe (I thought that was good till I read your lists )

[OttawaChris]

Wel all have to start somewhere watch out though... they are addictive! Before ya know it you will have a collection of 20+

[AstroZombie]

A. avicularia
A. moderatum
B. smithi
B. emilia
B. albopilosa
G. rosea
H. lividum
L. cristata
L. parahybana


Hopefully my next T will be a Brazilian Black and White (B. colloratvillosum). Anyone know Canadian pricing on this one?

[OttawaChris]

Depends which size you want... back in tha fall when I was selling 1 inchers used to sell around 48 bucks... 2 inchers were 72 and large females were selling at 180 (these are all Canadian prices)

These will probably be a little cheaper now that the dollar is stronger and it is springtime.

You would probably love an A. Geniculata? I think they are a lot more spider for the buck.

[AstroZombie]

I was quoted $150 CDN for an adult female, just wondering if it was a fair price.
A. geniculata is definately on my "want list", but they are more readily available ( at least from my observations) than the Brazilian B&W and was just considering jumping on the chance to aquire one while it was locally (yay, no shipping) available.

Thanks Chris

They have actually now been moved into the genus nhandu instead of brazillopelma... keep that in mind too if you are shopping around.
