Yea its hard to choose either Old world or New world. Because Old world have much more potent venom and New world will flick hairs. (not all but some) If you get bit by the P. Regalis you need to take a trip to the hospital.. Muscle relaxers are a must.

I got haired in the face/mouth by a T. Blondi, was at the point where if my friend punched me in the face and knocked me out, I'da thanked him when I came to.

Im suppose to be getting up to 10 spiderlings In early September for free. If you wanted to pay for shipping id give you one or two for free also.

Blondi? If so I would be interested in a male. Gota clear it with the family but I've been heading in that direction for a while. If I get haired in the face again though I'm gona kick a baby.

Yea, also can get a few other species of spiderlings for free also, guy i know breeds for the hobby not for profit. So he has sooo man to give away. Ive gotten all mine from him for free, ive never once paid for a spider LOL.

Whats the import/inspection fee for slings? Its like 330$ for herps =/
Although I could always attempt to smuggle em, lol.

I have no clue..

That could work, there just little spiders.

I would def want a female though, males are annoying once they get breeding size and just walk around forever.
The only other downside to T. Blondi is the fact that they can have really bad molts.

nice insects! Its crazy how fast those poecies are lol I didnt believe all the hype, first day i got my P fasciata, i open the lid real calm and slow to place it and the container into the cage i had prepaired, well with in a fraction of a second, the sling runs up the wall of the container over the edge and dives off and like slow motion falls to the ground and makes a run for it, but i turned the container in my hand over and got him luckily, now over the course if 6 months or so its gone from 1/2 inch to about 6" or so and its real calm, took it out a few weeks back to clean the cage, and it was real chill, i touched it on the bum to get it moving in the directions i wanted and it slowly walked around, i didnt let it touch my bare skin becuase no one was home incase i had an unexpected bad reaction or somthing lol keep those pics coming of the regalis, Ps are my all time fav!

hahah yes they are a handful, Ive had some run in's with mine getting her into new cages. Shes very very timid, good thing though. I would love to see a picture of yours, post it on this thread if you'd like.
