Arachnoholics Unite

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 · 01-12-16, 07:12 PM

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.

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

prairiepanda · 01-12-16, 08:35 PM

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

eminart · 01-13-16, 08:24 AM

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.

A. metallica

B. albopilosum

G. pulchra

I just have one - a ghost ornamental. I've also had an Indian Ornamental and a Gooty Sapphire in the past, but no plans to get anything else right now.
