Heres the deal... I have room for four... MAYBE 5 more T's before I am completley done... I am most interested in Beautiful active T's... by active I mean remain visible, eats well and roams alot(by T standards)...
I will list the potential contestants(and of course am looking for suggestions if you have any.) I will also list what I have so you can say this one is redundant because its similar to this... or maybe replace this with this...
I would like you to rate your four fave(or more if you so desire) from my list on beauty and activity level both. So have at it and help me make this damn difficult decison... oh and dont worry about cost or availability... these are the lasts so I want the best!
Thanks for rating and advising.

What I have
H.Lividum
C.Fasciatum
C.Cyaneopubescens
L.Cristata
A.Genic
C.Crawshayi
P.Irminia
A.Insubtillis

The candidates
Chaetopelma gracile Turkey purple dwarf
Cyriopagopus thorelli / schioedtei Malaysian earth tiger
Poecilotheria formosa Salem Ornamental
Grammastola aureostriata Chaco Golden Knee
Haplopelma schmidti Chinese Golden Earth Tiger
Hysterocrates gigas Cameroon red Baboon
Xenesthis immanis Comlombian lesserblack/purple bloom
Chilobrachys fimbriatus Indian Violet
pterinochilus murinus usambara Baboon
Grammastola pulchra Brazillian Black

I'd say go for the X. immanis and the Vitalius platyomma (or Pamphobeteus sp. "platyomma") they are awesome spiders, and get quite big...

Close to a train of thought I took... what would you replace one xenesthis with? If I am only getting four more EVER I need them to a little more varied ya know? And which Xenesthis do you prefer if you had to choose? I sort of like the blue morph... those are generaly males right?

if i had to choose between the 2 xenethis i would go for X. intermedia, their pretty rare (well they both are), and if i had to replace one of the xenethis with something else i would go for hmmm C. Fimbriatus or H. schmidti, lol either way if you get all those you'll have some pretty impressive stuff

I think every collection needs these 2
G.pulchra ... that jet black on a big T is awesome
A.versicolor... another show stopper

X.immanis
C.fimbriatus
Well, I don't keep either of these 2 but they a beautiful and will provide you plenty of action

The more rating the better! Thanks

This is such a friggin tough decision...

Keep em coming... right now Im leaning towards
C.thorelli
X.immanis
P formosa
C fimbriatus

also considering dumping H.livudum(mature female) for a H.schmidti

Also thinking of getting rid of L.cristata and A.insubtillis in replace of something else these were both freebies that I got from dealers... i will see what kind of personality they get after a few more molts. L.cristata is an inch and a.insubtillis is .25"...
