So, I've been eyeballing certain species (groups of species) to pick up at the next expo in September, but I'd love some input! I'm picking up a bunch of species, and though these are ultimately specimens that will end up as my pets, they will first be contributing to a study I'm doing this coming year, so I really don't need more than one species of any particular genus - rather, I would prefer to obtain species from different genera in order to have a more diverse sample group.
If you click on my profile you can see what I already have, but I'm looking to get an Ephebopus species (I'm deciding between murinus and cyanognathus), an Acanthoscurria geniculata, Aguacephalus (probably ezendami, but could be junodi), Chilobrachys fimbriatus, Haplopelma lividum, Harpactira (either curator, curvipes, or dictator), Lampropelma violaceopes, Tapinauchenius (cupreus or violaceus), and Thrixopelma (cyaneolum or ockerti).
If anyone can offer any insight into which species they prefer and why, within the genera I'm choosing, I'd be especially grateful! I'd really appreciate any info relating particularly to genus Ephebopus and Harpactira, but any help with picking a Tapinauchenius or Thrixopelma species would also be awesome! I'm interested in anything you all can tell me, including if species differ in size, temperament, sexual dimorphism, etc. Or if there's anything I haven't thought of that you think I should know/want to include.
Thanks all!
