image.jpg image.jpg Hi everybody!
After 2 years of being spiderless (*sad face*) I'm back at it! Got myself a few slings and I don't plan on stopping. Currently a proud care taker of a female p regalis and an unsexed p Metallica, p cambridgei and m balfouri. I can't wait for them to mature but until then what should I get next?

Hapalopus so. Colombia Large! Grammostola Pulchra, Heteroscodra Maculata, Psalmopoeus Irminia, Tapinauchenius Gigas, Lasiodora Parahybana or Klugi.....sooooo many!

Lasiodora Parahybana or Klugi.
I personally like difficilis the best of the Lasiodora group.

But get a N. chromatus or an A. genic...then go for a Pamphobeteus sp., doesn't matter which, they are all AWESOME.

Also get some avics, like a versicolor.

Honestly , There is probably not any T species I dislike. I just dont keep any pet holes except baboons/P irimina is a pet web.

P irimina is a pet web, I see her every day :biggrin: Stunning~~!

That regalis seems a bit small to sex accurately through exuviae. Are you sure its a female? Congrats on the acquisitions though.

I haven't been very active in The T world for two years either. I just haven't bought any new additions, if I could suggest some Ts it would be a versicolor or a geniculata, the avic for their stunning colours and a genic for the raw feeding capabilities and size.

Can't argue with you over Ladiodoras but I would have recommended A Geniculata over them had my girl not decided she only wants crickets recently. So much for that food response....anyway, please for the love of god get Hapalopus so. Colombia Large...maybe a handful of them. Awesome colors, awesome hunters! If you want a large species, I want some Pamphobeteus myself but would be tempted to go the route of Phormictopus Cancerides in lieu of Pamphos.

You definitely should... They shouldnt be that hard to find in Germany. Was a pain in the ass for me. Had to look for several years.

I always like raising baby pokies, but occasionally lose a few :(*. My P metallica died of DKS, dono why . I am very sad over it and avoid slings over $50 now, I was too poor to afford this.
I have to get a female of these. Maybe next year - love their contrast!

Yeah, they're easy to get. Slings go for 10-12 bucks but I simply got unlucky when my last one turned into a MM within a year :)
