Hi Mike! welcome to the boards!
Unfortunately, to get a wholesale list you'll need a Tax ID #, But regardless, there are deals to be had. You said your looking for another Gigas. Would that be Hysterocretes Gigas, or Tapinacheus Gigas? Two very different spiders. What species are you looking for pairs of? Are you looking for mature pairs or are juvemiles ok?

If I were you, I would start with OBTs. They're about as easy as it gets. Boehmei aren't exactly hard to breed, but they take more steps, including a cooldown period. My advice to you; raise up your OBT and start with them. See how it is to deal with 100+slings and then go from there, no reason to start with multiple projects.
