Big mistake, looking at spidershop.pl at their new stock and I've fallen for this

It's a Psalmopoeus victori and costs £105 ($134.40) so I'm going to have to start saving.

I only found it because I'd spotted he had Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus which is a much easier on the pocket price of £17.60 ( $22.40)

I havent seen either over here yet. But maybe I'm looking in the wrong places.

They are not over here yet!! Even though they show up in threads on forums overseas since 2011 and formerly described in 2014. to make matters worse they are the first arboreal tarantula described from Mexico......so damn close but not here ugghhh!!!!

That's a fair question..they should be well established in the states by now.

Fantastic! Where are these Psalmopoeus?? Why did the D. pentalore sp. "vera cruz" so widely distributed down there, take so long to be differentiated from the D fasciatus? Lack of intelligent data I suppose..surely someone will see the beauty in this sp and take interest..hard to do field work in some areas down there, I expect..props for that, my Mexican and South American brothers.

Probably looking in the wrong places.
There have been Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus for sale here (in the U.S.).
I think there may be one, or two, places currently offering these for sale.

The Psalmopoeus sp "victorii" almost reminds me of a Tappie.

Steve at arachnoiden has a few interesting Psalmos. I have ecclesiasticus and I got my emeraldus from his import. I think he was the first in the US to get them in. Victorii have been slow coming over because it's not easy to get spiders out of Mexico. If something's smuggled, the Poles will almost always be the first to get it.

I guess I kinda made an "oops".
Arachnoiden had some Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus earlier this year. Looks like they no longer have any left.
Pinchers & Pokies had some, in late 2016, but, of course, no longer do.
