Oursapoil. Can't go wrong here. Purchase a trio of adult and subadult spiders from Vincent and son. They were shipped promptly and arrived in great shape. Credit goes to a man with politeness and honesty in abundance. I would recommend Vincent and son to anyone, just as others have said in this...

Happy New Year. Arachnoiden list update, January 1, 2017. Recent additions are listed under the subtitle New below. On the website, as before, species are in list format for ease of use. The sliding-scale discount is the same, 5% to 25% for orders $100 to $300 and above. Discounts are...

Whoa. At least get the facts right!

An air cargo shipment is scheduled to arrive next Thursday, July 28, 2016. Between now and July 24 (midnight, EST), individuals and retailers can order from the list below. Species listed are spiderlings, most bred in Germany between March 2016 and June 2016. Because of this special, reduced...

Forgot to answer the OP. The most expensive T currently is probably Pamphobeteus sp. "solaris," a red-tinted Pamphobeteus species recently bred by Benjamin Weber of Germany, a hobbyist/breeder generating fracas in the hobby with his marketing methods for Pamphobeteus and Xenesthis. He released...

True that. B. baumgarteni were bred in 2015 by Emmanuel Goya of Montreal (2 sacs), parents from Eddy Hijmensen in the Netherlands, imported via Tarantula Canada. Thus, the lowest prices would be expected to be for Canadians, higher for US citizens due to importation tariffs, provided it was done...

From the molt photo it is a little tougher to say. Firstly, it is an angled shot. I did download the photo and zoomed in, but pixelation is limiting. Nevertheless, I don't see spermatheca or an external uterus, which would be visible to the naked eye at this size; thus, consistent with male. A...

These are good photos for ventral sexing. Both ventrals indeed indicate males. :)

Yes, very true. In the end, time will tell!

In the EU (German taxonomists in the main), there is not widespread acceptance of this publication's recommendations. The journal is not peer-reviewed and generally considered a hobbyist's journal (BTS). Thus, having asked the same question over there, I was told the old names are still being used.

Good news is Ornithoctoninae sp. "Malthai" is another lovely trapdoor T. :D Bad news is it probably costs as much as your home repair job. :(

Nice article Kymura, the most concise and considered review of substrate I've ever read. Far as buying topsoil, I've had the same experience as y'all. It's hard to find the stuff without additives, like the soft, black, fine-grained potting soil we middle-age folks used to buy at the local...

A Mayan glyph? I'd like a rubber stamp version, or wall carving, or a big version on a T-shirt!

Those are just two. I've had scores of escapees! I'm pretty sure I have the addiction worse than most, or at least, have fewer barriers when it comes to trying to satisfy it. @_@
