I'll second the Phormictopus sp. I love the Phormictopus cancerides, it is so much more than a brown T & have just added P auratus & articomatus to my collection.

Lasiodora parahybana, known as the LP, is another must have in any collection. They are reasonably fast growers, are beautiful T's with lovely white markings on a soft brown main colour. Like the Phormictopus it is a good eater & they are the third largest T in the world.

Add to the above the fact that the LP is a Brazillian T, so easy to keep & the fact they tend to be curious & willing to pop up & say hello when you open their enclosures & they make a great T to have.

The only downside of LP's is that they are enthusiastic hair flickers & it is some of the worst urticating hair going. But anti histamines are cheap & thus a small price to pay for this lovely T. I currently have 3. 1 adult female. 1 subadult, that I have had for several molts, but which I am yet to sex & a large sling that someone gave me with a recent purchase.

Hi
Nice collection.
Have a look at Pamphobeteus sp and Phormictopus sp.
They are super fun.Fast growth,multiple colour changes as they grow and they are stone cold feeder killers.
Regards Konstantin
Yes I thought about adding a Pamphobeteus or xenesthis species but my problem is I never could decide which one they're all just stunning and I feel like im going to lose it and end up buying several aka there goes the bank account lmao

You aren't the first to say an LP is a must have. It seems everyone I associate with that is also in the hobby has at least one. A friend of mine Is selling slings for $20. I guess they just never peaked my interest. I'll keep the species in mind though, maybe I need to look more into it.

Wow, nice list!

Are you familiar with the gender enumeration method?
Male.Female.unsexed

For example:
3.1.4 Avicularia avicularia
-means you have 3 males, 1 female and 4 unsexed avics

Personally, I'm partial to orange
Pseudoclamoris gigas
Pterinochilus murinus


I like orange and blue
Harpactira pulchripes

and kinda a stretch for orange and not super popular for some reason
Neoholothele incei

I keep all of the above, with the exception of N incei
Guess that makes me either a dreamer or a hypocrite lol

Yes I was aware of that method of listing your Ts but call me old fashioned I guess, after two bachelors I developed a liking to making lists. xD

Yes it does I feel like now you need to get BOTH N incei and N incei gold communals to make up for it.

I've had several P murinus in the past, the first molted out to be Male so I gave it to a friend for breeding (I tend not to keep males) then I kept getting them as freebies. Besides balfouri, I guess I'm just not partial to baboons. It seems everyone I've gotten I've either given them away or traded them.

Except maybe H mac... I've been really considering a female. The while is just stunning.

Several of my slings had grown & I wanted some more to buy & grow. And I wanted to buy T's that expanded my collection.
Totally understand that. I just ordered a mystery box cuz I guess I dont care what I raise. Raising baby Ts is half the fun.. i personally keep all the females and trade off or breed loan my males.

You’re missing E. cyanognathus. With what you’re currently raising I feel like that’s one you’d love.

Also, no nhandhus? I’m very limited in my experience with them but my little chromatus is awesome. When it’s not buried. Which is all the time.

Nope no nhandhu... I've looked at the chromatus a couple times because I like the contrast in colors but always went another direction when purchasing.

E. cyanognathus literally just looks like my E uatuman just with blue fangs lol
