Not really sure of the process, or how long it takes, but I believe a committee reviews such proposals. I got the petition form last week.Not wanting to push too much too fast, I am thinking about asking for about 5 to 6 additions to the G. pulchra, G. pulchripes, G. rosea on the list now.I am basing my requests on a list put together by Tom Moran involving a survey of 200 + T keepers’ top “beginner” New World tarantulas he did about 18 months ago. He came up with 13 tarantulas for his list, I am trying to narrow it down to about half that.My thoughts are A. Chalcodes, B. hamorii, C. versicolor, L. parahybana. C. Cyaneopubescens, H. Chilensis. The last one may be hard to find even if it is allowed. I tried to include a variety that I and others would want to collect.Any thoughts?</blockquote>
