Hi everyone. I have always been a big fan of the brachypelma and was wondering how many different species other members have on this Forum, I will start the ball rolling! I have:

Brachypelma Albiceps x 8
Brachypelma Albopilosum x 4 (3 true and 1 hobby form)
Brachypelma Annitha x5
Brachypelma Auratum x2
Brachypelma baumgarteni x4
Brachypelma Boehmei x3
Brachypelma Emelia x6
Brachypelma Klaasi x4
Brachypelma schroederi x1
Brachypelma Smithi (Hamorii) x 9
Brachypelma vagans x 2

....and what I lovingly call my "mystery brachy" - Likely albiceps with either Klasii or boheimi at a guess looking at leg/abdomen colours (picture is in my gallery if interested).

What have other members got?
*Edit: just ordered B. kahlenbergi and B. verdezi now :)

I got a ten-spot that Phil is the Brachy master on this site!! Sabulosum excepted. I saw an epicureanum this weekend. While I really love my wife, if it weren’t for her tamping down my tarantula love, I definitely would have picked it up! @Arachnoclown : when will your sabulosum’s be ready to ship???

They are all ready to go...weather permitting. Usually I only ship in the spring or early summer. I have 130 slings all larger then a quarter now.

B. hamorii, 1, B boehmei, 1. My first spider was a hamorii way back in 1990. She was easy and docile and didn't mind when one was in her cage. The boehmei is a bit more skittish and runs for cover on occasion when the top door is opened. She has never flicked bristles however and is a good eater. None of them were or are handled.
