My sling viles are slowly starting to decrease & I have nothing that I really want as a sling, so I have been wondering what I should do.

The first option is nothing. But my A johnnycashi & H chilensis slings are very slow growing & it's nice to have something a little faster growing, if only to keep my interest going.

The second option is to buy something on my want list. But it's a small list of mostly hard to find T's & none are currently available.

Which brought me to idea three. Just buy a couple of random slings. Something I currently don't have. Something that is under valued, maybe cheap, Something not on most peoples want list. I know from my P cancerides, that popularity has nothing to do with the quality of T. So I thought I would look this way.

Any ideas? The criteria is simple. An under valued species.

Before answering the question, what are you raising currently?

We have several different Gramastola, a few Aphonothelma, the usual Brachypelma's, A couple of pokies, a 2 cambridgei, 2 European Tarantulas, (C olivaceum.) I nearly always buy slings 2 at a time. A T blondi & stirmi. A Versicolor, an avic, avic. A pink bloom, (P platyomma) a couple of GBB's. An OBT, a hati haiti & an L parahybana.

That makes it easier for recommendations, now I will recommend Neoholothele incei (either color form).

I have just put an order into spiderworld.eu as they had what I wanted.

1 X Neoholothele incei
1 X Neoholothele incei Gold
1 X Cyriocosmus sellatus
1 X Thrixopelma pruriens

Plus another Tliltocatl albopilosum Nicaragua sling, mainly because I could. Plus we ordered my wife a couple more including a Nhandu tripepii Female & a Nhandu carapoensis sling.

I am of the opinion that a collection is not complete without at least two T. albopilosum. Nice adds by the way.

thrixopelma ockerti is a very beautiful under rated species that grows pretty quickly and ends up with a gorgeous pink booty! and after a molt! Striking!
