US Looking for Avic versi and Avic purpurea

[kormath]

My son and i want to purchase these 2 T's but i have yet to find both on a vendor site. I can find one or the other. I'm hoping someone here with more knowledge of the various breeders out there can direct me to one. I prefer slings, 1/2-1.5" or so.

I just looked everywhere that I know, can't find anyone who sells both. I only know two breeders who have A. purpurea but plenty others have versi's.

yeah same here. i think i'll have to buy them separately, so that means we'll get 4 T's instead of 2 No way i'll just buy one a time and pay $40 shipping each.

I realise no help at all but I recently got both these without any issues in the UK. The Purperea is less common certainly. Mine arrived today. I hope you mange to get some. Lovely spiders....especially when slings. Good luck and please post pics when you have them.

Looks like the purperea is going to stay on my list for a while longer. Thanks for checking guys now on with the mental debate of what i want to buy with my son's avic versi

Oh i'll get one just not in the same order as the versi. I just ordered my son his A. versicolor and myself an LP. next order we do, probably in february or march when the weather is warmer and the money pouch cobwebs have been cleaned out i'll get myself the purpurea and my son his A. chalcodes. That's one of the ones that's always been at the top of his list but he keeps changing it more than i change mine lol.

For me the chalcodes is like the B smithi, and emilia, they're common spiders that most hobbyists consider must haves, and i keep passing on them to get other spiders, and every time I see them now I kick myself. I know, I have a problem. You all do too, it's the nature of the beast.

exactly. I don't know how many times my most wanted list has changed. I'm sure i have 3 or 4 different versions posted here in various threads lol.

Made my son a promise though, Next purchase is the chalcodes for him and smithi for me. Smithi was the first T i wanted and i've passed on it 4 times now lol. He talked me into the B. vagans first, then talked me into the albo, etc. etc.
