[Christell Erasmus]

you truly have an awesome collection. do you breed your tarantulas ?

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Hello
I could breed a few types, but I believe its a huge responsibility. I have a lot more which aren't on this section yet, like P.Metallica's etc. I will still add them at a later stage, its just I say I will tomorrow and it becomes the next day haha.

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Like I have a l.violaceopes that's gravid at the moment and a sling, so I could breed but yet again its a huge responsibility.

 

[Christell Erasmus]

I bet. but you have a lovely collection.

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

Thank you, but I think I am far from finished haha.

My Poecilotheria Metallica/Gooty Sapphire Ornamental Juvies.

 

[Christell Erasmus]

STUNNING. I would love one of them but my hubby doesn't care much for ornamentals. When I started the hobby I swore that one day I would own a Poecilotheria Metallica.

 

[Martin Oosthuysen]

They are, but prices are nuts. I saw them being advertised for R750 for a 1-2cm sling, i guess due to their endangered status that impacts it.

 

[Christell Erasmus]

ah okay, I havent seen one in any of the pet shops around here.
