I took about a six months off from buying, and came back with a buying frenzy..there's no hope. If I got put in prison I'd probably have a few truespiders as pets And a mouse, like that little dude on The Green Mile.

How many do you currently have?

 

[IamKrush]

Curious mind over here.
What are you wanting/getting?

Nice.
Other than the A. avic, each of those are on my wish list (especially the B. emilia).
Although, I wouldn't pass on an A. avic.

The avic avic is a hope. I have the worse luck finding them. So i may not even get one when the time comes but the rest once they are available. Maybe a blue fang

Each of those are, currently, available. Just depends on where you look.
I would get them, right now, but my wishlist is long and bank account is short.
The blue fang is a pretty cool T.

Yeah, to scattered about tho. Want to get them from same source and have to wait on money any way.

I think one place has all but one.
However, 'tis true, seems nobody has each/all of them right at this moment.
Of course, sure understand the money thing too.

One breeder did. But I was to slow on getting them and two sold out.

I'm looking to get a B. smithi, perhaps a B. emilia. The breeder I'll be visiting at the upcoming hamburg, PA show also has some P. vittata available, though I'm not sure if I'm ready for the lightening fast speed of a pokie.

@Enn49 if I were to get a P. vittata, could I name him/her Enn in honor of your sweet girl? I'd like very much to keep her memory alive here in this forum.

My son got Enn as his first T and we never had a problem with her.

I think that's a lovely thought. I don't know if you know but Enn means 8 in Tamil, a language spoken by many in the area where the P. vittata originates.

 

[IamKrush]

I've had to show restraint as I'm on the hunt for some particular T's but Ive almost given in to my impulses a few times lol!

It's hard not to if you have been looking for a certain one, specially if the price is right.

What breeder are you meeting there?

 

[IamKrush]

Hehe damn right! I got a large exo terra vivarium lying empty, can't have that I'm looking for an AF Avic.Versi but it's proving difficult

I haven't seen any of those over here for sale either. Or even A.V MMs. I hope you can find one.

I didn't know what Enn meant, but I love it it's a name that's beyond perfect.

Me too buddy I'll probably cave in and get a pokie lol

Go for a Poecilotheria metallica. I want one but they are not cheap over here. About 90$ for 3/4th" and up to 175$ for larger specimens. Im sure even more then that older they are and if they are sexed.

@Shampain - I read about the venom. I don't do a lot of hands on handling with my Ts. My boyfriend has handled our G. rosea but that's about it. I figure it's unlikely that they enjoy handling, so why stress them? I also read that P. vittata is a great beginner pokie, which also peaks my interest, along with their natural beauty of course.

@IamKrush - Anastasia at netbug is the vendor I'll be visiting first, after we help our friend get his tables set up. I purchased a lovely B. vagans from her at the last show. I usually stop by Kamel Spiders as well, great folks, I have one of their G. pulchripes slings. Do you go to the Hamburg show as well?

Nice, Anastasia was the first breeder I've delt with. Great lady and very helpful. Also what you said about handling Ts Im the same. I treat them like one would a fish. I enjoy observing . The only one i've handlig was my E.sp red and that's because it walked out on to me.

Anastasia is wonderful! She's always very helpful with answering any questions I may have, and I usually have a handful. I look forward to seeing her again at the next show.

Sounds like your E. sp red was feeling a bit curious that day. My Ts usually hide when I open up the enclosures, but they're all quite small still, so I suppose that could change down the road.

The e.sp is about 1/3" all my other Ts will run and hide or stand still cautiously. Ironicly the only threat pose I got was from my g.porteri thats a 1/4" i was certain it would of been the obt that did that first,lol.

Haha I got a threat pose from my 1 inch G rosea (which I think may be a porteri, she's gotten rather brown, and species wasn't specified when she was gifted to me), as well as my tiny 1/4 inch B albo. They're so small that I couldn't even take it seriously, it just came across as cute
