Any Homoeomma keepers/aficionados wanna vote in a poll?

Never been into them.

I have the first two on the list, they are both amazing. Good luck finding H. orellanai, I got lucky when I got my slings a few years ago. H. chilensis are becoming hard to find nowadays. Can't recommend the first two enough.

Thank you so much. This is the kind of response that I was hoping to get. As a newbie, asking these kinds of questions, especially about the ones that aren’t as common, it’s the only way I’m/we are going to learn. Thank you again!

The Homoeomma genus happens to be my favorite, so I make sure to assist where I can when it concerns this genus.

Well, then. Looks like I have two to try and find, not just one. LOL. It’s kind of frustrating that they aren’t as readily available as they used to be, but also understandable. I guess that’s what makes some of these types of hobbies more enjoyable for some people: the seeming unattainability, and hunt for “that one species”.
Of course, any leads on finding one that’s not prohibitory expensive or help otherwise to find one/some, would be greatly appreciated.

H chilensis is one of my favourite Ts. But so hard to find. Slings take forever to grow and it puts a lot of people off getting them. I would recommend getting multiple slings if you do get yourself any but it will be years before you have a spider of any size.

Thank you! That’s not a bad suggestion—if I’m already going to be paying an arm and three legs, why not a bit more for a couple?

Reason I say that is i had 2 slings and one didn't make it . They were both kept exact same conditions but it's just the way it goes. With the rate they grow I couldn't think of anything worse than a sling just not making it after a year or so of being in care.

Hopefully as these gain some popularity more people will breed them and they'll become more available

That makes total sense. I really appreciate you sharing your experience.
