After the last couple months of losing a few Ts i'll be ordering some new additions the end of this month. I should have some great paydays after all the overtime and traveling installing phone systems so i'm treating my son and I to some new pets.

I want 2 more avics. I'm torn between the one i lost - sp. Peru Purple - and the Purpurea, and then i'd like a suggestion on the second species to get, or third rather since we sitll have the versicolor.

Also looking for more NW terrestrials. I'm a big fan of the Brachy's so i'll be grabbing one or 2 of them, but would like suggestions for a couple other terrestrials.

It brings me comfort knowing that I'm not the only person who celebrates extra money by ordering more Ts. I keep trying to tell my wife that this is completely normal! :)

I've been enjoying my Avicularia sp. Amazonica and Avicularia juruensis. I got both as slings, and they are eating great and growing like weeds.

For terrestrials, I don't see any Phormictopus or Pamphobeteus in your collection. You've got the LP and the genic...a species from either of these genera would be a great next step. :)

Or, maybe a Pterinopelma sazimai? Hardy, eat great, and they're blue as adults.

And finally, perhaps a Bumba cabocla? Very unique-looking T that is also quite hardy.

I"ve been waiting for a P. sp. Purple to come up for sale again, might have to try one of the other Phormictopus instead. I'll have to look up the Pamphobeteus, nothing comes to mind on that one.

The P. sazimai sounds interesting, i like the blue ones ;) And i've been debating about the Bumba for a while now, only thing i don't like is they're one of the slowest growing ones out there. But then every time @Enn49 posts pics i want one lol.

A minitrix, because they are sooo adorable!
No psalmos...? Shame on you! You need to fix that!

A. minatrix is a good idea. :)
My son had a Pcam, lost him with a bad molt :( he doesn't want another.

A. diversipes is high on my list. :)

Not interested in any OW at this time, and i don't want to risk one of the Theraphosa as dry as it is here. With my son now having a job and my work making me travel a lot until mid February i'm not sure i could adequately care for one now.

A.Diversipes for the avic. They have awesome colors as they grow and mine was an eating machine.

For terrestrials...E. Sp Red?
Click to expand...
another vote for A. diversipes :) looks like i'll add that one. Oh! that's the one i was thinking of when i mentioned @Enn49 posting pics of it and wanting one, not the B. cabocla, but that one is still on the list ;)

Kymura said:
What's wrong with a good old
Avicularia avicularia? Realize they are plentiful and not overly fancy but mine are gorgeous and they are sweet T's.
Cheap enough you could add one and barely notice the cost :p
Click to expand...
Good idea.

So here's the list i'm looking at -
A. diversipes
A. avic
A. purpurea
Phormictopus (species?)
Pamphobeteus (species?)
E. sp Red or B. Calboca (depending which i can get)

Hopefully i can get these all from the same vendor to save on shipping :)
Suggestions on the species for Phromictopus and Pamphobeteus? Cancerides was mentioned for the Phorms, who has these or others that can chime in? :)

A. minatrix
A. sp. Peru Purple (no A. avic listed)
B. smithi (2nd one for the boy :D)

talked to the boss over the weekend (my son) and we've modified the purchase to include a few for his best friend. His friend has started a study project on Tarantulas also. So now the shopping list is -

A. diversipes 3/4"
B. smithi 3/4"
P. machala 1"
G. rosea (for the friend) 3/4"
A. versicolor (for the friend) 3/4"
B. albo (for the friend) 1/2"
A. chalcodes (2nd for my son, he wants a sling to watch it grow into the moody beast his AF is now) 1/2"
P. sazimai 1/4"
N. chromatus (freebie) 1/2"

Now i just need to get more enclosures lol so I may have to wait another payday to order these ;)

Edit: i swapped out the B. cabolca for the P. sazimai.
