For the Phormictopus I'd suggest any, I'm a fan of sp. green though. For the Pampho I suggest antinous. Alternatively, you can get a wild caught sexed female cancerides pretty cheap. Cant go wrong there. Watch the Pampho, they can be skittish and quite zoomy as babies/juvies. They settle down as they grow though. My 2 mascara babies are really bold and chill, then they get a wild hair and its off to the races..both have had to be coaxed off of me, and they are deceptively fast. Not fun, chasing a hundred dollar sling around your shirt in the mirror. The mascaras are a unique looking Pampho as adults, and supposedly a bit drier than the others, coming from arid coastal scrubland and forests. Mine are still babies though, so Im not going to test that theory just yet. Cant go wrong with any sp from either of those genera though.

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.

Have fun waiting for that A.Chalcodes to grow lol. But that's neat!

I second the P.Antinous! And P.Sazimai is awesome. I have a sling, slow growing in my experience thus far. It was growing really fast but now it's hit about 1/2" and has slowed down substantially.

Looks like a good list. I agree with others here that you will like the sazimai. I have a pair that are 3/4" and they seem to always be out in the open and on the move. Can't wait for them to start shifting to the blue coloration.

All the T's arrived safe and sound. But, I forgot my cell on my desk at work when i went to unpack them at lunch. So i'll get pictures after work. They're all tiny tiny, like the PZB I got. Only the P. machla or however you spell it was larger. he's mayb 3/4" DSL. My son is going to freak :D

Packing was spectacular like always from Paul. now i just need to do a rush order of pinhead crickets or lateralis for these tiny ones to eat.

Got home last night, took my cell straight to the spider desk, and every one of those little newbies, except the P. machala, had burrowed away. So here he is hiding in his burrow.

Now i just need names for them all....

I need to look at sizes when ordering closer lol. All the others are still buried.

My son's friend got the B. albo from this order and he molted Monday. So he almost got to see his first molt. Almost as it was buried like all the others lol
