I'd start with all of them and go from there :D

That looks like a good list. What do you like in a tarantula? Color? Size? Attitude? Interesting behavior? Help us narrow it down.
I would quite happily have them all but i dont know if i could convince my missus to let me have them all haha. I like everything about tarantulas, but id probably put size or colour top of the list.

Both of those have a bit of attitude also :) good choices!

However, every collection has to have an A. genic, nothing eats like a genic. ;) Mine upended his hide and almost his water dish chasing a cricket this last feeding.

I may have to buy the missus an expensive gift in return for afew extra Ts haha. The first spider i ever owned, when i was younger, was an a.genic but unfortuntaly it didnt live long as i had been misinformed on how to keep them by the pet shop id bought it from. I saw a sub adult female when i went to buy my male t.stirmi and she was gorgeous. I love feeding time, especially my stirmis and gbb [emoji2]

Not to piss on JP87s chips but......I was married and had to keep buying the wife something in exchange for more T's (had 3 at the time) Once it was a diamond ring so it is a slippery slope! Thankfully, I am now separated and have 23 Ts. Yey ☺ oh and a signature that reminds me of the experience everytime I post.....lmao
