Tarantula Wishlist

[Xinowulf]

I had to get out of it because of work and having to start all over again. My wife and I have been talking about it and miss the Ts we had. So there are some we’d like to get again and some we never got a chance to get.

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
Hapalopus sp. Columbia LARGE
Harpactira pulchripes
Lasiodora parahybana
Megaphobema robustum
Monocentropus balfouri (try a communal)
Poecilotheria metallica
Pterinochilus murinus
Theraphosa blondi

 

[Dupid22]

Not from my female/your male, sadly. She has not dropped a sac, yet

In some ways this is still a good thing. I need to build more shelves before I get any more T's. I already have two tanks on the counter because I ran out of space.....

 

[Vermis]

At the moment, the sling shopping list has things like:

Something in the Ceratogyrus range
Nhandu chromatus
I keep hearing a lot of hype for Grammostola pulchripes
Pterinopelma sazemai
Psalmopoeus irminia
I'd like another Pterinochilus murinus orange form

If I could just get my teeny-tiny livefood colonies going.

Further down the road, I'd like to get a male for my female G. iheringi. Such a nice spider, needs to be more in the hobby.

 

[PanzoN88]

I do have a rather lengthy wishlist, but I’ll list my top 12 in order (minus males):

1. Aphonopelma marxi
2. Harpactira cafreriana
3. Harpactira namaquensis
4. Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus
5. Phormictopus auratus
6. Theraphosa stirmi
7. Pterinochilus murinus (all locales)
8. Harpactira baviana
9. Harpactira gigas
10. Brachypelma klaasi
11. Brachypelma boehmei
12. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens

didn’t make the list because I doubt I’ll ever see them available:

Thrixopelma cyaneolum
Phormictopus sp. full green
Eucratoscelus constrictus

I’m not getting anything new for the next few years because I have plenty of responsibilities right now but my collection just feels incomplete without A. genic and E capmestratus.

@PanzoN88 i think I’ve seen that Phormictopus for sale recently but it was pretty pricey.

I have managed to add more to my Wishlist!

5. Brazilian Black (Grammostola pulchra)
6. Nicaragua Curly Hair (Tliltocatl albopilosus)
7. AZ Blonde (Aphonopelma chalcodes)
8. Mexican Fireleg (Brachypelma bohemei)
9. Stout Leg Baboon (Euratoscelus pachypus)

9. Stout Leg Baboon (Euratoscelus pachypus)

I had an E. pachypus, she was stunning. Heavy webbing, excellent eaters, I miss that one. They are sexually dimorphic and males are often confused for other species, which results in less breeding of this species. I know a few people who did have males, but ultimately the females never dropped sacs.

 

[Vermis]

I never heard of Psalmopoeus ecclesiasticus. Looked it up. Very nice colours!

 

[Metallattorney]

My wish list:
1. Eucratoscelus pachypus
2. Ceratogyrus attonitifer
3. Harpactira atra
4. Ceratogyrus dolichocephalus
5. Pterinochilus murinus bcf tete
6. Pterinochilus lapalala
7. Augacephalus junodi
8. Harpactirella lightfooti
9. Basillochilus xenostridulans
10. Brachionopus robustus

I like to keep a constantly updated top 10 list.

I love that you've added the T. albopilosus! Its my first and only T, and my favorite!!

 

[goldenpumpkin]

Well I already have my dream T (aka the curly hair), and I'm quite happy with just having him, as I fear I would get too overwhelmed having more than one tarantula. If I were get another T after he passes away, however, it would either be another curly hair or a C. versicolor. Visually speaking, those two species are tied as my favorites, solely because I've yet to see any other species that is quite as fluffy. Though I feel like I'll likely be sticking to curly hairs, just because I am a bit put off from arboreals, due to them being more prone to jumping and also because I just wanted a break from arboreals after losing my pet chameleon </3

Fluffy tarantulas are the best! T. albos always seem to have so much personality too.

Are you familiar with Avicularia avicularia Morphotype 6, aka Avicularia metallica aka Avic M6?

Slightly larger than C versicolor, A metallica
grows to 6" on average and is a stunner with deep blue, "glow rod" tipped setae

Yes, I am! I actually came across that species in my search to find the fluffiest tarantulas hah, but in my opinion (from the pictures I've seen) it looks like they are slightly less fluffy than the Caribena versicolor. The reason I am going for the fluffiest ones possible is because as a former arachnophobe they are less scary looking to me lol

Another "fluffy" T is the N. Vulpinus, or the Brazilian giant blond.
