I perused through looking at her balfouri prices for Kymura so going to their websites, Paul has 1/2" for $63 and Tanya has 3/4"-1" slings listed for $60 so pretty comparable I guess?
yeah not bad, i was just there looking at the C. pentalore/D. pentaloris, shipping is $5 more there than from Paul so it's give or take. Might have to try them and see how the service is.

I've heard nothing but good things, but alas she does not have what I search for at the moment so I am unable to try them out yet.

I hear really good communication and I've seen an unboxing of her packing and the packing is top-notch.

Ok back to telling @Kymura what to get..I say Taps haha but of course I am biased. But pentalore and balfouri would both be good additios.

well damn you made me look, then i had to look at my bank account. Then that Add to Cart button was just right there. It's all your fault @Psyrocke :p My C. pentalore should be here tomorrow.

Sorry..not sorry haha,

So, clearly, Kymura should check that vendor out too :) Might even make his budget go further!

Sorry for semi hi-jacking your thread also Kymura :(

NICE!!
and that's all for under your $200 limit? very nice!

Just for comparison if you went with petcenter that list would cost you $215 and you wouldn't get the P. scrofa or P. cancerides or H. sp Columbia. I think you got a steal of a deal!! :)

I can't wait for pics!

came into a somewhat large sum of money unexpectedly, large enough that the bank is holding it till the 26th of this month.
Anyway. I can breath again now as I have Enough to pay mothers bills and get my house paperwork finished.
I am also going to treat myself to a few T's..don't want to spend more then a couple hundred ..so, I'm in the market for..
OBT (maybe. Dependant on price, they are fairly easy to get so may wait.)
Acanthoscurria geniculata because somehow I don't have one yet...
and a Grammostola pulchra
Any other must haves? Remembering of course that I don't love obligate burrowers. Attitude doesn't offend me and I'm comfortable with both old and new world.
(Have pokies coming so no pokies please)
:)
Congrats!!!
I, personally love the balfouri. Got a lil attitude when young, and grow to be beautiful

My balfouri is ALWAYS out in the open. It webs like my OBT, and stays in the open.
I also love the P sazimai
Awesome news I seriously been wanting one for a while but thought they were reclusive. Even my shy T's hang out in the open so I'm super hopeful now :)

Wait...with all of this I still don't have my bedamned OBT....?!?! :confused:
if it were me i'd swap out the H. sp. Columbia small unless you can confirm female. That's full size for a male about. Get the OBT you've always wanted instead.

You can get a 1"+ OBT from Anastasia for $15 or KTBG 3/4" - $14.99, or 1" from Paul for $19, or 1.5"+ from Tanya for $21 (minimum $45 order from her though) plus shipping ;) Probably various other vendors also but these are the only ones I trust (Jamie's didn't have any listed).
