What are your dream tarantulas so far?

[PanzoN88]

The question is quite simple:

For me there are many, but ten come to mind.

1. Harpactira cafreriana (about to pick one up soon)

2. Aphonopelma moderatum (had one, but it passed earlier this year)

3. Harpactira namaquensis

4. Brachypelma albiceps

5. Monocentropus balfouri

6. Heterothele gabonensis

7. Pterinochilus murinus (TCF)

8. Psalmopoeus irminia

9. Vitalius sorocabae

10. Psalmopoeus pulcher

Oh and dates for my females that are ready.

This is basically my list, but with some slight changes. I have poecilotheria metallica as number 3 and H gigas at 9. I'm not sure if I have female's yet.

I definitely want to do a small M balfouri communal setup at some point, just maybe 3 or at most 4 tarantulas.

I've already had one which sadly passed away from fecal impaction, but generally they are fairly hardy & this isn't all that common of a problem.

I'm glad I got the 2 P vittata slings just before the ban, but wish I also obtained one or two P subfuscua slings as well--missed opportunity.

My H pulchripes matured out as a male & I'd like to try again.

Still, what I'm most looking forward to is fear not tarantulas July mystery box sale. It'll be fun to do something different instead of a known species!!

Question: What is everyone's opinion on these mystery boxes? They usually send the enclosure with the tarantula since you don't know what it is beyond a few hints.

I think you may need to have some spare containers ready.

Not sure what I think of them yet, as I've never bought one, considering it though.

Big fan of H chilensis , E Campestratus and then basically every dwarf species that @Enn49 posts a picture of. I couldn't even name them

I will say thou sometimes your favourites can be ones you never thought of. I have a soft spot for N incei after getting a gold varient in a mystery box. Very nice little Ts

3. Brachypelma albiceps

4. Acanthoscurria antillensis

Basically, if it's large and fluffy I'm cool with it. Just leave the getting drunk and confusing it with my cat up to the professional.
