Hi, new to posts so apologies if this topic has been discussed already. Seen some lovely pics already from members and would want to add multiple examples to my collection. BUT.....if you could only have one more T, which ONE would you choose?

As I have yet to see one for sale and only seen a few pics on line my top pick would be Iridopelma. seladonium.
What say you?

If money is not an issue H. pulchripes is my most wanted spider...but then again money is an issue, and there's no way I'm shelling out $325 for one of those puppies. Beautiful spider, waaaaaay too expensive.

Xenesthis immanis. Not sure if I spelled it right. And a Phormictopus cautus. And some sp green too. Also P ultramarinus. You can't limit a keeper to just one, that's just crazy talk :)

My one and only one (for the next purchase) is the H. triseriatus (i think that's spelled right) Like @Meludox i've been drawn to the Lemon Patch lately.

However, since i'm buying for 2 collectors i can't just buy 1 and only 1. I have to buy 2, and my son and I have decided on the next purchase to be Avics, either the versi and metallica or the versi and avic. We're still debating between the metallica and avic avic

Everyone needs one A.avic :p




Or two....or...twelve maybe...
2 for sure. My son is set on the versi and i'm torn between the avic and metallica but i think i'll go with the purpurea if they're available and quit my mental debate lol If i can't find the purpurea i'll flip a coin and see what i get :D

i may be wrong about this, but i think Purpurea's are more common in the beginning of spring, so about april.
