What will my next T be?

[HungryGhost]

I'm going to a reptile expo next week. Along with some cork bark and other supplies I'm planning on coming home with a new T. I've narrowed it down to a new world terrestrial. It also have to be a genus I don't have yet. Maybe B. albiceps, auratum, or boehmei. Whatever it is I want something with some size to it too, at least 2" or more but not an adult. I may just stumble on something I wasn't even looking for and take it home. Any suggestions?

Any of the Brachys would make a great addition as would the Acanthoscurria if your interested in something whit a little more tude. Keep in mind that the albiceps can get quite pricey here in the states. My abliceps is a sweetheart and totally worth the money.

You have no Brachys yet?!!! Get a smithi!!! A. geniculata is a super cool T as well, love their stark black and white.

Brachypelma albiceps is a beautiful species. My girl is one of my most docile, and beautiful ts, and I have well over 100. Can't go wrong with one of those!

I had two smithi back when I first got into T's about 15 years ago. I raised them from slings to mature adults and then sold them to a breeder. One was a male, one a female. I'm just kind of put off by the slow growth rate. They were beautiful but both didn't take to handling at all. The female was a hair flicking beast even during cage maintenance. The A. gens are nice but I'm leaning towards something that maxes out at 5"-6". Thanks for the input!

Hi there,
I would go with a brachypelma boehmei.Beautiful tarantula but not as flicky as the smithi. A b. Emilia is also a good choice.

I've just noticed you own a P. Sazimai! It's the new No.1 on my T wishlist. Now just need to convince hubby that every household needs one (and a GBB), lol.

GBBs are a must for every owner. My P. sazimai is a tiny little sling, can't wait for it to grow and get some color.

I was going to suggest P. cancerides (hearty, spunky, and go through wonderful color changes), but then I saw the 5-6". I would second B. boehmei, although they are also slow growers.

How about P. parvula? Mine's a hearty and gorgeous medium sized T that sports a lovely coloration (my avatar pic is my P. parvula). They are also quite docile.

If you're like me, you'll likely pick up something completely unexpected or planned.
