Now that I am keeping again, I am trying to decide what I want the most as I am only going to keep a few,
(for me thats about 20)
Anyway, making a wish list, some quite common I know, this is not complete as there are so many I just adore.
whats on your lists??


Aphonopelma seemani (always wanted one)
Avicularia minatrix (and any avics really, adore them all)
Brachypelma albopilosum Nicaragua (who doesn't love a curly or two or six or...whatever)
Brachypelma albopilosum Honduran
Lasiodora parahybana (I don't care how common they are, I LIKE THEM!)
Nhandu chromatus (<3)
Nhandu coloratovillosus (<3)
Nhandu tripepii (<3)
Psalmopoeus pulcher (or any psalmo really)
Pseudhapalopus sp. Kurzhaar (gasps! so pretty!)
Tapinauchenius violaceus (tappy, nuff said)

and an OBT and Poecilotheria or two, (arboreals are always ok with me.)​

Good choices. everyone needs albos, LPs and an Avic/Caribena or 2 but you've missed Pokies off your list.:).

Most of the Ts I'd really like are too expensive at the moment and I'm currently running out of space as my babies grow but I am looking at getting a Hysterocrates sp Hercules and a Pamphobeteus sp. Machala very soon.

I don't know what happened to her. She had gone into hiding as though she was moulting, so I left her alone then one day I saw 2 legs at her old front door at ground level so I thought she was beginning her clear out and would appear in all her glory when she was ready. Those 2 legs stayed where they were for a couple of days and I began to worry, I nudged them, no reaction so I pulled them out gently to find it was Zera. Not a sign of any problems but sadly she was dead. I do miss her :(

Well apart from all the tarantulas I can't keep here in Australia on my wishlist are Phlogius 'black presley' and Selenotypus 'yellow'/'banana' or similar, these I would like as juvies rather than slings.

I wonder if the reason many people don't keep Phlogiellus (Asian Dwarf Ts) is because of the confusion with the Australian Phlogius. Not helped by articles like this http://www.australiangeographic.com...2/08/australian-spiders-the-10-most-dangerous (see item 7)

I have three on my wish list:

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens - Green Bottle Blue
Pelinobius muticus - King Baboon
Theraphosa stirmi - Burgundy Goliath Birdeater

You hit it on the head! My GBBs are my favorite.

On my last order I threw a P muticus sling on there because they were cheap and I’ve wanted one. I’m looking forward to seeing what sex it is in the next decade. :)

I got an AF T stirmi from craigslist a while ago and its the only T that my wife has really been afraid of. I got rid of it because she hated it so much. I just got a 4” juvie from craigslist. We’ll see what the wife says as it gets bigger.

While I can always want more, fortunately I have most of what I want. An M balfouri communal would be nice (Tom Moran’s podcast on these piqued my interest even more).

A T blondi and/ or apophysis would be cool, but for no real reason other than they are more rare than stirmi.

I’d never say no to a chance to own a T seladonia, but honestly I think I’d get frustrated with it always hiding and I’d end up overfeeding just to catch a glimpse of it.

I’d like a female C versicolor since mine turned out male.

Beyond that I have most of my wants: B auratum, GBBs, P rufilata, P metallica.
