Which Ones?

[Jesse254]

Given the choice which would you choose:

One of these two:

Columbian Giant Red Leg (Megaphobema robustum) 5" female $60

Brazilian White-Striped Birdeater (Nhandu chromatus) 5.5" female $75

Or all three of these:

Antilles Pinktoe (Avicularia versicolor) 1.5" unsexed $30
Venezuelan Sun Tiger (Psalmopoeus irminia) 3" unsexed $20
Panama Blond (Psalmopoeus pulcher) 2.5" unsexed $20

I have to decide before Saturday. I really would like to take them all but have to stay in my T budget.

I would do whatever resulted in bringing home the most amount of T's. lol

The 3 tree spiders (and save the other 2 on your wish list, although I'd chose an A. Geniculata over the N. Chromatus, lol)! The only downside is that they're unsexed, but on the other hand even the short time a male lives is worthwhile when rearing from small, IMHO.
My A. Versi (2") is very pretty and hardly ever hides (even then I can see it inside its tube. It's still got its "baby colours".

I would go for the smaller tarantulas. Half the fun is watching them grow and finding out what sex they are.

Get the three young ones. It's so rewarding to watch 'em grow!

 

[BossRoss]

The 3 smaller ones! You get to keep them for longer. You get more Ts for the money. The P. irminia is one of my favourite and is a must have if you have the correct experience.

 

[khatchet]

I would go with the 3 as well.

 

[spidey noob]

just treat your self & get all 5, u no u want to really

 

[foritxxar]

Haha it can be hard not to just get everything... they're so tempting!

 

[khatchet]

Thats true of I could I would get all 5.

 

[Talmon Glidden]

I would go for the three. But it depends if you already have those species. I would say if you have 2/3 of those species already, go for the bird eater instead. Unless you already have that kind too. Basically, get whatever gets you more new species of Ts.

All three defo

 

[Jesse254]

Thanks for all your responses. Here is what I am thinking:

Salmon Pink Birdeater (Lasiodora parahybana) 7" female w/ tank
Orange Baboon Tarantula (Pterinochilus murinus) 2" unsexed-
Brazilian Pink Bloom Tarantula (Pamphobeteus platyomma) 4" unsexed-
Venezuelan Sun Tiger (Psalmopoeus irminia) 3" unsexed

And one of these to be decided when I see them:

Columbian Giant Red Leg (Megaphobema robustum) 5" female
Brazilian White-Striped Birdeater (Nhandu chromatus) 5.5" female

I will post pics tomorrow when I get home with them.

 

[foritxxar]

Those sun-tigers are beautiful... I also heard they're fast...
What're you paying for all those goodies?

 

[Jesse254]

Total will be around $200 for 5 of them which includes nice aquariums, hides, and water dishes.

 

[foritxxar]

That's an incredible deal! Local or online? If it's online I'm hopping on that wagon...

 

[Talmon Glidden]

super pumped to see your new additions!

Yeah, Jesse, what is the site? (if it is online)

 

[Jesse254]

It's a local middle school science teacher whose principal told him he had to cut back on the number of T's in his classroom( (he had like 30 or so) and his wife won't let him take them home. I got 7 from him a couple of weeks ago.
