11 New Birthday Tarantulas arriving today...
Well today is the big day for the 11 tarantulas I ordered for my birthday to arrivive. They are not here yet but so far so good as they are on schedule and in route. Here is a list of what Should be (if all goes well in transit :please:) coming in today:
Avicularia diversipes 1"+ (had one before but do not currently have any)
Avicularia juruensis 1"+ (never owned one before)
Avicularia minatrix 1/2" (had one before but do not currently have any)
Avicularia purpurea 1/2+ (had one before but do not currently have any)
Ceratogyrus marshalli 3/4"+ (never owned one before and my first horned baboon tarantula)
Hapalopus sp. Columbia 1"+ (Common name is Pumpkin Patch, never owned one before and excited to get one)
Lampropelma sp. Borneo Black 2.5"+ (never owned one before, first Asian aboreal)
Lampropelma violaceopes 1.5"+ (never owned one before, second Asian aboreal)
Poecilotheria bara (low land form of the Poecilotheria subfusca) 4"+ (never owned one beofre)
Psalmopoeus irminia 1"+ (never owned one and really never appealed to me but they have growen on me so I look forward to owning one and along with my Asian aboreals probably rarely ever seeing - lol)
Pterinochilus murinus 1.5"+ (OBT number 2 now, the one I currently have I think is a male so I am hoping I have better luck with this one and it will be a female)
And that is all of what should (:please:) be arriving today. Expect a nice feeding video some time next week :D
In other T news:
My Avicularia metallica and Cyriocosmus ritae have both passed away. Both of wich looked VERY female. Not sure what happened with the metallica. It was a sparadic eater ever since I got it and just slowly went down hill. The C. ritae was completely my fault and was avoidable. I am not even going to get into that noob mishap :mad:
My Poecilotheria metallica is a male I am pretty sure (third P. metallica I have owned and third one to be a male :rage:), my Monocentropus balfouri looks to be a male and my Megaphobema robustum looks to be a male as well. A lot of my more expensive T's in my collection seem to be males :rage: They are still pretty and it happens some times so what can you do you know :confuzd: I have had a good streak on getting females lately so some males were bound to happen sooner or later (just wish it was with some less expensive T's)...

Sorry to hear you've had so many males in your more pricy T's. I hippie you have luck with getting more females real soon.
Thanks Eric!! I heard the P. irminia's are that way :( So are the lampropelma's from what I heard and quite a few other T's that I have so it will fit right in :rofl: Yeah my luck with males - lol That's what I get for getting lucky with so many females :rofl:

I'm so sorry to hear about your losses! And all those males! :(
Thanks Alexa!!! I really like the Borneo blacks too!!! Young ones have the orange frills so to speak and the adult females are the jet black color. Kind of like and aboreal G. pulchra (Kind of - lol). And I picked the marshalli because from what I have heard they have the biggest horn. Unless you get I male , then I heard it is more like a button? I am sure it will be a male with my luck :rofl: The loses suck but it happens some times :( Same thing with the males but like I said I just wish I male'd out with some cheaper T's so they were eaiser to pick more up of like the OBT you know :oops: They can't all be females sadly though :(

Do you really have all those Scientific names memorized? Or do you have to look it up?

I have most memorized - lol. Now and again I need to look at spelling on ones that are hard or that I have not delt with often for example the Poceilotheria hanumsomethingorother (hanumavillasumica is the proper spelling, had to look it up). If i owned it I would know how to spell it off the top of my head from seeing the labels on the tank and just writing it in posts. I do not do well at all with the proper pronunciation of 98% of the scientific names and in all honesty I have no idea without looking them up what most of the common names for tarantulas are :oops:
