Tarantulas and Spiders

So... I have just about completed my wish list. Still a few things that I don't have but have my name on when sacs hatch.

What's #1 on everyone's wish list?
(besides P. metallica)

A. Versicolor

Then GBB

Then we'll see:)

rich you keep adding more to my wishlist lmao. All of you do lol.

I want more baboons!

My mind don't work like that. I can't just put 1 at the top. I want a lot of different ones all for different reasons. I'm loving a lot of dwarf species right now though. I honestly can't come up with just 1 that I gotta have. :( I want a bunch!

Yea same lol.

"Baboons" is a pretty general statement haha. Specifically more ceratogyrus!
If i had to pick just one right now i'd probably say a balfouri though. I'm currently pretty obsessed with them. I can't wait for the pederseni i got from rich to gain some size. I wanna see how i like keeping pokies. If its cool enough then i'll think about expanding and getting some of the more expensive ones.

So far all of my pokies are fraidy cats. You pick up their enclosure and they bolt to their hides. I still wouldn't stick my hand in there but they aren't anywhere near as evil as I thought they would be. The wife wants balfouri something awful. Lol I'm looking into reciefes. Don't know if that's spelled correctly but pretty sure its close. Lol I'm just watching for deals on Ts I want when I think I've found the best price I'm gonna find I jump on it.

I want some more Baboons for sure.

I. mira

I think I would like to expand my Psalmopoeus and Poecilotheria.
Wouldn't mind some Xenesthis

Also starting to look at Chilobrachys - Mike look into these :D (that should add a few lines to the list)
Looking for a going price at a 3" Chilobrachys fimbriatus. I have a poss. trade but have no idea what they go for.

Ephebopus

Not sure what I would put as #1

I. miras are also high up on my baboon list.

I'm good with my irminia and pederseni for now before i expand into more of either one of those genus. Pokies have such SICK patterns and colors, i hope i enjoy them.

The X. immanis i think is one i liked... Could be thinking of something else but its from the amazon and purple?

Chilobrachys... They're fossorial, asian Ts? Like it pretty humid? Idk much about any of them. I'll go check them out.

No more ephebopus for me until my EM and BF start eating better and get some size. I'm not too crazy about them right now. The adults look sweet though so i'll still keep them for awhile.

Another baboon on my list:
http://www.tarantulacanada.ca/pic.ph...rofulva-female

I like P. lugardi's and I wanna add a couple Augacephalus species too. :p

Checkout tarantula canada's gallery, they have a lot of good pics.

I just know the Chilos are crazy and like to web like mad. I need to look more into them for sure. Some of the best webbers over GBBs and OBTs

Yeah the X. immanis, Colombian Lesser Black. They look awesome but dont know much about them.


Damon, speaking of dwarfs. I saw it the other day but now I can't remember the name (I hope I wasnt dreaming) There is a species thats pretty much a dwarf GBB. :)

Ehhhh, they aren't that cool looking though. Maybe one just for the webbing, kinda like my one avic lol. Will have to decide on my favorite chilo lol

They don't have to look cool, with all that webbing you'll never see it anyway :p

yea true i guess i didnt think about it like that haha

Baboons??

Skulls was talking about wishlists so i decided to think about it and write down one.

Some of these i'm more serious about wanting and some not as much. I just liked the look when i saw them so sometime in the future i may want one. Some i definitely want though. The only one i left off is M. balfouri because they're on a whole other level of want!! :p

I'm definitely not wanting anymore pokies until my pederseni gets some size but those are the ones i liked when i looked through all of them. Don't particularly want anymore avics right now either but the urticans are neat looking. :gj:

So far, my wishlist is rather short...
A.pupurea
GBB
P.metallica
G.sp.maule
Goliath pinktoe(forgot the latin name)

sent from my incubator

You saw Pet Center USA had gbb's for $25 right? :D

Skulls, she's around 1.5", I'm gonna try switching her substrate out.

Noooope Mike's lying, he's a tarantula hoarder, he's just using me as an excuse! :p

I already got the P. metallica haha! I have so many I want lol. Some that come to mind... balflouri, G. pulchra, P. irminia, P. regalis, P. cambridgei, A. ezendami, A. diversipes, Cyriopagopus sp.Sumatra, a couple different Lampropelma species ... the list is huge and ever growing lol.

I also want a collection of 1 each of all the T's that look like B. boehmei, just to do it. So far M. robustum, A. bicoloratum, B. baumgarteni, I know there was at least 1 more... I will collect them all mwuhahaha!

Mike that list has a lot that are on mine too! I've got urticans almost an inch now I think.

Crystal a friend of mine is pairing sp maules right now. He's got 1.2 so hoping for at least 1 sac. Ill be getting a bunch of them per a deal we worked out. I think I could let any of you have them at wholesale prices even for just 1. Thinking like $2 but its months away so ill let ya'll know. The goliath pinktoe is A. braunshaseni. I have those too :p

I have a question about G.rosea enclosure:confused: my rosea hasnt ate or came out of her cage for a week now and I feel like its her enclosure that she isnt happy with.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/jaja3a4y.jpg
I am using coconut husk as a substrate and it's bit wet. Not drippy at all. How dry do they like?

That looks like a 10 gal tank. How big is your Rosea? How long has she been in it? I keep mine fairly dry for larger Ts but my little ones I keep moist to the touch not really damp. We maybe able to help a little more with some more details. She maybe getting ready to molt. Idk need more info.

Of course, actually I'd appreciated it. I recently posted regarding about it but ill repost here. So I got G.rosea about a week ago and this petco worker told me its 8-9months old but he lied. Some of the people from forum said it should be couple years old due to its size. Heres some image.http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/a9yjugyg.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/uvu2u5ag.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/a8yry2ev.jpghttp://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/09/01/ru7u8ate.jpg

Sorry for spamming image guys but shes just beautiful..:D

Everything I've read on rose hairs they like it bone dry with a water dish. I've looked them up a lot because I have one and I too stressed about it fasting, but like Mike said, they're notorious for it. Mine went a solid 2 years without eating and was fine, I offered every other week. He finally molted and started to eat.

We love pictures!

Best info you'll read for a G. rosea

Any tips drying coconut husk bone dry? Tried using some lights bu5 wont work

If it has a screen lid, I would just let it dry out on its own. So you are not moving her in and out. Maybe pill up a little hill of dry substrate for her to sit on.

Wheel Bug :) wouldn't hold still

Molt or dead?? I'm staying away from that genus until these guys get some size. Seems like they're bad luck

Dead, I have no idea what happen. They were both doing really good. The other one seems fine.

Man that sucks Rich. I know how you feel though. :(

Thats exactly how it was with my BF. The other 2 are still fine. I'm staying away from that genus.

Good luck with your skeleton legs damon lol

I hate not knowing what went wrong.

Guys the LVs are awesome. They have some insane tunnels going on. They have moved more dirt in 2 days then most move in 2 weeks.

My bb versi molted again!! Shes gettin bigger :D

sent from my incubator

My versis aren't growing for jack and the eat every 5 days :(

My female skeleton leg is doing great! She's out and about almost every night now but during the day she's hiding in her web between the enclosure and sponge bobs house. :)

my versis still haven't arrived yet :p

Waiting to try and convince parents (read: father) about tarantulas...any ideas??

Most of my versi have molts wrapped in webs so I can't get them out and I'm loosing track.

Crystal, can you guess her size?
Mine are eating once a week, a mix of dubia and crickets.

Umm....id say 3/4"? Close to an inch? Maybe? Ill take a pic tonite with a ruler for more accurate size.

sent from my incubator

Cool. Mine are about the same size. I think there are a couple that are still behind a molt.
I like that will all have sac mates to compare.

Yea my versi eats once a week usually but is growing slow as hell. Not a huge avic fan.

A tip to deal with situations like that is to make him talk. Ask him why he wouldn't want you to get one and make him explain. Most of what he's basing his opinion on probably isn't entirely accurate so afterwards be sure to explain everything and present the facts. Then ask him again.

I'm gonna try and bring it up today at lunch...I'll keep you apprised of the situation

Good luck, dude!

Buy your dad a T and get him hooked, then you won't have to worry anymore.

Nice carlson!

And thank you :)

Tell him to call me maybe. I'm a great salesman

So the word is:

If I can clean my cat box daily for the next 30 days, when the expo comes around he'll probably say yes.



I have such a hard time keeping up with my feline friends....herps and inverts are so much easier lol

Ditch the cat, get more T's and snakes! :p

No can do

She's my baby....had her for almost 13 years....

Think I killed the thread for tonight lol
