    Talking help!!

    Long story short, I'm getting another tarantula

    Here's the thing: the local breeder/dealer (Tarantula Canada) have a few that I'm interested in, and I don't know which to get! If it were up to me, I'd get them all, but funds and my situation only allow for one right now (I might try to push for two, but not sure if I can find enough money between the couch cushions for that haha)

    Here are the ones I'm thinking of:
    3" female Maraca horrida
    1.5" female Metriopelma zebratum (dwarf species)
    4" female Hysterocrates sp. ederi
    Or I could always go for another one of their 3" G. Pulchripes (love those guys!)

    Input is much appreciated, I'm terrible at decision making!
    1.0 Normal - Maynard
    1.0 POG - Victor
    0.1 YB - Diana

    0.1 Pastel Boa - Astrid
    1.0 Salmon Boa -

    1.1 Leopard Geckos

    I don't have any of those species so can't help you on your decision making BUT I would LOVE to have a dwarf species one day, soon I hope.

    I have never kept any of the ones you said other then the pulchripes so I am of no help either - lol. But since you already have a pulchripes to enjoy I would say pick one out of the others. But If you really wanted two pulchripes there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with that either because they are awesome

    This.

    If it were me I would get another pulchripes. But if I were to do more research into the others that decision might change. I say go with the one that really stands out to you.
