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 ) 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 () be arriving today. Expect a nice feeding video some time next week

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

My Poecilotheria metallica is a male I am pretty sure (third P. metallica I have owned and third one to be a male ), 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 They are still pretty and it happens some times so what can you do you know 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)...
