help wanted

can anyone give a few ideas as what t to get?? ive got already
nhandu chromatus
b-smithi
grammosta rosea
and if all goes ok 2 versicolor from peter..

but i want another one too, this bug has got me big time now,lol

How about another avic?
Or another Brachypelma sp maybe?

yes i was thinking along the lines of a Brachypelma sp, they would be ok for a novice like me wouldnt they, lol
and i do like them.... hmm
thanx..

Maybe Emilia or Boehmei(Be warned these flick like mad) lol.

how about a Greenbottle blue? They are a bit faster than your Grammy or Brachy, but tend to run or flick rather than bite, and they spin really cool webs all over the place.

this will most likely sound silly to all you lot but ive never seen a greenbottle blue...
i like the sound of them though, lol

Yeah I agree Lisa mines abit speedy at times but is docile tbh a few times when moving it or redoing the tank it has been handled and is fine.
They also have amazing colouring.

and oh yeh, i want a curly again..... i will soon catch up at this rate, lol

I haven't got some ages back but weren't great so I deleted them I think..

Heres a link to one http://www.flickr.com/photos/coolsox/3188946690/

My avatar is a baby GBB Chrissy, as slings they have little stripy bums, really cute.

Then as adults they look like this

thanx for the link peter,
and lisa the pic is fab, i realy like this spid, i think my mind is made up, just need to find one now, lol
thank for the help guys, xxx

How bout a little golden knee. Coco is a sweetheart

Ooooo so many to choose from!

How about a Psalmopoeus species? Irminia? cambridgei or my fav pulcher! Gorgeous arboreal spiders. But they are bloomin' quick!

Or.... Poecilotheria sp. Get one from a sling and you'll get more confident as it grows

Or of course i'm biased as to go with a Brachypelma species! STUNNING spiders. I have over 20 of them... they're by far my favourites Easy to keep and look after, docile though they may flick. The only downside being that they grow slowly. But raising one from a sling to adult would be a real achievement

OMG i want them all, lol lol
i have just been to buy some crickets and ended up bringing a B-smithi home with me too, only a tiny one about the size of a 10p, couldnt leave it there could i...lol my OH just sighed and said "i knew it" lol
still want more though, this smithi was just an extra one, hehehe

Congrats on the new arrival. good choice too Smithi's are lovely

ive got 2 now, its hard to beleve that my first was ever that small, shes HUGE compared to this baby one, lol

I always think how small my Salmon Pink is, especially when i look at the label that says ' birdeater' I cannot imagine it EVER living up to that name lol

lol, it will one day im sure, lol
theres so many i want, ive got into these little critters big time now..lol

once you start there's no stopping lol

yep, im just finding this out for myself hun, lol lol

You'll end up picking up lots of Brachys and Avics at T meetings and shows, so i'd go for a Psalmopoeus cambridgei, Lee has some at the spidershop and they are a beautiful sp, who don't have the sometimes nasty temperament of the irminia. Whilst they are quick specimens they are also very speedy growers and you can expect an adult/subadult from slings in 2 years! Very easy to care for and I find one of the most rewarding to keep.

oh thanx for that hun, sounds realy good to me, im going to end up with 50 at this rate,

How about a B. albopilosum - Honduran Curly Hair £12
Becky has pix of one on this forum

or P. ornata - Fringed Ornamental £6
for your first introduction into Pokies - easier to keep than Avics, just need a little more respect.

or B. vagans - Mexican Red Rump £6
I think Becky has a pic of one of these too

pm me if you're interested.

I'd definitely go for a Psalmopoeus . I've got 2 camdridgei , 2 pulcher and an irminia . Only had the 1 cambridgei for any length of time . Got it September last year as a sling of approx 1-1 1/2 cm it's now got a leg span of approx 5'' . It spends most of it's time in it's web and substate nest but I love watching it whenever it's out and about .
