As a newbie, I am loving this. I'm highlighting each choice & google searching it. I am learning so much here, reading the various posts.

I cannot do 4. But I have decided one, that I have decided I really want as a sling. Euathlus sp. red, now renamed Homoeomma Chilensis.

 

[Avicularia Kael]

A. sp. Kwitara
B. albopilosum
C. darlingi
I. mira

Thank you, I will have a look. I did not see them there when I looked a few days ago. Everything I have read about the Chilensis says it's the T for me. It is not the biggest, or the most beautiful. But it has a personality that is different to most.

They're the biggest of the dwarf species but yeah not as large as other Ts. They aren't the most colourful or striking but they're very cute and inquisitive. As slings they are very very small thou and grown very slowly. I've had my sling for around a year and it molted recently and it's still tiny.

Thanks. I don't want to head too far off the thread topic. But I will be ordering one of these very soon. I go to look at an adult someone is selling on Saturday & then I'll sort out a spiderling & I have the Chilensis at thespidershop in my favourites list now. Thanks.

Feel free to derail. A good thread generates discussion, I'm not gonna cry if the discussion takes a mind of its own. Glad to hear the thread has helped you learn about some new species

Stellar lists everyone, notice how I didn't include mine because its way too hard for me to decide lmao I can narrow it down to 3 for each category, that's the best I can do

 

[Rs50matt]

I wanted to inclued E Campestratus for new world terrestrial but imo nothing can trump H Chilensis . If it was possible to only pick 4 then people wouldn't have collections of 100's

It would have been cool to add a true spider as well...maybe next time.
