at face value sounds easy but, if you could only have 1..... what T would you have?
Can be something you have/had or want.

For me I'd say my goal is a P. Metallica , but I need a lot more experience before I get one.

I have to agree on the P.met. Mine has been with me just over 4 years, she's always on view right at the front of her terrarium and has no fear. Add to that the beautiful colouring and there is no way I could ever part with her.

So far not good. Enn agrees with Metallica which I don't think I can get yet but want. And panzo says Euathlus sp red which I really want but can't find lol.

P. met was my 2nd T, my 1st was an OBT. I started at the wrong end of the "ladder" :D. The sp. Red is an adorable little T, full of character, no fear but ohhh sooo slow growing that you need the patience of a Saint.

Tough question, but if I didn't have an H. Sp. red/fire (E. Sp. red), it wouldn't feel right.

Forgot to ask. What is the Chilean flame (Euathlus sp red) classified as? I can't find one anywhere , wonder if I'm searching for wrong thing

Try Homoeoma sp Fire although I think most people still refer to them by their old name of Euathlus sp red.

There is no way I can answer this. No way. Its hurting my brain even considering the notion of only having one.

I like so many of them and for so many different reasons. Right now the favorite in my collection is the little C. versicolor. It came as an unexpected freebie on an order. I didn't even order it! The way it moves around exploring its world is about the most adorable and likable thing I've ever seen. I just received an A. purpurea today and it is running around looking as adorable as the versicolor. I'm in spider heaven!

Yep, I have a Euathlus sp Red and an Euathlus sp Yellow, I got both from Jamie's Tarantulas a few years back

I'm in uk and I can't find either anywhere. I did manage to get hold of a sling but it didn't make it (don't know what happened) went back to seller to see if they had any more and all sold

I'm hoping to pick one up at western invert show next month Fingers crossed

You can’t find them becauss they’re NOWHERE apperently... can you tell I want one too?

I’d have to toss a coin between GBB and P rufilata. I love the web architecture from the GBB but my ufilata has a decent amount of personality. I’ll look one minute and she’s out just sitting there. Two minutes later she’s hiding in her cork tube and 10 minutes later she’s back out hanging on the front of the enclosure.

I know I'm hoping to get lucky and will be going to western and eastern shows. My main goals from them are to hopefully find an Euathlus sp red/yellow and I'm also looking for a c versicolor. I have looked at getting a gbb and would imagine I'll have one soon

Gotta have Pamphobeteus species, at least one.

Persephone that's why.jpg


They're amazing.
