but i dont blame you. i recently got into tarantulas too
I see you have an H. arizonensis, I tried many months trying to get one but no luck, so I gave up. Had I been able to get one, I would have kept that one at the very least.
So I switched my order... Brachys and Grammys aren't that exciting despite the fact they are very pretty to look at. So I chose Ts with more activity and attitudes.
Ceratogyrus darlingi (East African Horned Baboon)
I've been told these guys are nowhere near as nasty as the infamous OBT, so I decided to give at least one Old World species a chance.
Cyclosternum fasciatum (Costa Rican Tiger Rump)
This is like the "humid" cousin of the beautiful Green Bottle Blue. Not as colorful as a GBB, but pretty nonetheless and it seems they are great webbers.
Lasiodora parahybana (Brazillian Salmon Pink Birdeater)
Why get a T. blondi when I can get something a whole lot hardier, prettier and less of a pet hole ? Speedy growth, great appetite were enough to get me to buy one, considering slings are dirt cheap.
The moment I get back into scorps, I'm diving straight in with B. jacksoni and Androctonus. Tho that won't happen for a few years and I can only hope I'll keep learning good husbandry practices with my various Ts.
