Depends on price, but please sell Cyriopagopus albostriatus/ Haplopelma minax. I would 100% buy (depending on shipping prices tho)

 

If you were to sell those, how much?

Will you only breed one species, or all that have been voted for?

I have helped with breeding projects before. That’s why I’m starting with easier ones first. I’ll probably start breeding obts soon for a friend of mine so I guess your answer is yes. Also know that you probably won’t see all of these species selling for another year or so.

What's nice about P. metallica compared to other pokies, is that it is smaller, prettier, and I have heard people say it is less aggressive too.

In my opinion/experience, they are just as aggressive as other pokies and they are boltier too.

Might have just been my T though, I can't really speak for every single tarantula in the species :)

I've never kept them, but I heard from multiple people that theirs were much more docile than their other pokies. However, with every animal it depends on the individual.

I don't know if this is really what this post is asking, but I would really like some sort of arboreal tarantula, preferably one with striking coloration. I'd probably start off with something more simple like a pinktoe of some sort, but eventually I'd love to get an ornamental, preferably a Gooty Sapphire Ornamental. I currently own a Mexican Fireleg that I've had for 7 years now, and I've had a Rosehair in the past, so a change of species ecology would be nice. I'm gradually peaking back into the hobby to see what's new, so another tarantula could very well be in my future.

I have had a little project in the background you could say. I have a little 1 inch baby C. versicolor and I may get some Metallicas which is the gooty sapphire.

I second this. I would love an arboreal. A pinktoe (Those are avics right?) would be cool. I used to have one of those but it matured out as a male.

Depends on price, but solely going off species I would say P. irminia. I once saw them at a reptile expo in 2019 for like 20 bucks and to this day I still regret not getting some slings lol

That species is beautiful. Second choice would be C. versicolor :)

P. irminia is going to have a worse temperament, but husbandry is easier.
