Info on a few tarantula species?

[black_sun]

I'm looking into getting another tarantula and have come across a few that I'm really interested in. I was wondering if anyone could offer more personal experience on any of these species. Or suggest a species that may be a better alternative (I'm looking for something fairly interesting in appearance, would prefer something not completely reclusive and not overtly aggressive. But doesn't necessarily have to fall into those categories.)

So far, I'm really interested in the Cobalt Blue Tarantula (Haplopelma lividum), Skeleton Tarantula (Ephebopus murinus) and Greenbottle Blue Tarantula (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens).

Cobalts and green bottle blues are both evil incarnate
awesome critters

Skeletons I don't know much about but the ones I have seen are rather boring and just kinda sit there...

I have a greenbottle blue but its still a small. Have you looked into any avic.'s ? I have a few and they are amazing T's imo

If I could find it for sale, I'd buy this Avic - http://www.care-sheet.com/index/File:Avicularia_fasciculata.jpg

Now, that's a gorgeous creature!

That's a baby...they don't keep that coloration....
As far as being able to find one (or virtually any other tarantula species you might want)

Best site I have found for reasonably priced Tarantulas... and hundreds to choose from.

Oh, you had to show me that link... now there's a good handful of tarantulas I want. The Pumpkin Patch one is really cool!

Thanks for the link!

one of the coolest t's ive ever encountered was a skeleton. if you like the aggresive colorfull t's then you might like the gooty ornamentals and usambara baboons, as well as avicularia versicolor-martinique pinktoe. i am thinking of getting a a. versicolor or something similar to put in a small tank on my desk.
