Melissa Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 So I have 3 tarantulas, Hank, Owen, and a wee little sling with no name...it is my tiny pet rock Hank, my B.smithi Owen, sold to me as a a.metallica but I personally believe she is a hybrid as to a few other T breeders/enthusiasts B.albopilosa my tiny pet rock of a sling I hope to in the future get an a.versicolor again, I had one but it died in molt which was sad as I had it as a tiny sling and it finally matured into adult colors. And a G.pulchripes. There are other species I would like, but I know those two for sure I will have in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigtoach Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Just curious, What makes u think your a. Metallica is a hybrid? Usually the toes are more white and not quite as pink as say an a. Avicularia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thomas Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Very nice Ts I would totally recommend a Grammostola puchripes. I have two and they are both wonderful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pannaking22 Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 I'm curious to why you think your A. metallica is a hybrid as well. It looks like the male I have now. And I agree with Thomas, G. pulchripes is always a good option Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree with Thomas, G. pulchripes is always a good option Can current species sold hybridize? Imagine a red knee mixed with cobalt blue, awesome!

RomanBuck Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Those colors would be AMAZING!!! I would hope that if they were to hybridize that the attitude of the red knee would dominate that of the cobalt blue! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockpython Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Nice T's Roman! I've had 3 B. Smithi and they were all great! I've had a pink toe, too, also great! I don't know the other one... I am talking to TCR about special ordering a P. Ornata and an L. Hybana.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salmonsaladsandwich Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I thought that hybridizing was greatly frowned upon in the tarantula nut community... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RomanBuck Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 It is but we are just saying that the outcome would be pretty awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
