[James Box]

welcome Dave and Tristan!
Dave, they'll be loads of tables to choose from, so chances are you'll find what you're looking for at any number of them. i'd say look around a bit and chat to those of us there to see if we've seen good/cheap specimens, and you'll hopefully find what you're after.
Lee from the spidershop tends to have Ceratogyrus spp...so that's one place to check.

Dave, I hope to have some slings of C darlingi by then, first sac failed or I would have had a few now, I will have a table there with self bred spiderlings for sale.....CHEAP. At BTS I might add

G'day Guys
My name is Jon, and I'm a keeper from Oz. I have noticed a steady influx of new members from the BTS joining the Australian Tarantula Forum, so I decided to invade your forum as well, lol . A little about myself, I have been keeping theraphosids for about 7 years now, around the same time as the hobby was picking up pace here in Australia, with my favourite T being the Selenotypus Plumipes (similar to a C.Crawshayi in appearance and reaches about the same size). Exciting times lay ahead for keepers here in Oz, and for members on this site that don't know, recently they have discovered a new giant sp that gets as large as the worlds biggest T's here in Australia so for those that haven't read up on it, feel free to visit our Australian Tarantula Association Forum as well. I would like to learn more about new world T's you guys are allowed to keep, so be warned that I will probably ask quite a few questions in upcoming posts very soon
Cheers Guys
Jon

Hey Jon

Seems to be the time for swapping info, i've just, after a bit of a reminder with Brendan posting here, registered with the ATA.

Picking brains from both sides of the world sounds like a great idea.
