•poecilotheria subfusca
•a cool looking pamp
•either lampropelma sp borneo black or nigerimum
•one of the 'skeleton' tarantulas
•avicularia diversipes

Think they will look cool

Unfortunately didn't see the 2012 calender as the hobby for me really only kicked off this year, so I am not sure what is in it.

Pokies is always a great idea.
X Immanis
M Robustum
Maybe one of the earth tigers
A local or two incl the C Darlingi

Rufilata always has my vote,then minax, diversipes, more pokies,some pamhos

While they're not the "prettiest" of tarantula's, after watching a documentary on them, I quite like the Australian tarantulas (from the genera Selenocosmia, Selenotholus, Selenotypus and Phlogiellus).

Most are just shades of brown, with a heavy body being a distinctive feature.
What is impressive though is that they're very aggressive and/or defensive, with great defensive posturing.

A specific request, not sure if its been used before, is to have a Xenesthis immanis for December ! :happy:

1. Encyocratella olivacea
2. Brachypelma emilia
3. Haplopelma minax
4. Stromatopelma calceatum !!!!!
5. Pamphobeteus platypomma (MM) !!!!!
6. Aphonopelma seemani !!!!!
7. Idiothele mira !!!!!
8. Avicularia diversipes
9. Megaphobema robustum
10. Phormictopus cancerides !!!!!
11. Poecilotheria subfusca (highland)
12. Cyriopagopus sp. "sulawesi black" !!!!!

So far these will be on:

1. Brachypelma emilia (Mexican Redleg)
2. Grammostola pulchra (Brazilian Black)
3. Stromatopelma calceatum (Featherleg Baboon)
4. Poecilotheria rufilata (Redslate Ornamental) or Poecilotheria pederseni (Pederson's Ornamental)
5. Tapinauchenius gigas (Orange Treespider)
6. Pamphobeteus vespertinus (Ecuadorian Red Bloom)
7. Harpactira hamiltoni

So far looking good.
