Now i know what to expect. cant wait man. it will also be my first Dwarf. never really had any interest in the Dwarfs but looks like it all is changing now.

Trust me when i say that the other dwarfs are much prettier: Cyriocosmus elegans (Trinidad dwarf tiger rump)
Cyriocosmus leetzi (Columbian Drawf )
Heterothele villosella (Tanzanian Chestnut)

I agree Dimitri, they are beautiful, but the fact that the H. Overdijki is one of our own local species is what makes it so special to me.

I think we have some of the most amazing spiders here, just sad that we cant keep them, to use Ceratogyrus as an example, he has some really beautiful and interesting local baboon spiders....(drool)

agree the fact that its local and not in every petshop is what lured me to it. but i must say that the hobby has become more that just keeping pets for me and that i am starting to collect seriously. So the dwarfs will be included soon. Hendrik has quite a few for sale and will be buying as much as possible from him.

Sounds like we have the same idea Klippie, i have also had my first T`s for 6 years as pets now, but starting to collect much more serious now!

The more you get, the more you want, there is such a big variety of species and sub species, and that makes it even more exciting!!!

Keeping T`s is just so addictive and really rewarding!!
