The ones that I do not currently own, for obvious reasons!Id really like to hear your least favorite species and why
Sounds like you got some unusual specimens of the species. Most of the ones I have seen are much more attentive to their homes and are good eaters.I guess I might be the only one who says C. cyaneopubescens. Don't get me wrong, because I do love my girls and I'm not going to part with them, but they are probably my least favorite. The bright colors don't appeal to me at all - understated and more subtle coloring is what I find the most attractive. My girls are very skittish, although they have never been defensive. They never want to eat and have no enthusiasm to do so.
I got them because I wanted someone who webbed. It took forever for them to do so and now all their webbing is looking dingy and neglected and it's an eyesore. It used to look lovely and now it's just dirty and pathetic looking.

Use 2oz souffle cups. When the water level drops use long handled tweezers to pull the old one out and place a new one in. Makes the risk of touching the setae virtually non-existent while at the same time makes cleaning the water dish a breeze since all you have to do is a quick swap.With regard to the subject of hairs, I guess I need to start wearing gloves when changing out water dishes, but these bad habits are hard to break.
