Pamphobeteus and A. Geniculata

[Ungoliant]

Which one kicks hairs the most? Is the most defensive? Most visible?

I haven't kept any Pamphobeteus, but my Acanthoscurria geniculata has only flicked hairs at me once, and that was because I had slipped a mylar ribbon through the ventilation slits to see if he'd "play" like Bulldozer (my Grammostola pulchra) or Squirt (my Psalmopoeus cambridgei). He did not like the ribbon.

He is always out on display, usually hanging around his water dish. He's pretty amusing to watch.

Care is really similar...so is appetite and growth rate...Pamphs may have a slight edge on size, but both typically are large....genic is more striking to see....yet somehow for me, Pamphs remain top dawg when it comes to terrestrial NWs.

I like phamphos a lot just wish I had more , p antinous had so my health problems. And it was Crazy on anSelf distruct mission, maybe I just got unlucky or weak individuals.
Lasiodora are way harder , but not as bulky .
I’d say a genic is best of both worlds !!!
Despite hairs bothering me phamphos were my favorite just miss my antinous and my phampho sp I couldn’t identify female that got dks.
Heck the seller had. K idea what he had
