Short legs, heavy bodied, and big

[D Sherlod]

Title basically describes what I'm looking for next.. in short a Tank!!

Any and all ideas and recommendations.

Thanks

P. antinous, G. anthracina
those are the two i can think of but i can't think of many that are big with short legs

Pamphobeteus antinous are leggy.

Pamphobeteus antinous are leggy.

Yeah, i just can't really think of any that fit the "Short legs" description
P Antinous is quite large though and is the most "Tank-like" T i've seen

 

[basin79]

Adult female Pelinobius muticus are tank like. But they're the embodiment of a pet hole.

 

[basin79]

Also not massive but adults aren't small. Grammostola pulchra. They're stocky looking.

 

[Pythonipus]

Crocodylus porosus, not a T but fits the description

Oh, you. You posted your list while I was asking what you had.

What about T. stirmi or Nhandu tripepii?

I see you've already got some tanks in the collection.

 

[Nightstalker47]

Most of the large NW terrestrials grow into very stocky females.

T.stirmi

Nhandu females get pretty bulky even in the early stages. N.tripepi
AF chromatus

You definitely can't count out P.cancerides.

 

[D Sherlod]

The Nhandu tripepI is the the closest I've seen so far.
It's easy to find large, just hard to find less leggy.

Neither have short legs, esp a stirmi Perhaps you didn't read his subject of thread?

I'm not a tarantula but from what I'm extrapolating from the title- I'm what you're looking for...

Look at this thicc girl (Grammostola pulchra). She isn't huge, but she is stocky.

 

[boina]

Well, you could add to your Lasiodora collection and get a klugi.

For diversity, I think you are lacking in Grammostola. G. pulchra would fit the description, but possibly also G. actaeon, if you can find one. They are a darker, stockier iheringi.

Sericopelma sp. is a rarer genus that get reasonably large and not as leggy as Pamphos.

Nhandu has been mentioned already - both tripepii and chromatus are not that long legged.

Correct, but if you'll notice his list of 'currently owned' there are quite a few that already fit his description. Pickin's are getting slim with his criteria.

Good suggestions, by the way! I can't believe I didn't think of the ones you recommend.

 

[BoyFromLA]

What about Brachypelma schroederi?

 

[D Sherlod]

Thanks for suggestions .....just not seeing anything that quite fits the image I have in mind.

Maybe it hasn't been discovered yet

 

[dangerforceidle]

Maybe you'd be interested in some of the non-Theraphosid Mygalomorphae -- like a trap-door species? The issue there is size as they don't get very big. Their proportions are very tank-like, however.

It doesn't exist or isn't known. You have to think about it, short legs for a tarantula??
