What would you get?

[del9800]

I'm thinking of getting a Poecilotheria miranda or a Cyriopagopus sp. sumatran tiger. What would you get? Hoping y'all can help me make that decision.

Thanks

I’d go for the Miranda

Pokie hands down

What do you like?
Those two species have nothing in common!?
I would take a Psalmopoeus!

P. miranda. The Cyriopagopus is certainly beautiful, but it's also very reclusive and you will probably only rarely see it. I've seen mine a whopping 3 times since I got it 4 months ago.

I'd choose the tarantula I wanted the most.

And that is the reason I havent owned a Cyriopagopus. I dont want a pet hole, Ive always loved my Pokies.

Any other old world arboreal sp. you will recommend?

I like Heteroscodra maculata, but you will hardly get to see this species either. But if it does, then it's just awesome!

It's the chance you take with any tarantula really although I know what you mean. I have pokies that are super reclusive yet others have them and they're out on show loads.

Cyriopagopus sp Bach Ma was a dream tarantula for me. When I found 1 for sale I bought her knowing I'd probably never get to see more than her legs once she'd settled.

But to my surprise she's out in her enclosure most nights. And so long as I'm extremely careful I'm even able to get pics, albeit with my phone and a small LED torch from outside her enclosure. But that's far more than I ever thought I'd get. But if course you could get a Cyriopagopus sp that you literally would have a burrow you fed.

If you dont mind having to look for it or just not see it, get the Cyrio....if visibility is important, get the pokie.

schioedtei is a stunning option....reclusive, sure...but a real treat to see none-the-less.

Your bach ma is stunning!

Your bach ma is stunning!

All Bach Ma are stunning.

I would take Miranda, one of the best looking pokies. (better than metallica imo)

Neither
