Your First Old World Tarantula?

[Tia B]

Ik I'm an idiot but it was cheap so I bought it, also I have some of the faster more aggressive NWs so I'm not totally a noob but yes I understand that H.macs are not the best

Give them adequate room and hiding places and you'll be fine. Try to keep them in bigger enclosures than you generally would for a sling/juvie of that size so you don't have to rehouse as quickly. You always have the boards for assistance.

H. macs are always one of the cheapest ts available on the planet...people breeding them can't give them away. Possible the worst, or one of the top 5 worst beginner OW species of all time...super advanced species.

My first was A. ezendami...one of the best OW starter species.

There are faster NWs, like Tapi's. More defensive than H. macs from the NW..hmmm such as?

There's a reason they are so cheap.

My first old world was Cyriopagopus Vonwirthi. I seriously love old world species and I can’t wait to get more, as of right now I only have 2

I have an E.murinus that is super skidish and defensive and I've also kept Tapinauchenius gigas

You can't get any faster than a Tapi, most would agree. The murinus, skittish yes, but nothing compared to H. mac. Good luck!

That is a NW species..... :wideyed:

Is it?!

 

[BoyFromLA]

Since @viper69, and @Tia B corrected me on Ephebopus cyanognathus, it is then Encyocratella olivacea my first OW tarantula.

 

[Greasylake]

My first old world was P. Miranda, same one that's in my profile pic. Second one was this C. Fimbriatus.

 

[The Grym Reaper]

Mine was a Chilobrachys huahini that I got as a surprise freebie after only 4 months in the hobby

Pics? Oh, go on then (she's moulted since these and is about 4" but they're the most recent I have)...

[Ungoliant]

So I bought my first ow today it's an H.mac 1/2 inch sling, i offered her food and she took it immediately, I was just wondering wondering what some of your first OWs were

Update, I found out recently my Ceratogyrus is a Ceratogyrus Marshalli

 

[CitizensOfTheWomb]

My first was a Harpactira pulchripes.

 

[Otteresting]

I started with a Chilobrachys sp. Vietnam blue, only 2 months after I get into creepy crawlies. I wanted something fast to begin with OW, but finally, never had any problem with her

I named her Nanachi in reference to an anime (Made In Abyss), where caracters are all meant to dig

Received 04/11/2017 from Spidersworld


And now, 4 months afterward, 21/03/2018 (she molted twice in my care)


Soon getting an OBT to step up

 

[NukaMedia Exotics]

My first OW is an A. ezendami sling.
