    Thank you. She may be my favorite, although with as carefully as I had to pick these species over the years they are all pretty much my favorites for different reasons. The m. balfouri is the only one I’m kind of “meh” about, but when I do get to see it on rare occasions it is also quite impressive.

    Pure breed A.Breyeri

    Sorry I completely forgot about this thread. Here are a few although she is much more orange in person. Had to take these with flash which washes out the color.

    I’ve been collecting tarantulas for about 10 years. Due to frequent military relocations, I’ve had to be very selective and restrained about how many Ts I keep. I’ve managed to keep it to these 8 species as of today. I think they all offer something unique with minimal “redundancy” (I know all...

    When is a good time for a "beginner" to go for a Psalmopoeus irminia?

    I agree with that statement. I was trying to decide between irminia and cambridgei a few years ago and everyone talked me into cambridgei because irminia have a tendency to be reclusive. Hopefully yours isn’t a hider as is grows because they are striking. If you decide on another down the road...

    New T’s

    Those are some very nice choices. Gotta love the GBBs!

    Preferred feeders (that aren't dubia roaches)?

    I tend to favor horn worms. They serve as a good sized meal and you don’t have to worry about them burrowing if the T doesn’t immediately eat.

    A.Breyeri sling very slow movement

    What have you tried feeding it so far and how long have you had it?

    Pure breed A.Breyeri

    I don’t have any recent pics of mine but as soon as she comes out tonight I’ll try to get one for you.

    Defensive What to Do?

    Definitely let her chill out for a bit. My geniculata goes through moods as well, most of the time she is fine but every once in a while she throws a threat posture at the slightest disturbance. One thing I appreciate about the species is that she never retreats to her burrow when startled.

    snowflakes

    It’s hard to tell from the pics, but even if it is mold it shouldn’t cause any issues. Try to remove it and let your substrate dry out.

    Your first pokey

    My first was a p. regalis sling. Honestly the only thing it taught me is that pokie care is over hyped a bit. He is pretty mellow and has never shown any hint of aggression. The next I got was a p. Subfusca and my experience with her has been very similar.

    Psalmopoeus cambridgei and irminia slings difference

    Are those pictures of one you own or at a local pet store?

    What new world T should i add?

    If you’re just looking to add another T, I recommend a p. cambridgei based on what you already have. Not an OW but it would be a great addition to your collection. Arboreal, no hairs, quick growing, look pretty cool. Mine is always out and active.

    gbb not nocturnal? and question about Hapalopus sp. colombia

    I think most Ts are mostly active at dawn and dusk. My GBB never hides though.

    When is a good time for a "beginner" to go for a Psalmopoeus irminia?

    Have you thought about getting a cambridgei instead? It’s probably my favorite T I own, always out and active and looks very cool.

    Whats your favorite T as far a “Personality”?

    It’s a toss up for me. I love my a. Geniculata and p. Cambridgei for different reasons. Both are very active and never refuse a meal. The geniculata is just so impressive with its size and attitude.

    making the dive..

    my favorite old world in my collection is my female a. Breyeri. Beautiful coloration and she’s pretty chill, not very reclusive either.
