A. Breyeri vs A. Junodi

[Arakawa]

I recently talked to a breeder who needed a subadult chromatus (male) and made me choose some T slings to trade for the chroma. After much deliberating, I decided to either get 1. An a.breyeri + b emilia or 2. an A.junodi + N.Tripepii or a KBT.

Can you guys help me choose? N. Tripepii has been on my wishlist for some time and i do have alot of brachys already so im not sure if i want an emilia (soo pretty though!). The main selling point for me are the augacephalus sp. baboons. I want to know which one ( a breyeri / a.junodi) you guys prefer. from my research breyeri is much more yellow which i like but these are just from photos as i could not find content on youtube so it might be filtered. The size (assuming fem) would also be a consideration (bigger better!). Temperament is no big deal as I personally love baboons (no urt hairs and very colorful). Growth rate is probably similar for both augacephalus sp. but i was curious about N tripepii, emilia is a brachy so its probably gonna take a few years. If there are no good comments on the augacephalus ill probably get the kbt lol. I just want to focus on the augacephalus sp. because this breeder is the only one ive seen here that has them.

Breyeri is more colourful and rare.

Junodi is extremely similar to ezendami.

If it was me, I’d go for breyeri 110%

I find B. emilia to be one of the cutest looking, plus its species name adds to the cuteness. There is my hobbyist opinion.

How big do breyeri get? I heard females mature around 3.5-4 inches so a small encloure would be enough as an adult

Gotta get the tripepii whatever you do.

emilia ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!! A classic looking morphology, with a distinctive looking carapace.

4” max

4” max

are a.junodi similar or do they get bigger? Im leaning towards a junodi and tripepii

also would small baboon sp. (augacephalus, balf etc) be okay in 12x7x6 enlosures or would it be too large. Thats the size I use for my adult boehmei and it seems fine for a 5-6" tarantula. If 12x7x6 would not be ideal would 7x6x6 be better? Also i have an OBT & Marshalli sling, how big do they get on average

The same. I meant to say 5” max but it is pretty rare for any Augacehalus sp to get that big. The average adult female will be around 4”. Males of this species mature very small. Around the 2.5” mark.

I dont see any enclosure as too large. But if the enclosure is large for the specimen housed in it then they tend to act more reclusive. Especially burrowing sp.

OBT will get to around 5” DLS and marshalli can reach 6”
