Can somebody please post a list for me. I am wanting to know which family of T's are arboreal and which are terrestrial. I already know the Avicularia and Poecilotheria are arboreal, but what other genus out there are also arboreal? I also know that Aphonopelma, Brachypelma, and Grammostola are terrestrail, but what other genus are terrestrial?



Arboreal:
Avicularia
Cyriopagopus
Encyocratella
Heteroscodra
Iridopelma
Lampropelma
Pachistopelma
Phormingochilus
Poecilotheria
Psalmopoeus
Stromatopelma
Tapinauchenius

Terrestrial:
Acanthoscurria
Aphonopelma
Augacephalus
Bonnetina
Brachypelma
Ceratogyrus
Chilobrachys
Chromatopelma
Citharischius
Cyclosternum
Cyriocosmus
Cyrtopholis
Ephebopus (semi arboreal)
Euathlus
Eupalaestrus
Grammostola
Haplopelma
Hysterocrates
lasiodora
Megaphobema
Monocentropus
Nhandu
Orphnaecus
Pamphobeteus
Paraphysa
Phormictopus
Pterinochilus (semi arboreal)
Theraphosa

I will just keep updating my original post when you guys list a name and if it is terrestrial or arboreal.

There will be a point where you cannot edit your original post. i don't know if it is based on time, or posts done after; but you can not indefinitely change your post. FYI:D

Avicularia, Cyriopagopus, Encyocratella, Iridopelma, Heteroscodra, Lampropelma, Pachistopelma, Phormingochilus, Poecilotheria, Psalmopoeus, Stromatopelma, Tapinauchenius are all arboreal.

Members of the genus Ephebopus may exhibit arboreal behaviour in various life-stages.

According to a recent article, Cyriocosmus ritae may lead an arboreal lifestyle.

I know squat about Selenocosmiinae. The list is not complete, feel free to add.

Pterinochilus - terrestrial/arboreal
I'd rather say that P. murinus is good at adapting to different conditions, but I wouldn't, in any case, call them arboreal, and most definitely not the genus Pterinochilus as a whole.

Here's a list from KTBG's website http://www.kenthebugguy.com/SpeciesByGenus.php that may not be complete, but may be better than all of us just randomly posting terrestrial or arboreal. Most of the Genus' on this list are not in the hobby, but a little bit of internet searching can clear out the most uncommon and answer most of the question that you have.

Agreed, I have about 10 or 12 and roughly half of them exibit arboreal behavior and the other half terrestrial behavior. Thanks for clarifying.

I, for one, wasn't randomly posting, if you notice they are even in alphabetical order. :) Since there are obviously less arboreal than terrestrial genera known, I figured it would easier to just list the arboreals.

This thread will be good for my T database.
Also--I'm going with five classes of T--arboreal, semi-arboreal, terrestrial, fossorial, and OBT.

Thanks for the link, but it doesn't help. It doesn't tell me what is arboreal and what is terrestrial. If I just wanted a list of all the names, I would use this http://www.exoticfauna.com/tarantulabibliography/index.html.

Yea I noticed the alphabetical order and thanks for that.



P.S. I will check back on this thread before my edit option is locked and update it with whatever else we haven't got listed yet. Thanks all that helped.
