All of them 😄. I have three of the right now
(Avicularia sp kwitara river, juruensis M2 and braunshauseni) all very sweet and often on display.

Avicularia purpurea is a stunner aswell!

If Caribena versicolor are on the table even though they're no longer Avics I'll say them.

Only "Avic" I've kept mind. Where to start.

Absolutely stunning. Ridiculously so.

Phenomenal feeding response.

My lass is extremely laid back but of course that can change from tarantula to tarantula.

Turn their enclosures into works of art.

Seems kinda unnecessary, I just put them straight into 32oz delis set up like below and overflow the water dish to moisten about 1/3 of the substrate as needed, never had any issues with keeping them alive.
In Europe we also keep them like this, clay as supstrate and a cork bark. Cross ventilation and not top one. This way no bacteria/fungus/etc can survive, because avics live very high in trees even as a
Slings and they are very vulnerable to it. This way you don't lose slings and it is cheap. Very good until they hit 1,5 inch mark and becomme more hardy. I recomend to all :)

Saw this on birdspiders.ch's channel a while back, also seems unnecessary tbh.

Successfully raised plenty of Avics from slings in the same setups I described previously (cross/top vent & slightly moist sub).

I really like my Avicularia minatrix. She turned me around from disliking Avics. I think she's mature now and I'd love to breed her.

the 3 I still crave are A Juruensis (Avic Avic Morph 2?) and A Geroldi ( is this now a morph as well?) and M6
