Best burrowing genus/species?

[Mello]

I'm really interested in adding a deep burrower to my collection! In your opinion, which would you recommend? Thanks!

I asked the same question awhile back because my B. albopilosum as a juvie digs great burrows so I wanted another one that burrows, people said she will stop once she matures So a lot of people recommended H. lividum but they are aggressive and I haven't been able to find a sling anywhere and I went to reptile show and no vendor had one.

I PM'd you. And thanks for the response! I too have heard Haplopelma genus burrows well. And as far as aggression goes, my technically second tarantula is a Pterinochilus Murinus... As long as you know what you are doing, don't worry too much about aggression

Ceratogyrus darlingi or marshalli. Mine are sweet hearts. They do tge threat pose from time to time but ive been able to handle them Mine are deep burrowers and heavy webbers.

Best of both worlds.

Awesome! Thank you! Adding to my wish list!

Eucratoscelus pachypus. Somewhat mild-tempered (for a baboon), medium size, and the hind legs on females are gorgeous! <3

Just wait a few more weeks and there will be lividum on every dealers site theyre about $35 a sling and worth every penny. As far as aggression once they have a burrow to hide in theyre actually pretty calm. Ive had mine for 6 months never once seen a threat pose but any vibration will make her disappear and you wont see much of her except her legs and probably her abdomen when shes silk-lining her burrow.

Ive heard some Pelinobius muticus' like to burrow quite often? not sure if its exactly what you would want but they burrow alright!

Haplos and Ceratogyrus are great, but I would recommend a Chilobrachys fimbriatus. Great burrower and Webber, gorgeous and out fairly often. And if you are fine with defensive species, try also a Pelonbius muticus. Amazing burrowers, large and gorgeous. However, they are very defensive. My big female is the only spider I have that will come out of her burrow if the enclosure is disturbed. She is most certainly actively defensive, but one of my faves.

I am quite fond of this species!

Selenocosmia arndsti

[freedumbdclxvi]

I am wanting an arndsti. Have you had any luck breeding them?

This one was a freebie. Not 100% sure but I think it might be a Ornithoctonus aureotibialis. Always out after lights out. Any movement and its gone.

It might be, does it have gold/orange setae on Legs I and II?

Ornithoctonus aureotibialis sp. n. can be distinguished from all other Ornithoctonus species by an orange – golden fringe of hairs on retrolateral side of patella and tibia of leg I and II. - von Wirth and Striffler (2005).

It could be Ornithoctonus sp. 'Silver grey'(South Thailand). Where did it come from? Is it WC? What was it labelled as?

If I can remember they are more golden.
Like I said, its only out an night and when I move in for a closer look. It's darts back down.
I got it from a local guy. I'm pretty sure he got it by taking a whole collection and it was labeled as a H. lividum.

I have no knowledge of it being wild caught.

I wish I had a better history in it. Looks amazing in person. Even if I never get to see it.

Appears to be this or possibly O.costalis!

Does this PM say "what do you want for it?"

 

[Kazaam]

Any adult Haplopelma.

Not to hijack.
Here is the only other shot I have.
