best earth tiger

[tylerf420]

hi everyone im wanting to add a earth tiger to my collection im looking for suggestions on a good choice i would i like one thats colorful as well as spends some time out in the open and isnt a total pet hole altough i understand they are mostly fossorial it seems

I don’t have much ado with Old World Ts but I don’t there are any “earth tigers” that aren’t obligate burrows to at least some extent. That said I like the look of Omothymus schioedtei.

Phormingochilus sp rufus is pretty beautiful
And I second omothymus schioedtei

Phormingochilus sp rufus is pretty beautiful

i currently raise five of them and they are awesome. they act like arboreal fussorials. at least as slings and juvies.
but if you want a colorful non-pethole, they are maybe the wrong choice . like most other Ornithoctoninae i guess.
but if you get one, i suggest this thread:

I don´t own any earth tigers, but I want to buy Haplopelma (Cyriopagopus) schmidti gold. Definitely one of the best looking OW, and they get huge!

I have a juvie and it's out every night and its tunnel is right against the side of the enclosure, but maybe I just got lucky

well yes i see them outside during the night regularly but not every spider every night.
of all my Ts, they are the most reclusive.

Bengal (Panthera tigris tigris), no doubt.

Oh....thought this was a post for best Tiger on earth

Which “earth tigers” do you like? I have no idea what specific genera do or do not fall under that common name.

Typically spiders within the Cyriopagopus, Chilobrachys, or Phormingochilus genus carry a number of "earth tiger" species.
I have only ever had a couple so no expert.

O. aureotibialis are one of the prettiest but you'll rarely see them.

Fight me.

If you want one you'll actually get to see somewhat regularly then C. fimbriatus is a good shout.
