NW or OW? My favorites are Asian fossorials tbh but for NW, A. seemanni is a classic and a hobby staple. ;)

Why not just cut to the chase and buy the best fossorial money can buy. The P.muticus of course, making all other fossorials absolete

Just get a box of dirt and label it whatever fossorial species you want. Everyone will believe it and nobody with half a working brain will try and dig it up to prove otherwise

I second this. They will burrow until they forgot to come out hunting for food and eat :lol:

A often forgotten and sorely underrated fossorial - Megaphobema robustum. Big, with lovely contrasting orange and black coloration, fantastic appetite, and unique behavior as a result of their urticating setae being located on their back legs.

Poor picture, but this is my juvie female Ifrit. She's a stunner by the naked eye.

You definitely can't go wrong with the other species named in previous posts, either.

I agree with this species simply because of how they flop around

I can’t single out any one of my Fossorials as my “favorite”, and if I did, it would change on a daily basis. So here’s every Fossorial T I own. I’m enamored with them all....

Ephebopus murinus (Skeleton Tarantula)

And I don’t have any decent pictures of my Chilobrachys huahini yet, but if I did, he/she’d be on here too.
