Best Pamphobeteus species... GO!

[Nightshady]

So the T's I was looking at got sold before I pulled the trigger to buy. Total bummer. Anyway, I've found a place that has a wide selection of Pamphobeteus T's. So... what species do you like best? Which look the best and/or have the best T personality? Any info/advice/pics are much appreciated. Thanks for reading my post.

LOL... noted. Ok, new approach- which of the Pamphobeteus species have the most striking colors?

 

[cold blood]

Mature Males.

Aww... sexual dimorphism?

 

[nicodimus22]

I'm going to go with platyomma, because most people could actually afford one. Mature males is really the best answer, though. All gorgeous.

sp. Machala is relatively affordable

Pamphobeteus Antinous I mean c'mon its a 8-9 inch black tarantula. Its every hobbyists dream and every arachnophobes nightmare.

Pamphobeteus insignis (The real one)

There's an unreal one of this, too???

Mature male P. insignis:



Yes, there's a color dimorphism. Females of nearly every species are brown, except antinous and I think sp. tigris are black.

Yes, actual P. insignis is rare in the hobby. It comes from Colombia but the ones sold in the hobby as insignis are something different from Ecuador.

Here is a photo of 1.1 P. insignis-

Fine. Keep the rest of us in the dark. That's cool.

Sorry, if you like to see I can send you them. But cannot post here. Rules ahah

Most are black, fading to brown as they near a molt.

My P. vespertinus is pretty darn cool. Easily my favourite spider. She's never thought about a hide. Has no fear. Sits out front all day long. Always on display. Gorgeous colours, pinks and purples and maybe a few reds on black. Eats everything thing that moves without hestitation. Hunts like no other. Puts her ping pong ball exactly where she wants it .... out of the way....

Feeding that spider is often the highlight of my week.

Thanks everyone for your replies and information. I’m now thinking I might lean more towards the Xenesthis than the Pamphlobeteus. Yeah I know... I need to make up my mind haha. Seriously though thanks to all who chimed in.

 

[NukaMedia Exotics]

Putting in my vote for Pamphobeteus sp. "South Ecuador 2".

 

[Olan]

Xenesthis then:
