So this should be answered in your opinion and here are the category’s to answer 1. Looks 2. Husbandry 3. Temperament 4. Price and availability
You only had pulcher listed three times, you don’t really love them.But if you're gonna make me choose: 1) Irminia - 2) Pulcher/Cambridgei - 3) Pulcher/Reduncus - 4) Pulcher
That’s what I’m most excited about, the green. Picked up the cam and pulcher at the same time last year so waiting it out still. Both are showing signs of premolt now, time to rehouse.P. cambridgei- you won’t understand how green they really are until they mature.
my favorite is pulcher. Not sure what it is about them but I prefer them to the others.
I'm slightly derailing here (I'm so sorry Nebs!) but I'm genuinely curious, do your psalmos spend a painfully long amount of time in premolt with those fat shiny bootays? Or is it just mine? I love the fast growth rate, but dang it, they really like to drag out the suspense.Both are showing signs of premolt now, time to rehouse.
Yep, the Irminia never gets a shinny butt though, just dulls and takes forever. The cam and pulcher drag their shinny butt phase out for ages, then one day I will look to see a massive growth spurt. I haven’t really paid much attention to the others, they are more unsupervised.I'm slightly derailing here (I'm so sorry Nebs!) but I'm genuinely curious, do your psalmos spend a painfully long amount of time in premolt with those fat shiny bootays?

Yeah, green is the rarest color in the t world, I am always shocked that they dont get more love for their coloration...I am also constantly shocked at all the people that "claim" that they arent green, or green enough...face palming every time over here.P. cambridgei- you won’t understand how green they really are until they mature.
Only with adults, slings molt really quickly, juvies are even pretty quick, but as with any adult, molts may only come once a year, and if you feed these garbage disposals a lot (and they are all garbage disposals), they will obviously end up in pre molt for very long periods of time. My recommendation is to slow down on your feeding schedule.t I'm genuinely curious, do your psalmos spend a painfully long amount of time in premolt with those fat shiny bootays?
How many rehouses have you done from slings to sub-adult?So this should be answered in your opinion and here are the category’s to answer 1. Looks 2. Husbandry 3. Temperament 4. Price and availability
Yes, a freshly molted Adult Female always gives me to WOW that is a GREEN tarantula effect.Yeah, green is the rarest color in the t world, I am always shocked that they dont get more love for their coloration...I am also constantly shocked at all the people that "claim" that they arent green, or green enough...face palming every time over here
Great pictures!Only with adults, slings molt really quickly, juvies are even pretty quick, but as with any adult, molts may only come once a year, and if you feed these garbage disposals a lot (and they are all garbage disposals), they will obviously end up in pre molt for very long periods of time.

I will say, IME irminia are not only prone to the most reclusive behavior, but also the longest pre-molt bouts i have had to deal with. I have had adults just disappear for a year or more on many occasions.
YUP! At least pokies eventually try to duck and cover, psalmos just crave violence.How many rehouses have you done from slings to sub-adult?
Now how many rehouses have you done with fast, can possibly be highly defensive and a little more potent venom than most NW's?
Yes, not the coolest but the king!P. cambridgei without a doubt. In my opinion they're everything great about tarantulas in one amazing package. Gets large, beautiful green and orange coloration, active, great display animals, and voracious appetites. My AF is my favorite spider in my collection. View attachment 409080
P. irminia are the best looking. I really like victori as well.1. Looks
Basically all the same apart from ecclesiasticus which are a little less drought tolerant than the others.2. Husbandry
P. irminia is the calmest of mine, victori are by far the most defensive IME.3. Temperament
P. cambridgei, the only good thing about them tbf, they're basically the arboreal equivalent of L. parahybana because they cost next to nothing and are regularly given away as freebies here.4. Price and availability
