irminia are photosensitive more than the others, more secretive etc. also, more nervous.Yup! Fast spiders amaze and fascinate me, I’m excited for it to be honest! Doesn’t bother me
Would you suggest other species over irminia for those specific reasons?irminia are photosensitive more than the others, more secretive etc. also, more nervous.
Depends- are you fine seeing your irminia once a month etc? I'm exaggerating a bit. They are the most pretty of the Psalmos to me- well only the females are- the males are ugly.Would you suggest other species over irminia for those specific reasons?
Yeah I think that is something to think about, but I agree only the female irminia are really the good looking ones. I have a local person selling both irminia and cambridgei they just sold out of pulcher.Depends- are you fine seeing your irminia once a month etc? I'm exaggerating a bit.

I have had a female P. pulcher- out WAY more.
And P cambrid.-- never owned, but they are the largest and def out a lot. Personally not for me because the orange isn't as striking as the Venezuelan Sun Tiger (coolest common name ever hah)

The irminia’s are only about .5in at most 1in bigger then the cambridgei but $25 more expensive so I’m not sure if it’s even worth it. Personally I really love the look of the cambridgei and the adult sizes as well plus the visibility habits
Yeah when I got quoted it seemed really expensive for the size of irminia. $55 for a 1.5-2in sling25$ more-- not worth it. Irminia are always available and pretty inexpensive for such a pretty T
Good luck

Nature’s exquisite creatures in San Antonio I like buying from local businesses, it’s what I did back in jersey. and they are local one town over from me. But I don’t plan on spending 55 for a sling of that size. Maybe it’s just one of another quarantine price gougesWay over priced. who was that?
It’s totally not soo much about the visibility, I just kinda like having better looking enclosures even at sling sizes. Just preference. Plus my girl doesn’t like the deli up look, I keep everything out on display and she cares about that kinda stuff and prefers them be in little bit nicer enclosures. But don’t get me wrong delicups would be much easier and even cheaper!!!I laugh at the "have to have good visibility" comment with regards to deli cups...they have the same 360 degree visibility as any clear enclosure....sling enclosures are temporary,
Okay awesome! I’ll pop this little guy in there tonight. Thanks man I was actually going to hit you up soon to see what you’ve been breeding and Have for saleOP, you can go with pretty much anything and be fine...you could start them in 4oz condiment cups, 16oz deli (sized) or 32oz deli (sized) set ups and do just fine in each and every one of them...Psalmo's aren't picky about much.
As slings, theyre virtually indistinguishable....as MMs they are simpliar...as adult females, they look markedly different.Hey you guys do irminia and cambridgei slings look pretty similar?
I sell slings for between 8 and 12 bucks each when I have them...irminia are only slightly more....awesome species, especially cams (my favorites).....They are the greatest (or right up there) slings one could ask to raise.....just fantastic...fast growers, excellent hunters, amazing growth per molt, and can be pretty active....irminia is the most reclusive in the genus, and frankly, as they grow it gets worse...they may just be the most reclusive species I have ever seen....but do they look great when you see them,.But I don’t plan on spending 55 for a sling of that size.

Okay awesome! Thanks for the clarity on their looks!! I was taking a closer look at them and was like wow they are almost looking the same.As slings, theyre virtually indistinguishable....as MMs they are simpliar...as adult females, they look markedly different.
Well if I really like raising my cam, I will definitely be contacting you! Just from what you are saying about them sounds like that day will definitely come when I get at least one more sling to raise. So if you remember let me know!I sell slings for between 8 and 12 bucks each when I have them...irminia are only slightly more....awesome species, especially cams
They are fast that's it, and water dishes too.Okay I’m actually headed to the container store right now lol so I’ll get some with low profile lids for the new enclosures. I’ve got the bark.
Anything else I should keep I mind when keeping these species?
They're actually very drought tolerant and can handle a wide range of husbandry...one of the things that make them such a good learning tool.@cold blood I felt bad for them they both had bone dry substrate and only about half an inch of it to burrow or make dirt curtains with.
But yeah I just put that cambridgei into its enclosure and he is extremely active, exploring the whole thing
This is good to know all I was reading was they needed damp substrate, but I will feel much better knowing they’ll adapt if things don’t always stay exactly the sameThey're actually very drought tolerant and can handle a wide range of husbandry...one of the things that make them such a good learning tool.
usually behind dirt curtains@cold blood @viper69 how will these slings molt? will they molt out in the open? or in a burrow as slings? or up in a "nest" of some sorts?
okay cool I just wanted to know what I should look out for, the irminia just starting digging a burrow behind the bark, and wasnt sure if I should expect it to molt in there or not.usually behind dirt curtains
yep, that will be the placeokay cool I just wanted to know what I should look out for, the irminia just starting digging a burrow behind the bark, and wasnt sure if I should expect it to molt in there or not.
He finished eating a cricket and then promtly started work on a burrow, figured this was a good sign and that it probably would be the placeyep, that will be the place
