Furriest species

[McPede]

Hi guys!

Can the length of the setae vary between adult specimens within the same species

And just to kill my curiosity.
Which tarantula species would you consider to be the furriest/fuzziest?
Is it one of the species from the genus Nhandu or are there even fuzzier ones?


Sorry for my bad English.

Best wishes

I do not know about variation between setae length in individuals of the same species, but I would guess the answer would be "yet" because simply of genetic differentiations. I find that Avicularia versicolor adults are reliably very fuzzy.

N.vulpins or B.albopilosum

Ditto on no hair space count for you. LOL

Ditto again on fuzzy versi's. IMHO there is no match for these cuddly teddy bers of the Avicularia sp. The albopilosums are great but they are more kinky than furry.

I'm partial to avis anyway, but they have the coolest hair/style;P

How's this for hair, and its not on its abdomen

I like the Avic Huriana. Very fluffy. I had one and it keeled. Looking for another sling. Very hard to find.

g rosea and s.calceatum are pretty fuzzy too

This is what I want! Anyone working with this T? Gotta be the prickliest spider I ever saw!!

P. parvula are fuzzy lil guys, too.

Many thanks for your replies, much appreciated.

I remember seeing a photo of an Aphonopelma wichitanum which looked very fuzzy, but are they that fuzzy in "real life" or was the photo misleading?

My P irminia looks almost naked compared to a P pulcher.

All of these need a shave:

Brachypelma albopilosum
Eupalastrus campestratus
Nhandu sp.
Lasiodora difficilis
Megaphobema robustum

Yeah I agree on the M robustum, mine has huge bushes for back legs, lol. She also is very dangerous with her spinning back roundhouse kicking, I was thinking about getting her a mini black belt.
