Hello!
so i know that most baboon spiders are quite prolific webbers, and i just absolutely love the look of baboons! But i was just wondering what other species except of P murinus that are absolute beasts at webbing? Being affordable and visible is also a plus point, but lemme hear all of your answers!

Thsnk you in advance, Maman

Not quite as affordable as P. murinus, but H. pulchripes is one of my heaviest webbers.
H pulchripes is gorgeous! But they are sooo expensive over here, 1-2cm slings are sold off at the equivalent of 70$ :eek:

The Ceratogyrus genus also webs a lot and is quite affordable and easy to come by.
Oh yeap! Will def be getting into them again after i sell off my darlingi that turned out to be a MM!

M. balfouri is another good webber, but can also a little bit on the pricey side.

The Chilobrachys genus has a lot to offer. Almost all heavy webbers. C. fimbriatus is one of the most common, but you have also there C huahini and C dyscolus (Electric Blue), one of my favs.

I haven’t kept any yet but I think Heterothele gabonensis/villosella are heavy webbers. Cute little baboons too!

Oh chilos are absolute marvels! I was planning on getting a dyclosus, but i instead opted for a pokie because of price reasons lol. A big regret on my part because now the breeder's C dyclosus are all sold out :'(

I haven't even heard of them yet! I don't think anyone is selling them atm in Indonesia :p

E. pachypus if you can find them. My female is a heavy webbing pet hole. Males are harder to come by.

Even my newly acquired sling makes insane webbing. It’s got quite the web castle going in its dram vial
H. Pulchripes not P. Murinus

I've heard any of the T's from these genus' are quite the web-makers:
Poecilotheria,
Ceratogyrus,
Pterinochilus,
Harpactira,
Stromatopelma.

Oh, my bad sorry. I've heard of a few Poecilotheria spp. that are quite heavy webbers, maybe I'm thinking of another genus?

I think any Harpactira would be good. Ceratogyrus web like nobody's business too.

Do you have a GBB?

not a baboon species but Psalmopeous have very prolific webbing behaviours as well, and they’re all really cool, albeit fast and spicy behaviours, but if you’re asking about baboons, that shouldn’t put you off
