Hello all!

[bjorndmon]

I am certainly not new to the hobby however I am new to arachnoboards!!! I currently own a curly hair, venezuelan sun tiger, P. Regalis, vera cruz red rump, and a GBB I Recently ordered 8 new babies, a giant white knee, caribena versicolor, hapolopelma sp bach, Nhandu Tripepii, Vialius Chromatus, Theraposinae sp Rotan, Pseudha palopus sp blue and an orphnaecus sp cebu. I am so super excited for them to come home and to be here in this awesome forum!!!

That's a great order. A geniculata and N tripepii are a crazy amount of fun. The Bach Ma is a beautiful T. Oddly enough my female is one of my least defensive Asian fossorials. That's an exception though

Welcome

 

[bjorndmon]

Thank you so much. I am so super stoked for them to arrive!!!! My next endeavor is an M. Balfouri communal colony!

Good luck with your new additions. Get ready for some next level hair kicking with N tripepi. If youre lucky, they will be calm like my N color.

If you wish for a communal, get m balfouris from a known breeder/dealer that can provide you with sac mates, that are young slings.

Otherwise, your chances of success might not have the same results as you expect.

My N tripepii behaves very well. Same with my chromatus. My tripepii rarely kicks. Just a little during rehousing then she gets tired

Welcome to ab
you have some great choices there, I am sure you will find our search bar a great help when doing your research to learn about your sp, although you will have to use Latin names for your info to show .
I look forward to seeing pics once they are there n in their new homes Gl with your new floofers n any questions you know where we are .

Great order and welcome to ab ! My giant white knee is growing very slowly.

Like alot of the bigger sp genic don't moult often, they just put alot of size on with each moult, so ppl say they are faster growing which personally I think can be confusing. I find my genics moult about the same as my brachypelma do except they put on a good quater to half inch n my brachypelma only put on 2mm

Welcome to AB.

What size was your Pseudhapalopus sp blue listed as?

If it's only 1/16 or 1/8 it's growth rate will test your patience. They can grow slower than Aphonopelma.

Mine adopted a complete fossorial life. Others have told me their P. sp blue did not so it'll be interesting to see what yours prefers.

Other than that those are some great choices for T's, best wishes.

Have you done your research on the P. irminia, P. regalis, C. cyaneopubescens and C. versicolor?

Know what you're up against when doing rehouses and precise husbandry with their enclosures.

 

[bjorndmon]

I sure have and my P Regalis is an adult female, shes beautiful and has been in my care for about a year so so far so good

Great selection there bud. And welcome to AB, this is a great place to be as a T owner. Try use the scientific names of the species you're talking about makes it easier for everyone.
Here is the list of what you mentioned you have in order of what you wrote, I left out the ones you already use the scientific name for.
Tliltocatl Albopilosus
Psalmopoeus Irminia
Poecilotheria Regalis
Tliltocatl Kahlenbergi
Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens
Acanthoscurria Geniculata

Nice, nevermind then sounds like you know what you're doing.

As far as the P. sp blue I'll share some info on mine which is a mature male.

I purchased mine from an exotic show on 2/16/2020. It was 1/16 of an inch. Literally almost the size of a pen point. It lived a complete fossorial life only making a surface appearance once a year. That appearance was always short-lived retreating back underground within a few minutes.

I lost the date of it's penultimate molt as a mature male it was on my old phone. However I still distinctly remember it took 4 years to go from 1/16 to a mature male.

These are what I consider a true dwarf. Average max size is 3 inches DLS. Can always be a mature male that matures out at smaller sizes and possibly slightly bigger but it would be uncommon. Same for females.

Yours is bigger and if it turns out male the time to maturity should not take as long.

Even the males at maturity have a beautiful sapphire coloration on the top of the abdomen. It is very visual with just an overhead room light. Put a flashlight on it and the sapphire blue just sparkles. The rest of the body coloration is just tan. To me it was worth the wait.

I tried to find a breeder for him but no one was interested.
