Yeah, I've never even gotten a threat posture from my 5.5" female. Oh well, also never hides. I give her a nice hide to use but all she does is sit under her pothos plant leaves (very visible lol).
Muticus is pretty darn cool, too. I love their brown...its so much not the usual brown.
It's brown dude.
But its a vibrant, pretty brown. I didn't say it wasn't brown, I said it wasn't the usual brown.
I thought it was burnt orange :OBut its a vibrant, pretty brown. I didn't say it wasn't brown, I said it wasn't the usual brown.
normal boring tarantula brown...
Pretty, vibrant and much lighter brown.
Too late the raffle has spoken! I'm saving up for P.muticus.
Are you going for a sling or larger spider? If you go for a sling, that large tank you have in mind is going to be too big for a long time.
They are not for the feint hearted. If you've never dealt with a T this is not a good first choice (although I know many have done it). It's an addiction.
I will probably go for a larger spider. Definitely not adult but maybe like 2-3in. Something that is already used to living xD. I'm not planning to use the aquarium anytime soon but at least I'll have it so when the time comes.Are you going for a sling or larger spider?

No, heresy! Kinda terracotta one
THE RAFFLE HAS SPOKENPick one, read the care sheet and buy
You mentioned P.murinus. I don't think you quite understand what this means
Just keep away from old worlds, and defensive/skittish species. They'll put you on your toes and if you don't know T's you could be putting the T (or yourself) at risk.
Seriously, go with a G.rosea for your first T. Beautiful, mostly docile, lots of info can be found online about them. In a very short space of time you'll be buying more, I can promise you that
Enjoy the hobby. Spiders are amazing. Welcome to the club
I mentioned P.murinus mostly because I find it's reputation really interesting lol. Plus it did fit with my list from what I've read.
Going directly for the huge hiss monster, huh? Sweet.I will probably go for a larger spider. Definitely not adult but maybe like 2-3in. Something that is already used to living xD. I'm not planning to use the aquarium anytime soon but at least I'll have it so when the time comes.
Well I'm not getting an adult first thing xD I'm crazy but not that crazy
That's cool. If you think you can handle it go for itTHE RAFFLE HAS SPOKEN
I always advise against them for a first T because I've been there. I got a pokie about a week after a rose. Bad mistake, but I learn't fast. If you're a quick learner, and understand how unpredictable spider are you'll be fine.Go with a sling and grow with it
"Monster" only from Latin "Monstrum", which means "prodigy" and other 'positive' meaning u_u
Uhm...no. Do NOT read caresheets. Caresheets kill Theraphosidae. Check with @Chris LXXIX for her (hopefully) care and maintenance, and you're good
