+3 A. geniculata. Great display species with a never ending appetite. These T's have no fear and will stay out all the time.

Get all three.

But, if you can only get one, I vote for the A. genic or N. coloratovillosus. They're both eating machines, but if you're looking for full grown size, then go for the A. genic, they're monsters. They're also gorgeous.

I consider myself an amateur when it comes to T keeping. Had kept these fine creatures for two months. Have faced with escapes, molting problems and the like. Now I have pokies and OBTs and I have no problems with them. Though i can't say that i have years of experience, but i think i have sufficient for these species :D

I want a T that's big, showy, eats well, not a stoner, and active. I have a RCF rosea and avicularia avicularia that are the most active Ts in my collection while others are pet holes or statues Ts.

I have 2 of these, sweet color and great eaters. They also have a real good feed response as well.
compared to a,genic?

If you're looking for something big and showy and active, then I'd say the A. genic. They grow fast, look great and get pretty big. Also, they're out quite a bit. Ours is out all of the time. He has a hide, but never uses it. He crawls on top of it, but never goes in. Also, he's insane. He pounces on his waterdish when we pick it up to change his water (which is why we pick his water dish up with tweezers).

N. coloratovillosus don't get as big, and I don't think they grow quite as fast (I could be wrong, I've got a juvie genic and Nhandu slings so it's hard to compare). Personally, I think the genic is nicer looking but that's just my own tastes.

Overall if I had to choose between the two, I'd say A. geniculata. You can't go wrong. Good luck with whatever you choose.

A. geniculata's colors are much more vibrant when compared the the Nhandu. Plus the Nhandu is more skittish. A. genic will face danger and the Nhandu will flee from it.
I have had my A. geniculata actually turn around and walk towards the tweezers. They will attack anything that moves. Not because its agressive but because its always hungry.

Great appetite and they're funny when they do not agree with your choice in tank decors. :D
