If you were a T…..

[CrazyOrnithoctonineGuy]

Exactly what it says in the title. If you were a T, which one would you be based on your personality?

Me? Probably a Cyriopagopus hainanus. East Asian (no Ts native to my country so that’s as close as I can get) and defensive to the point of being frequently mistaken as being aggressive.

Pamphobetus sp. Platyomma I do not do much at all but watch tv do light cardio lol and look at tarantulas. I can be found sitting at the same spot for 80% of the time. I Sit ontop of my hide cave and do nothing. Post molt pic ! I do not burrow.

Is that why you have about two dozen of them?

Highly likely and it's more like 3 dozen + now (41 was last count and one on the way)

Definitely a Pokie or Phormingochilus. I'm lanky and I climb trees like nothing. Plus I rock some pretty swanky patterns.

You broke my brain...how many is too much?

No such thing as too much
If they make you happy you are able to care for them properly then it's never too much I say

No such thing if he can keep that many he can handle a lot!!!!! I prefer a smaller collection under 50 total. I got 15 atm.

I prefer diversity over sheer numbers TBH, though with Ts one tends to lead to the other…

My two favourite genera incidentally lol

Totally agree, and although I bang on about the T blondi a lot I have lots of variety in my collection too

Good question and I’m not sure. My SAF M Balfouri would be my girlfriend becuase she’s stunning but moody

A man of exquisite taste, I see.

I climb trees for work and I am too fast. I used to live in SE Asia, so the Asian arboreals/fossorials definitely resonate with me more than a NW arboreal. I only yearn to exist in the tropics, relaxing in my tree cavity until some A-hole comes knocking. Then I burst forth, drag that sucker in and drink em like a smoothie . I suspect I may be more Phormingochilus though as Borneo is my favourite place on Earth.

You better be a balfouri as well then

Pokies are pretty stunning also . Tiger spiders some probably call them oh that’s earth tigers. But one pokie has that name . Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli I’ve not owned yet.

What is the closest tarantula for someone who is small and neurotic? That would be me lol

Dolichothele diamantinensis

Thrixopelma pruriens,
Green floof- green hair
Can't decide if they are arboreal or terrestrial-I often can't make decisions,
Will take on anything- dito.
When startled they will stick their butt fingers up at you- dito

So you’re a Tapinauchenius?

My little Chilobrachys Huahini, it flew around everywhere when I first got it and only recently its started coming out at night. But if I get too close it’ll run into its burrow. Or a P Irmina, cool, looks awesome with a tiger look and grows smaller than other Pslasmos
