Hello guys I really really love the look of this T and would like to have one, but as we all know most I could see is hole not even webed. So do you know any Ts that have similar look?

Even if they're pet holes most of the time, the few occasions that you get to see one out makes them worth keeping! Also, they move so much sub around that you can almost always see them in their burrow through the enclosure anyway.

I see my juvie female out semi-regularly and I can see into her burrow even when she's not out, just provide a starter burrow that gives you some sort of window and don't overfeed.



H. gigas, C. huahini to a lesser extent

I know about this method but they are slow growing so they can have 6months meditation moments
Yeah, the growth rate is pretty slow, mine's around 4" or so currently and I got her as a freebie sling just over 4 years ago, she's never refused to eat for more than 4 weeks prior to moulting though.

The second response you got from @cold blood recommended H. gigas - which is also a fossorial species that spends much time underground.

What characteristics of P. muticus appeal to you - the coloration, or the size and shape of it? If it's the size and shape (stout, powerful legs; elongated carapace and abdomen), you're not likely to find those in a species that is not fossorial. If you just want a predominantly orange T that is easier to observe, though, you might look at Amazonius germani (formerly Pseudoclamoris gigas) - the orange tree spider.
