Looking to get my 2nd T Ever (Thrixopelma cyaneolum)

[Silepticus]

Hello! I'm new here and I am looking to purchase my 2nd ever T. My first was a Chilean Dwarf Flame (Euth sp. Red?) that ended up dying about 3-4 months after purchase as a spiderling. That was about 5 years ago. I was pretty discouraged after that and I never purchased another. Now I feel like getting back on the saddle. I have done a ton of research over the past week or so, and I feel like I have landed on a species that checks alot of boxes for me: Thrixopelma cyaneolum (Cobalt Red Rump). An online vendor currently has these for sale at 1.5-2''. There is very limited information online about these Ts, but most of what I have found has been pretty positive. One thing I am excited about is the size that these Ts are already at, and past the sling stage I would assume to be close to 2''. Anyone have any info they would like to share or feedback?

Welcome! Thrixopelma is a great genus and you can't really go wrong with any of them - they eat great, grow relatively quickly, don't have difficult husbandry requirements, and are all around hardy T's. Good choice!

What do you need to know? There are no special needs. Kept just like my E sp Red

Nice choice, I love Thrixopelmas, cyaneolum is next on my list to get.

Thrixopelma are a fun genus. I have 4 species of them so far. The only thing I can think of that might turn some people off is the fact that they stay pretty small.

I just got my first one! She is only about 1/2" right now but I'm looking forward to watching her grow. I've watched all the TC videos and TM video's on them. So informative! I think they can be a bit fast at times but besides that they seem pretty easy. Good luck with yours!
