Thanks I actually took these pics with my Samsung Galaxy Edge 7. Not bad for a phone camera!

Not too shabby : ) I have a 30$ Wal-Mart phone

Is that one picture a "feather leg" baboon? I'm sorry I don't know much about them. Really beefy back legs.

Are you referring to the very 1st picture? That's a young female Poecilotheria vittata. There is picture of Loki, my H mac (Togo starburst baboon) somewhere in there, which is closely related to the S. calceatum/feather leg baboon. If it's the one with the huge bumblebee lookin legs, that one is a stout leg baboon, Eucratoscelus pachypus.

I wanted to post a species description above each pic, but I'm just getting the hang of posting on arachnoboards lol

Oh man now that's a T. I honestly haven't seen the stout leg baboon. I'd say the temper is about the same? There's so many nice Ts I don't know which one to talk about : D their all pretty awesome Ts. Thanks for sharing man also Iv learned a bit so far.

Actually no, my stout leg is very docile, especially for an old world. The few people I know of that do own them say the same thing. Some of my Brachypelma and Grammostola species (which are supposed to be like the go-to for beginners) are more defensive or just downright ornery lol

Do you own any Ts?

Yeah I have 16. I don't have any old world's yet though. My buddy has a coupe of old world's but their just slings. So I haven't had the true old world temper yet, I have a stirmi that's pretty skittish but she's a sweet heart. And an L.P that throws a threat posture at water and any movement if that counts.

And an E. Murinus that was alittle mean once upon a time.

My friend's stirmi is insane. Tbh I'd rather work with any of my OW Ts instead of her stirmi any day lol. If you're looking for a chill OW to start off with, I'd say go with M. balfouri or H. pulchripes. Both are beautiful, and not one of mine is defensive. Obviously that can vary, but I think a lot of people would agree on those species. C. darlingi is a good one too. If you wanna go with an OW arboreal, check out P. regalis. As far as pokies go, mines a sweetheart. I tong feed her all the time!

Oh man you have the nice ones lol the stirmi I had before her was a loon also. She would bolt around the tank and throw fits. It was a 5 1/2 inch stirmi bolting around like a sling. And I'm not gonna lie it was intimidating. But you have to love them : ) and the balfouri is beautiful. I have been keeping Ts for about 4 years so it may be time for an old world.
