N. Incei for a beginner?

[AnimalNewbie]

Hi I’m a Beginner and on a previous thread I just had a 8x8x8 enclosure lying around with nothing to put in it so I asked what I could put in there. One or two of the nice people who replied said I should get an
N. Incei. I was confused about this since I’ve heard it’s an OW and I’ve heard those are fast and their bites pack a punch. Are thes really suitable for beginners? If so how bad is the venom and what price do they usually run?
Thanks for your time!

They are not OW, they are NW. But unlike most NW, they have no urticating hairs. They remain smaller than most Ts and are considered a 'dwarf species'. The colour is very nice. The 'normal' variant is greenish with a beautiful shine. There is also a golden variety. They are cheap and easy to care for, so they could be considered a beginner species. However, they are very quick! Just search some rehouse clips on YouTube If you have no prior experience with tarantulas and you have slight arachnophobia, this might be a bit much for a beginner. They are also heavy webbers, which I personally think is a plus.

I have no personal experience with this species yet, but I plan to buy one soon!

Neoholothele incei are New World and have NW type venom, they are fast but tend to retreat to there web castle once established. BTW its easy to find info on them by using the full scientific name in a google search ie; Neoholothele incei habitat range

Oh whoops my bad! Thanks for all the replies. I don’t have that much experience I Inverts except for a very flighty Brachyplema abilpolosum, and a pissed off heterometrus spinifer. How fast we talking?
Teleportation?

Whomever told you that information is ignorant a bit on Ts, I wouldn't trust them for any further info on these exotic animals.

I would recommend a slower T than N incei for your first. A Chaco Golden Knee, aka G pulchripes would be a great one

 

[AnimalNewbie]

Well that what I wanted for my 1st T. Lol.
Got a B. Abilpolusum instead.

 

[Venom1080]

And i wanted an H mac. doesn make it a good choice

N incei are probably manageable if you really wanted one, but not if youre an arachnophobe or something just getting into Ts.

Not the best spider for a complete beginner. Nothing transcendental, but those little freaks are speedy as hell

 

[AnimalNewbie]

Thanks for the replies. If thats the case I’ll probably hold off on those for now. Any suggestions of what I could put in such a small tank? I meant I wanted a Chaco golden knee as my 1st T up there. Sorry if there was any misconception.

 

[Scarabyte]

I agree they are very fast!
8x8x8 isn't small at all
you can use that for almost any terrestrial sling up until they get about 4 inches or so.
Then you'd need to think about rehousing.
However if you want a dwarf species that is definitely manageable for someone new to the hobby
Euathlus sp. red is what you want Super docile, not hard to care for and don't get big.
Not nearly as fast as N. incei as well. Although they can be a little pricey compared to other starter T's like B. hamorii or G. pulchripes.

 

[cold blood]

a juvie G. pulchripes would be fine there for a while....till nearly 4" IMO

These guys have some good info on species for new keepers and about the basics like set up and stuff:

Get a GBB/Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens

 

[Nightshady]

I always recommend Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens as a first T. I’m a bit partial, as that was my first T. I highly recommend getting a sling to see them grow, so you wouldn’t want to put a sling in an 8x8x8.

Not a sling, but that size would offer plenty of space once the sling outgrows its deli cup. (I don't mind giving GBBs extra space, because they web it all up.) GBBs grow reasonably fast, so it won't take too long for the spider to be a suitable size for the enclosure.

 

[AnimalNewbie]

Just for future reference if I ever get one what is the average-ish growth rate for slings. I know that there’s no “average” growth rate because it depends on a lot of things.

Different species different rate

 

[RepugnantOoze]

The only issues with fast T's for beginners is the speed can make you super nervous. They are totally unpredictable. That being said if I was you and I wanted one I'd do my research watch a lot of videos and put some paper towel over the drain of my bath tub. You'd be fine if you make sure you're careful.

 

[AnimalNewbie]

Thanks a lot for replying.

 

[Bob Len]

Thanks a lot for replying.

Btw, just grab whatever T interests you. Of course dont go and buy an old world or anything lol but if a gbb interests you get it or a b hamorii or whatever. just do your research then dive in.
