New T suggestions please

[TarantulaT]

Hey, so I’m looking to get a couple of new Ts but don’t really know what to go for and looking for suggestions really, there’s a few I’m considering but would be interested in what other tarantula keepers recommend, I currently have:
B. hamorii
2x A.geniculata
2x P.sazimai
D.pentaloris
G.pulchra
Chilobrachys sp. electric blue
H.maculata
G.pulchripes
C.elegans
C.lividium

My partner and I have seen Hapalopus formosus for sale, a Thrixopelma lagunas, Avicularia purpurea, Pamphobeteus sp platyomma. Any thoughts?

When I'm looking for an animal, it usually depends on my curiosity, interest and fascination. I also advise you to do the same. Which animal are you interested in and why...
Personally, I always advise tapis and psalmos. If you like these genus, buy them!

 

[Dorifto]

Ceratogyrus sanderi, they are not very common. I miss mine...

It's not that I recommend but if you already have all those species I would love p.murinus and poecilotheria species

Yeah, I guess I have limited space as I live on a boat so any decision I make in terms of new tarantulas needs to be right, however no matter what Ts I choose I think I’m always going to find more I’d like to add to my collection and not have the room for . Most of mine have been size or colour based choices or some I’ve had from the start for ease of keeping, I’d like an Avic I guess as I don’t have many arboreal Ts, I had a N.chromatus but he matured and died but I really enjoyed how feisty he was, having said that my H.maculata gives me the willies when she bolts!

Ceratogyrus sanderi, they are not very common. I miss mine...

I’d like to learn more about your experience keeping this species I think the C.darlingi is a beautiful tarantula too, are they fast? I’ve watched a couple of videos on them and they look like a fairly docile fossorial species but I haven’t got massively into old worlds yet

Oh...and I also have a T.stirmi

I just got into Tarantulas and my first was an Avicularia Avicularia. Stunning colors, always visible because it hasnt built a web yet, eats well and doesnt seem to kick hairs. The spider is about 3" so has some growing to do but seems pretty relaxed.

 

[Dorifto]

are they fast

Lighning fast, really.

With a proper setup they are "docile", not as bolty as other baboons. Mine was a beast eating, even when she was a sling took worms bigger than her, I didn't have access to smallest preys at the time, and she refused prekilled ones... Looks like my Ts are sybarites

With a little bit of clay, topsoil, dried wood and dry grass you can make awesome setups for them.

 

[WolleWolf]

When looking at your list I would say you need a Theraphosa ssp. , a Pampho or a Xenesthis ssp. !

Yeah I haven’t had a pamphobeteus before and have found one that I’m interested in

I would recommend some T's for you but I don't want you eyeing the ones I'm looking to buy

 

[kingshockey]

p muticus have had a year this month and its pushing almost 2 inches barely

Nice, how often do you actually get to see it?

This one is on my wanted list.

 

[Tarantulafeets]

Should go with some Ceratogyrus, I absolutely love that genus. I only have a marshalli as of now but she is an amazing t. Others off the top of my head you should look at:

Orphnaecus philippinus
Gbb
Psalmopoeus sp
Caribena versicolor
Pterinochilus murinus
Lyrognathus giannisposatoi
Hysterocrates gigas

i see mine everyday its not to defensive or anything(just runs to its burrow) but that could all change as it gets older

 

[spideyspinneret78]

P. cambridgei. Grows large, arboreal, with beautiful olive green coloration in females. They grow quickly and have ravenous appetites. Mine is my favorite.

 

[joossa]

Just get more Brachypelma. Plenty to choose from.

 

[MrFuzzBugz]

In terms of genus as a whole, Psalmopoeus, Phormictopus, or Pamphobeteus, but of the species you saw, I highly recommend Hapalopus formosus (aka sp Colombia) because they are gorgeous and grow fast. Plus, they have incredible feeding response.

 

[cold blood]

No avics, no pokies and no Psalmopeous...criminal behavior...practically....lol.

Nhandu is another great genus.
