No kidding.There is nothing funnier than a sling that thinks it's scary.
My most defensive tarantula BY FAR is a 1/4" Brachypelma boehmei. You can barely see it but it threat postures all the time! Can't wait until it gets biggerThere is nothing funnier than a sling that thinks it's scary.

It would probably try to bite my phone lol!Pics or it didn’t happen,J/K
Basically my experience as well, the only NW Ts in my collection that have a defensiveness comparative to my OWs are among my Psalmopoeus. And if I'm being honest, I'd say they're worse than most of my OWs lol.Maybe I've been "lucky" but I've never had an overly defensive A. genic or any Phormictopus sp.
My only NW species that is just as defensive as my OW's has been P. irminia.
Can you please come and tell that to Orangina, my OBT? She used to be a perfectly normal OBT, living happily in her burrow, ocasionally poking red feet out the front opening. Then she molted... I don't know what got into her, but whenever I open the enclosure now Orangina is ready to attack. I haven't rehoused, the enclosure is still big enough, the burrow is obviously established, but everytime I open the enclosure something orange comes speeding out and attacks my tongs and then threat postures all over the place, rapidly moving around the enclosure for the next threat posture. In over 200 spiders I've never had anything the like. It's the only spider where I won't fully open the enclosure when I feed/water and believe me, she can keep her boli (they dry out anyway). My Pokies are so much easier, all 10 of them.For this reason alone a pokie is a more advanced t that pretty much any terrestrial/fossorial OW, OBT included.
I think she resents her name (which I like very much).Can you please come and tell that to Orangina, my OBT?

I think it's nice. I mean, it could have been "Tang".I think she resents her name (which I like very much).
I agree, I like the name.I think it's nice. I mean, it could have been "Tang".
Stealing this name if I ever get an OBT.I think it's nice. I mean, it could have been "Tang".
Dang, I was too late... So, what should I name my OBT?...Stealing this name if I ever get an OBT.
