I have a pinkbloom it’s pretty easy to care for I just don’t let it dry out too much. They are more moisture dependent then some others but mine is well behaved.

Mine is somewhat skittish but just hides if I disturb it. Definitely likes its substrate a little more moist, but keep ventilation in mind too.

go for it
mine are a little skittish even as younger adults, but apart from beeing stubborn & kicking hairs during rehousings they are great
very hardy, great eaters
just make sure you get them as small as possible, that early pase goes by so quickly and they start out much bigger than many other NWs anyway

Gots 2 of these little beauty's, as mentioned a little jumpy as slings but my sub adults n adults are chill.
I have a 2inch machala sling unsexed called Mini-Mal and a 4.5/ 5 inch female I raised from sling called Maleficent. Both are food bold, like to kick when disturbed, both dug a burrow but never use it, both like a damp sub.
They both eat like pigs, both like to drink alot so make sure you have a good water dish, and my number 1 advice is start little one in a bigger viv then you think. These put on huge size as slings n moult often when small so I would advise you start with at least a 4x4 inch viv or you will be rehousing after the first moult.
They are a great place to start with pampho, my first pampho was Maleficent I have 5 sp and 7 individuals now ranging from 2 inch slings to 7.5 inch females
. They are an addictive genus lol but they are a great just relax n enjoy the colour changes as they grow 
. You have any more questions you know where we are .

Pamphos are quick, skittish and they flick hairs. But very pretty Ts and very rewarding. It might be a good step up for you.
