Breath-taking creature! This species has become my next target in head-to-head combat for next T by P.regalis. :worship:

You need to start breeding them to get more in the hobby.

I'm probably going to be getting some of these guys--specifically, irminia, reduncus, pulcher. Not a big fan of cambridgei for whatever reason.

Would a 5.5 gallon on end be enough for these guys? And I've heard they live longer than Taps or Avics.

I don't know about the other species, I have P. cambridgei, I love the subtle beauty and the all out vicious temper but I think a 5.5g on its end should be just fine. I couldn't tell you about the lifespan though, mines still a juvie.

Would a 5.5 gal work for an adult?
This is for a display tank.

Sure, a 5.5 works great for an adult.

Adult female

Wow, talk about a breath-taking T!

 

[jebbewocky]

Sure, a 5.5 works great for an adult.

I assume a 2.5 gal would be pushing it?
Trying to save space.

Trying to save space.

Yes. 2.5 is the absolute minimum for an adult, but it would still work well.

 

[jebbewocky]

Yes. 2.5 is the absolute minimum for an adult, but it would still work well.

Wow! I figured you'd say that would be a no-no.
I'll take some measurements and do some considering. If the difference in size isn't that much (in terms of taking up space on my shelves) I might go for the 5.5, but if it is substantial I'll go with the 2.5--if they can get by on 2.5 then no point wasting space!

I'll post pics once I have everything!

 

[TiogaWhiteTiger]

P.irminia adult male

 

[mitchnast]

Psalmopoeus irminia, ultimate male:

Fresh molt? I see a single parasitic mite, it is in all the pics of this individual on the outside furrow on his left chelicerae.
another can be seen on the inside, right chelicerae

at least it's a male, But I would think twice before using him for breeding.
