So I was curious about everyones opinion on Psednocnemis brachyramosa? I know they are an OW, small species thats pretty fast, but are they out roaming around or pet holes? Ive read that they are more terrestrial but on all the videos ive seen they act more like a fossorial species. Basically are they a good blue display T? And is it correct they only get about 3"?

Thanks for the help!

Got that one covered,:happy: lol still a sling though, same with my itty bitty Pseudhapalpus blue. Can't wait till they get some color. I have several "blue" spiders but as of now my GBB, P metallica and homoeomma sp blue are my only real display Ts. I dont really consider my xenesthis sp. blue, H. pulchripes and balfouris full "blue". When I saw a P brachyramosa for sale, I was shocked by the color. Ive heard and read up on them, but theres not much info.

I don’t have a brachyramosa. But I do have a Psednocnemis jeremyhuffi. Definitely fossorial, and definitely a pet hole

Gotcha, thanks for the help. I may pass on this one for now. I have way to many tanks of dirt right now.;)

I have raised a few. They're fossorial. Certainly pet holes IME. Shame too, they are very attractive spiders. I have had C. hoggi slings (brachyramosa with leggings) now a few months, these have been on display but I think that'll change with age. They do live in deep burrows in their natural habitat.

Pseudhapalpus blue
You'll be dead before it becomes an adult size. Genus is notoriously slow, as in glacial, They make Brachy's look like FAST growers.

First species you mentioned- prettiest T you'll never see. I love blue, but passed on this one.

Probably similar to my Coremiocnemis Tropix, which is from the genus Brachyramosa used to belong to. A pretty typical burrower with lots of webbing around the entrance, and almost never outside apart from 2 second intervals during feeding

I got a sling recently, labeled something else but mostly likely p brachyramosa for various reasons, anyway... yeah pet hole, and while it's been a recent acquisition, everything else I've gotten recently (in last few months) has molted and this one hasn't so pretty much confirming it's a slow grower. I mean even the brachy auratum sling I got after it just molted way before it probably will. bit disappointed to be honest but prob stick it in the back of the shelf where I don't worry about it and maybe in a few years it'll be more interesting to know it's back there LOL to be fair, it's interesting to watch it form and maintain it's webbed up tunnels of a burrow... the right enclosure may make the spider in this case.
