Recommend Dwarf Ts!

[lemonfjord]

What are some smaller tarantulas that you have and recommend? I've started my journey of acquiring and maybe down the line breeding dwarf Ts. I have a H formosus (...large? too small to tell, seller was unsure too), D. pentaloris, and C elegans. And in the future I want to get Ts from the genuses (geni? someone lmk) Dolichothele, Cyriocosmus, and various other small species like Avicularia minatrix and Idiothele mira. How do you feel about the smaller guys?

My dwarf collection currently only consists of D. pentaloris, K. brunnipes, and H. formosus. With that being said, I will happily recommend K. brunnipes. Cute patterns, good little eater, very active, easy to keep, and a fun attitude! Loving dwarfs so far!

(Also, the plural of genus is genera )

Yeah sounds about right. Mine didn't eat for a month before molting at around the same size as yours . I'm super lucky as the burrow is against the side of the enclosure.

They have a unique trait

Not true, other NWs lack UrS

I typed A paloma in google and the first thing that popped up was this:

"Aphonopelma paloma" who's coming up with this rubbish?

Here are links to three photos by another forum member on the "Tarantula Identification" part of this forum, i'd like to chat to all here about those more directly. http://www.arachnoboards.com/ab/gallery/showimage.php?i=38475&c=11...

I am definitely going to research this more. Thanks.

Try searching with "pocock" or "Hamilton" or "Aphonopelma revision" you'll find her

All specimens of that genus cost me 25$

that is gratuitous knife in the wound 🥲 sigh.

When i said unique, i did not mean it as in them being the only ones. You are definitely right, there are others that do not have them. For lack of better english capacities, i did not know how to phrase it. I find it “unique” but perhaps i should have said: they are different from most NW. Maybe that would have been read better. Thanks for pointing it out, i dont want to give bad information.

That is such a beautiful tarantula. Definitely on my list of Tarantula’s I do not need. It is one of those spiders that if you could only have ONE, you would never get bored.

Still a bit steep, but so, so lovely.
