Suggestions for next arboreal..

[louise f]

I wish I was born in the states, where the land is spacious and the space comes cheap

Me too friend me too.

Black and orange is my favourite colour combo. The irminia IMO is the most beautiful arboreal

Ahahaha Bruce said is first!

I think it is hard to pick a favorite Psalmo, i love all of them. They are beautiful each one of them in their own ways. And they are my favorite aboreals. But the P.ecclesiasticus must be my favorite if i have to pick one of the Psalms

 

[Ceymann]

Yeah louiseF and well, everyone beat me to it. P. irminia for sure !

What about Tapinauchenius?

I like the look of this T. cupreus

Widely regarded as the fastest Ts known to man.

Could be wrong, but believe they are also over 4"

 

[mistertim]

I was gonna suggest a possible Tappie as well...but yeah those are uber fast. However, if the OP has Pokies then he would probably be ok with their speed. I think T. gigas it the largest Tap at 5-6 inches but I think some of the others (like purpureus) only get to around 4 inches. Maybe a little over.

Too bad you can't get a psalmo...I love mine. But yeah, P. cam can apparently get up to 7 inches. Probably a tad large for your setup.

 

[KezyGLA]

Yep I have seen a few videos of them now and after a bit of reading found out the only one over 4-4.5" is the T. gigas.

They seem interesting but lack the colouring apart from one very,very expensive one ahah.

I am swaying towards the A. minatrix, A. diversipes or Psalmopeous langenbucheri, if I can find them.

From what I have seen. They are very fast. It can be a great quality though, when it comes to watching feeding

But not for husbandry

A. metallica is a cool one

I really love, and I mean LOVE, Psalmopoeus pulcher. They are one of the most gorgeous tarantulas ever. I also love P. cambridgei, but P. pulcher is my favourite of the genus by far.
I think they probably get too big for what you're looking for, though.

Due to their looks? I have a pulcher, it's only 3.5" DLS at the moment. But I think irminia are more striking. Maybe I need to wait till it's an adult.

I have searched for hours and found a Psalmo. langenbucheri

Minatrix, Minatrix!

 

[KezyGLA]

Minatrix, Minatrix!

DONT!! I will end up wanting both and have to get another enclosure and sell some of my other babies

 

[Vanessa]

But I think irminia are more striking.

They are gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but I think I would like them more if they were solid black. I have a thing for beige spiders, too. That is why I have this obsession with A. chalcodes.

 

[KezyGLA]

Awch hell. I'm gonna need to clear some space. I am absolutely torn. I dont know which to go for. I can't seen to find avic minatrix yet but I will keep looking. Once I have shifted a few duplicates from the personal collection then maybe I will have room for a new small enclosure

 

[viper69]

Now we're talking, that's what I call prioritizing! Minatrix, minatrix, mintatrix
