Tell me about your most food-crazy Ts!

[TenebrisAvicularia]

I have three tarantulas myself: An adult male Avicularia avicularia, juvenile male Tliltocatl albopilosus and a juvenile female Chilobrachys fimbriatus.
I'm fascinated by their personalities. The male avic is very chill, I can open his enclosure, take pics, water him and do maintenance and he doesn't care.
The C. fimbriatus is very shy and skittish, but has never been defensive. She can be inquisitive when she's calm.

My T. albopilosus though? He's a bit of a lunatic. Not defensive, he actually seems to fear nothing after his most recent molt. He used to be a bit more timid, not by much though.
He attacks water when I fill his dish. He once had a feeding response to me when I had barely walked into the room, colliding with the side of his enclosure in an attempt to lunge in my direction. Another time, a cricket escaped me while feeding one of my others. Of course, the T. albo was trying to get to it, even though it was outside his vivarium.
He is not shy, he sits out when I open the enclosure, sometimes he'll even approach me. Anything put in his enclosure dies within seconds. He's currently around 2.8 inches and is the most bold tarantula I've ever seen.

Does anyone else have Ts with very strong feeding responses? I'd love hear about them.

My albopilosus used to have a very strong feeding response but as she starting becoming an elderly lady, she became much more forgiving with the bugs. Currently I'd say my ancient boehmei has the strongest, and has had for a longtime now. As well I've noticed the last couple of feedings my juvie c. fimbriatus has a solid response and will pop from his tunnel and slam dunk his prey.

My T kahlenbergi has never refused a meal. She spends most of the time underground during day but the second a cricket hits the ground in her enclosure....
The acrobatics I have seen this spider perform

My old C. marshalli used to be incredibly food driven, she would lunge enthusiastically at anything, including actual food items and water.

My Sericopelma sp Bouquete saf Daphne, she's 7.5 inches of pure greed, anything even touches her viv n she's there to eat it.
I did an experiment once wanted to see how many giant superworms she would take in one sitting, I gave up at 7 she had so many she was dropping them to catch more. (The worms were beheaded first.) She ate them all too left hardly anything and I have a feeling she would of kept taking if I kept dropping them in. Girls got hollow legs at all times .

Yes

I love my mature male Avic as well! He actually has a great feeding response so far, so I'm pleased that he will likely be around a bit still. As far as my other best feeders, my juvie female A. geniculata (obviously), and my 2 adult female P. cambridgei are always super fired up about their meals. And of course my juvie male T. apophysis, who loves to eat and kick hairs in equal measure.

 

[Smotzer]

My Psalmopoeus cambridei is probably my most food motivated, closely seconded by Grammostola cf. pulchra and Cyriocosmus elegans.

 

[MysteryInc]

My T. stirmi is incredibly greedy, she's never once not devoured a meal. My H. pulchripes sling is a great eater so far too.

The ones that aren’t mature males.

The ones that aren’t mature males.

Ain’t that the truth!!

 

[TheraMygale]
