Oh I deffeenitly agree man. There colors are awesome and there cheap. Double awesome lol.
I sold my AF last year and the guy who bought her has mated her (although she ate the MM) but still her bloodline will live on and I think I may be getting some free slings ;)

OBT Havent heard anything good about them except for them being reall really sweet looking wich I agree with.
There's plenty good about them! They are VERY hardy. The orange coloring is awesome, so is the green & orange mixture of the star pattern on their carapace. Truely amazing webbers, really.

Mine are setup in kind of tall, half dirt filled containers & have decorated completely different. My female burrowed down in a corner, then towards the middle where I see she has made a bit of a hidden trap entrance.
The male has webbed like crazy. He has a tunnel going down one side to the bottom, across the other side, then back up. Most the substrate above the tunnel is suspended in the air by his webbing :eek: And due to his spastic webbing, he looks like he has way more dirt then he does.

Neither of mine have given me so much as a threat pose yet, I must not poke & prod them enough :D

And no collection is complete without at least one :D You just have to be ready.

Jeeeees....

P.regalis are still awesome!!!

My girl was one of my favourite T's ever!!!
Lol! Don't get me wrong on my comments about P. regalis. They are beautiful & I do love the yellow bands, they just don't make drool the same way that ornata & rufilata do :D

I reccommend Getting a P. Regalis and a P. irminia sling. They are flighty and not yet bitey. They will crawl all over you if they escape the vial but you can try to get used to the speed with less risk of getting bit. Not saying they dont bite as slings, but its less likely.

But if you want to go with an adult go with a P. regalis. I think someone can reccommend a good beginner pokie. But like stated above personality varies.

My first Ts i got went something like this.... G. rosea, H. lividum, P. murinus, P. regalis, A. Seemanni. Ill admit i wasnt ready for a haplo.. Just thank god it was a 3" male and couldnt climb glass.. He was sooo mean!!

The P. murinus is a good starter too. They tend to stand and fight instead of running right away. Its better to have a mean T try to fight then run.. Than to run then fight. {D But when i started out i showed them off to friends to show people how mean they are. {D It didnt take being bit but I have since changed my outlook on that and dont provoke threat displays. :embarrassed:

The OW Ts can be enjoyable to observe when they are just being themself by themself. Also with some feeders over for company. ;P

Im a huge fan of pokies. I started with a rose, but soon had a LP sling and a little P. irminia. I belive my first pokey was my 4th T, and it was a P. pederseni, which I must say seemed to have a somewhat calm temperament. They are incredibly fast, but have some of the most intricate patterns.

OBT was one of my later purchases, but still fun. Mine had 7 legs when I got it. Didnt make a difference, still teleported no problem.
