I voted for G. pulchra. I have 2 of them. They're great eaters, attack anything that moves.

If your budget allows, get all of them.

 

[G. pulchra]

That was an easy choice, and if you have any questions on keeping G. pulchra just let me know.

Well if you're having trouble with your genic's urticating hairs, steer clear of the b.boehmei. Those things are hair flicking machines. Get a Caribena versicolor. Pretty, docile spider that can't really flick urticating hairs.

Actually C. versicolor is one of the only Avics that can throw UT's, I believe that's one of the reasons it was reclassified to Caribena
Here in post 14

All Avics have urticating hairs, what sets versicolor apart is being to kick them off (like terrestrial T's), rather them simply press them into you.

And this
BERTANI, R., T. BOSTON, Y. EVENOU & J. P. L. GUADANUCCI (2003). Release of urticating hairs by Avicularia versicolor (Walckenaer, 1837) (Araneae, Theraphosidae). Bulletin of the British Arachnological Society 12 (9): 395-398.

Alright fellow arachnophiles, this girl is looking for her next T but is stumped on which one to get. I've narrowed down the list, but I need some opinions

What species do you have so far, is it just the genic, or do you have others? I love my little blueberry slings (C. versicolor), and that's what I voted for, but the A. avic and B. emilia are great choices as well. G. pulchra is on my wish list, for sure, but I can't comment on them personally besides how gorgeous they are. Ultimately, I think you'll be happy with any on this list.

Shameless plug for my vote
Adult Female C. versicolor and her date!

Beautiful! I am so looking forward to watching my blueberries grow up.

Okay, I need a bit of info before voting. What do you have now? And are you getting a sling or something approaching an adult (for example, I would maybe vote chalcodes, but only if you are planning on getting one that's at least a sub-adult 'cause they grow like molasses).

 

[kevinlowl]

Caribena caribena

 

[GreyPsyche]

I voted versi but I had almost no personal experience until today.

 

[basin79]

Voted for Avicularia versicolor (Caribena Versicolor).

I have an A geni sling and it's about the size of a penny. My other T is an adult G rosea, and she's kind of a jerk. But its cute

 

[Paiige]

I'd definitely say the G. pulchra! My B. boehmei is the flickiest T I have ever met and if you're not a fan of hairs (or are very sensitive to them) maybe stay away from a boehmei That being said, they are beautiful!

Looloo
