I only have two at the moment, a platyomma, and a sp. Machalla. I would love to own more of these - I think they are beautiful! One of mine is a juv, the other a sling, and so far they both seem comfortable with being display Ts for me! Can't wait to see the smaller (sp Machalla, named Fortunato) molt, as I think he's in premolt at the moment.
I have an adult female P.antinous and a juvie sp.Machalla. I love'em both, Machalla is a great eater and P.antinous is just damn beautiful with jet black body and long red hairs. Great genus!
I am loving my Pamphobeteus sp. "South Ecuador". She's about 6" right now and eating anything that touches her substrate. Got her as a $15 1.25" sling in January and is already a beast! Can't go wrong with any Pampho.
Indeed, Lord sharpfang of California! This is an understatement! I thought my LP was the champion of pigging out, but when I bought my Pampho, I soon found out that it is the Kobayashi of the T world! Not only is the feeding response 100x crazier than the LP, but just the size of the meals dwarfs any other tarantulas that I've seen.
Platyomma & machala here both superb feeders ,not sure whether to get Antinous or Nigracolour next tho? Fancy a really heavy built jet BLACK with scarlet abdominal setae ?? Or am i look8ng more at Xenethis for that???btw i KNOW how old this thread is but maybe SOMEBODY is still alive here?
Carapace looks just like my Machala's though the Machala has darker markings visible on abdomen,the same pattern as slings but black on lighter tone of black.
I have Pamphobeteus nigricolor Ecuador.
it’s a little jerk. If I breathe at it wrong, BOOM, hair kicks.
that said, I love it to pieces. The males are a gorgeous deep purple as adults and I am praying to whatever higher power exists in this universe that I have a male here.
Solaris and Platyomma, but I gotta say, I love them all. Pamphobeteus is one of my favorite genus.
My P. sp solaris is the most docile T I've ever had. Like seriously, in all the time I had her, it never kicked hair, always chill, great eater, etc. Probably my favorite T in my collection alongside my C. versi.
I really like the way that Platyomma and Ultramarinus look. I'm going to buy myself a species from this genus for Christmas this year . Solaris is also gorgeous, but holy crap are they expensive.
