Which one to choose?

[drurymercy]

Oh my gosh I wanted a specificc species but now I have a big cart going I’m pretty confident on terrestrials I’ve never tried fossorials yet and just got an arboreal a few weeks ago then brought home another the A Metallica with a bad grip. But I’m loving these arboreals so I’m deciding between Amazonius cf. burgessi, or a Tapinauchenius sp. violaceus. What do u guys think? Pros and cons between the 2 or can I not go wrong with either choice?

Hahaha I have been I saw the coolest video of a C versicolor swimming!! I have one of those in my cart also! I was intimidated by arboreals for the longest time but they are so much fun to watch and I’m loving seeing how ppl build their enclosures!! I got a ton of fake leaves and plants. lol my terrestrials just bulldoze everything so their enclosures don’t get to look as pretty but I will search some more on just these 2 specific species see what else I can find!! Thank you!! I was just searching arboreals I didn’t even think to search their specific species

I think you should care for a slow arboreal for a WHILE before moving on to new more advanced species

Looking at pics and reading more threads I decided on the A burgessi!! Such a pretty tarantula!!

Also super fast, no different than a Tapinauchenius. Be prepared to collect her from the ceiling if she wants to bolt.

I will be!! It just seemed they were a little less defensive. But I know each spider is different so I guess we will see!!

Agreed. I took care of Aviculariinae for a little over a year before jumping to Psalmopoeus. My Avic is fiesty too lol

The time needed is different for everyone though! If the idea of a rehouse of that species fills you with anxiety and fear, then you aren't ready.

Smart

Smart

Each spider is very individualized though, can't stress that enough. I've gotten more threat poses from my Avicularia than any Psalmopoeus as of late lol

Well I got my order and Tom gave me a P victori for a freebie! So I’m happy!!!! Here’s my new haul! lol but man tinier then I expected but the C versicolor little jumped and rolled on its cricket and my little freebie sprinted and chased his!! I love how arboreals go after their food!! Thank u everyone for your advice I really appreciate it since u have all done this for so long and with all types I really respect everyone here
