I think that both species are beautiful. I've also been wanting a G. rosea lately, but they're so difficult to find unless they're extremely small slings. I'm not sure if I'd have the patience for the extremely slow growth rate. N. tripepii though....so tempting! That and N. colroatovillosus are my favorite of the genus.
They are pretty interesting. Adult females look amazing! Especially with those thick back legs.
Yeah they are impressive looking Ts. There behaviour is interesting too even if you hardly see them.
I actually purchased another one here about 4 months ago. Fell in love with them all over again. Just did a rehouse yesterday. My gf got to see first hand why myself and others say don’t get one as a first T if you’re a beginner haha. Zoom zoom.
Ive never owned one but not for the faint hearted?
I apologize. I read that as p.murinus as in OBT. I actually haven’t owned one either, but I do plan on adding one to my collection. From my understanding however, they spend a ton of time in their burrow.
Apparently the definition of pet hole. Having said that there is something about that burrowing behaviour that is fascinating.
I’m right there with you on the burrowing. Especially when they make it where you can see it.
Both are on my list too.
They are great. One of my all time favorites. I myself just recently got a C. Marshalli as a freebie. I never had an interest in the horned baboons but the personality on this little guy got me really excited about them.
I'm way more fond of my Bumba cabocla than I thought I would be. They were never on my list, but I was given a tiny spiderling as a gift. Turns out she's female and a really lovely species - very different looking. Mine still spends most of her time burrowed, she's only about 2", but I understand that they become more visible with size. My girl only comes out like this when she's hungry. On the slower growing end for a tropical species, but they have a voracious appetite and very rarely fast. They're fast and skittish, but I've never seen any defensive behaviour from her.
Awww......she's lovely. Now I REALLY, really want one...I'm way more fond of my Bumba cabocla than I thought I would be. They were never on my list, but I was given a tiny spiderling as a gift.
