I´ve really always just accepted it as fact, however now I´m intrigued as they tend to come from similar environments to the other Brachys. Does anyone know? Thank You!
Why do I have panic attacks when I have to call to order food but my father doesn't?I´ve really always just accepted it as fact, however now I´m intrigued as they tend to come from similar environments to the other Brachys. Does anyone know? Thank You!
True, and my Boehmei is my angriest tarantula. It will kick hair half a dozen times in one feedingNot all are same.
Just for an example:
While this is not about Brachypelma, but my Chilobrachys fimbriatus is out and about a lot, while @Tarantuland’s one is not.
Ive always wondered these types of questions too- no one has any ideaI´ve really always just accepted it as fact, however now I´m intrigued as they tend to come from similar environments to the other Brachys. Does anyone know? Thank You!
All my hamorii are more chill than my Boehmei , but I have 3 hamorii and only one boehmei.Who said B. boehmei is more skittish than all other Brachypelma species? I have adult, or near adult, females of all Brachypelma species except B. albiceps and B. baumgarteni in my collection and they are all the same in disposition. I guess the exception is my B. emilia, which is a bit calmer, but all of the others are terribly quick to kick hairs and prone to short bursts of speed.
In a general sense, people severely under estimate how the captive environment can effect behavior. Just because Joe and Jane both have the same species of tarantula and Jane's is more skittish than the Joe's, the difference in behavior may very well be because Joe and Jane keep their tarantula differently and not an indication of different personalities. Maybe Joe's calm tarantula is kept a few degrees cooler than Jane which could explain the difference. Or maybe Jane's tarantula doesn't use its hide causing it to be more defensive.
