[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 126566, member: 26980"] For one thing, I'm not sure if either is available but assuming I have a choice in the future, which is easier to keep? Which is more mentally stable? Yes, I realize that some specimens are defensive or aggressive at times. Does a large hide and a roomy cage mitigate these problems? Tom's big spiders has an excellent genus review of Phormicticus but not Pamphometous sp machala (because it's something else) I've looked at a few of the Pamphometous caresheets but my inner BS detector lights up. It might be just a self inflicted mind game but the BS detector has an excellent track record. Specifically, some people say that they're as tricky to keep as T blondi. Others say it's just like Lasiodora species or a geniculata but just a tad more moist. Are they just a little hyper or an OBT with urticating hairs, another words hell on wheels? Basically since the tragic loss of my balfouri, I'm looking for a purple spider that'll equal my Lasiodora in size, ending up in a 5 gallon tank most likely. Of course, I'll do my usual routine by trying to get a sling about 1.5"-2" in size, unsexed. It's more fun that way and the growth is fascinating. [/QUOTE]
