[QUOTE="TarantulaHawk687, post: 221088, member: 39564"] What would you say the temperament of the P. cambridgei is in your experience (if you've owned any)? On the other arachno-forum one guy said "Really depends on what you feel comfortable with. I got a pair of irminia after keeping a versicolor, and I would recommend keeping an arboreal for long enough to become familiar with how they can react during rehousing before getting an irminia (I haven’t kept cambridgei)." another guy said "I have raised 2 cambridgei from spiderlings, as well as pulcher, irminia, and reduncus. There’s not a difference in care between them, but the cambridgei are definitely out way more, and have an insane feeding response. If you’re one of those people who want to handle (which I would advise against), want to use something to tickle the t out for photos (whatever it is will get attacked), or are generally jumpy around spiders I’d say don’t get Psalmopoeus. On the other hand, they grow fast, are beautiful (IMO), have that great feeding response, and I haven’t seen defensiveness out of mine personally. If you keep other spiders first and don’t have issues with nervousness or anything when they jolt or run, then I think Psalmos could be great for a second or third spider. They can be fast though for sure, and everything is food to them." and then a 3rd guy just straight up said "NO - some people can barely manage slow moving Ts that walk on 2 dimensions! Now you want to add a 3rd dimension. " so I've got some varying responses already. [/QUOTE]
