However, they may not always be out and about. Some nice blue Ts that usually don't spend all their time hiding are Pterinopelma sazimai, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, and many of the Avicularia.Ts in general aren't very good show animals though, as they are naturally pretty reclusive. The most showy species are usually New World terrestrials, although you can never tell for sure until you have the spider in your care.</blockquote>
