Docile Aboreal?

[KWISE89]

I'm new to the hobby and thinking about getting a second aboreal T. I have an Avicularia Avicularia and love how docile she is. Just looking for some educated suggestions on another docile species. Thanks!

C versicolor. Its basically an Avic avic in crazy colors (not technically speaking).

I had an A. avicularia years ago. My new A. purpurea and C. versilcolor both seem pretty similar in behavior and temperament. I sure like them!

Cool, thanks guys!

I am glad yo hear about the Avicularia Avicularia. I should have one delivered today!

My C versicolor is a bit of a spaz but still fairly non-aggressive. Most of the Avics or formerly classified Avics are pretty laid back in terms of not being aggressive. A urticans is supposed to be an exception to that according to some sources.

Pretty much any Aviculria species.

Antillena rickwesti is very docile too

Poecilotheria. I can only say I've had two, a mettalica and a regalis, I've handled both and not been bitten, they showed no aggression just skittishness.
J/k I didnt handle them per say, rather, they were ON me. Seriously though, they showed no defensive behavior...I don't classify either of them as aggresive, defensive, w/e. I just don't recommend handling them, because of pattycakes.

Poecilotheria are clearly not calm or docile though

I think the P. Mettalica is gonna be the first old world I get. Those ones look sooo cool. Though, im not sure I'm ready for that just yet.

My P. metallica is amongst my most placid Ts.

Avicularia avicularia has been the only tarantula to sink its fangs in me in the last 36 years...and she was docile.
