Ever try ordering a spider and then see this….

What’s the difference between these species? I mean I’m sure you guys with more experience are gonna be all like, they are very different. Which one would you buy? Are their temperament different/similar? I mean I am toying with the idea of buying Thrixopelma loncolli as Tom Moran has a vid and it’s behavior could be said to be similar to h Chilensis. But who knows. I mean they look so similar.

I’ve never raised either species nor was I aware Homoeomma sp. blue got a revision. I have heard they are nothing like H. chilensis temperament wise. They are apparently quite skittish, even defensive at times. If you want something similar that supposedly is not quite as skittish, I’ve heard good things about Thrixopelma lagunas,

As far as the difference between the two, I am going to attempt to summon @sdsnybny

If some one could combine my two posts that would be great.

Forgot to add that the T. cyaneolum supposedly has a temperament that rivals H. chilensis. I know of some keepers who say it would be the best beginner species if they weren’t so rare.

How do Thrixopelma pruriens compare to cyaneolum and H. chilensis?

It’s all different species. There used to be a Homeomma sp Blue, a Homeomma sp Blue Peru, and a Homeomma sp Blue Peru 2. They were reclassified a few years ago. The ex Homeomma sp Blue Peru is a dwarf whereas the ex Blue Peru 2 is normal sized. Everything is fine on FNT’s site so go ahead and order.
