New world Suggestions

[regalis]

So I'm looking for a new world 'pet rock'. Something that will always be on display for when my niece and nephew come to look at my bug room.

I want something colourful BUT...... not the same old red/ orange and black

I have no idea about new world pet rocks so any ideas would be appreciated

A Chalcodes is what instantly springs to mind. Not the most colourful thou. Gbb is another option for colourful and on display but by no means a pet rock.

Pamphobeteus machala

:L. I did say machala to the missus but have to imagine the rock is tumbling down a mountain

Well you've ruled out most of the brachys (definitely pet rocks!) as you don't want black and orange which is a shame...
As I would have said hamorii but instead I'd go for a phormictopus.. Big beautiful Ts although not the prettiest make up for it with feeding response and attitude

Grammostola pulchripes.... would that be classed as a pet rock?

Not bad. Similar colour legs as my lil golden blue leg sling...

Yes.. Get one! lol.. One of our favourites for sure.. Any Grammy(except the rosea) over an 1"half will be out and about, bags of personality and great to watch - never mentioned them as not the most colourful definitely a real favourite

I just dont feel the whole orange and black thing. It's like instantly what I think of when I hear new world. It makes me (sorry if I upset any new world fans lol).

Eupalaestrus campestratus
Pterinopelma sazimai
Acanthoscurria geniculata

I think the middle one is a good option. I know now my biggest hang up with new worlds.... I instantly compare them to my beloved poecilotheria lol

I’m a big big fan of E Campestratus but good luck finding one with any size to it. Even if you do they don’t tend to sit out much (only at night from what mine is like) are very pretty thou even thou they are quite small.

Any cyriocosmus species, though I don't think they are "pet rocks"

 

[octanejunkie]

Go big pet rock!

Nhandu chromatus
Lasiodora parahybana
Acanthoscurria geniculata

I'm having trouble finding the right rock. They just dont give me the tingle that I get from o/w I'm just used to big, fast t's that want to kill you from above lol

How about going for a xenesthis sp blue .... beautiful colours new world not your normal average orange or black some amazing colours will need to get at least at 10 cm as some of the xenesthis species can grow huge...!! But can also come with a huge price tag
