Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tortoise Tom" data-source="post: 131685" data-attributes="member: 27883">Great list. I'm also looking to add a trio of B albiceps, so I love that choice. I'm new to keeping arboreals, but I fed my P. irminia earlier today, and holy cow was that fun and exciting! It didn't wait for the roach to wander near by, it actively came out and hunted that roach down. It happened quickly, but it was so much fun to watch him work. I think you'll be happy with that one based on my limited experience and what I've read.After reading all the posts from Lightning and SpellKaster, I've decided to try the Lasiodora genus. Everything about them seems great to me from what I've read. Good eaters, hang out in the open a lot, grow fast and get big, nothing special or difficult in their care.M. robustum and M. balfouri are also on my radar. Also looking at E. cyanoganthus, just because they seem interesting to me.Found a new one while browsing last night that I'd like to try: Oprhanaecus philippinus. Very different looking type of tarantula and very colorful.The possibilities are endless. I look forward to pics and stories about whatever you get.</blockquote>
