Does anyone have any thoughts on a suntiger t was looking at getting one
Arboreal (more fossorial, some say they are quite defensive. I'm not raising a P. irminia yet, but I'm certain care is similar to P. cambridgei as well as habits, so expect a fairly easy to raise species that is quite fast. Psalmopoeus like to hide behind dirt curtains. I barely see my P. cambridgei once a month if that.

Psalmopoeus irminia are one of my favorites. They aren't as defensive as Psalmopoeus cambridgei though. My cambridgei are always throwing up threat postures. Irminia aren't Fossorial at all...they dont burrow at all. All mine sit out on their corkbark on display all the time. They are extremely fast and will bolt out of their enclosures before you can react....cambridgei also. Care is the same as all Psalmopoeus. Slightly moist substrate and stuff to climb and perch on. If you use a cork slab they will make dirt curtains. If you use a cork tube they will not. I can walk in my T room and see my suntigers anytime, @Enn49 can not.;)

I feel bad for you...all my cambridgei are out. Even my irminia.
