Pamphobeteous species are strongly sexually dimorphic, more so then the vast majority of others.The males have stunning colors. The females have a huge impressive build.  They can also be colorful & they get huge.  They are comparable to Lasiodora species and only T stirmi out T blondi are much larger. They are also much easier to keep alive then those other two.I don't have Acanthoscurria species but from what I hear, they are probably more like Lasiodora species then Pamphobeteous species. Having said that, it's still pretty similar.Oh, & by the way, here's my L klugi #1 display tarantula aka Justina.[ATTACH=full]33538[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33539[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]33540[/ATTACH]They are similar to Pamphobeteous, but less moisture dependent. Just keep the water dish full at all times and don't let the frog moss (which they love) dry out.L parahybana & L difficilis are also popular in the hobby as well & a bit more affordable because it's easier to breed them.L fracta & L striatipes are also totally awesome.</blockquote>
