Tarantula suggestions

[fuzzylover]

I am looking at getting a new world arboreal tarantula but I don’t know what species to get. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Have a look at some of these:-
Iridopelma hirsutum
Tapinauchenius genus
Avicularia and Caribena
Psalmopoeus
Phormingochilus arboricola

Psalmopoeus cambridgei. They grow to a decent size, are fairly chilled & normally out on display as adults.

Many people claim that P cambridgei are defensive. But neither of ours are, they feed well & are easy to care for. We keep plenty of cover in the enclosures of our T's that have a tendency towards skittishness & the T will always choose cover over standing & defending, given the choice.

Both of ours were brought at a show about 2 - 3 years ago. Both are female. We keep them in Tarantula Room enclosures which have a lip between the side & the lid. This makes escape much less likely when the lid is off & gives another tight spot to push into. We use an inch of coir, with a bark tube, plus a good wrapping of artificial ivy around the bark.

Avicularia and Caribena are good ones.Check for care sheets on how to take care of them.
