What other T's can be put with a Rose Hair T?

[l.poehling]

I have an opportunity to get a Rose Hair T. It is an adult, I really would like to have a group eventually.
I would like to get info on what can be housed together with a Rose Hair T....
Colorful is good. and docile will be a great thing too.
It is too late for me to order anything online. Winter hit today, went from 60 degrees-20 degrees.
I hope some of the suggestions are for both, aerial and terrain. We have a 30 gallon tank for the
housing. I will eventually get an open front housing unit. The aquarium will be decked out!!
Thanks for taking the time to read this...........Enjoy Life...

You cannot house any tarantula with a rose hair. Not even another rose hair.

 

[DVirginiana]

You can house a male rosehair with a female rosehair for a few minutes... Then you end up with just the female.

Thanks Feriat, Good thing I have other smaller housing...

I could not do that DVirginiana, We rescue critters, that would break my heart to see that happen.
No, I don't want to hurt them. I will keep her separate if I get her.
Thank you for your answers, good information to know.

lol I wasn't suggesting it with any intention of hurting the male spider, but males of most species die shortly after reaching sexual maturity, and from what I've read are often eaten by the females after mating. I don't know the fine points of T breeding, but I'm still deciding if it would upset me to eventually breed some knowing that there's a good chance the male would be dinner.

I think there are some arboreal species that can be housed communally, but I think it may all have to be the same species. Someone with more knowledge of that can tell you more about that than I can.

It is not safe to house and tarantula togather. If you would like I can give you a list of invert that can be housed togather. There are scorpion that can live to gather.

 

[Feriat]

There are very few tarantulas that will tolerate each other in a communal setting and in all instances its extremely expensive and some will eat each other. Its something that very experienced keepers should only try.

Ive never had a female eat a male while breeding, not to say a few haven't tried. You just gotta sit there and make sure it doesn't happen.

I really like your list DVirginiana. Thank you for the info. I am really just trying to make a good T. hobbyist..

Thanks khatchet but that is a no go on the Scorpion
I am a Scorpion, but they scare the hell out of me. I just got my husband to let me get a T..

I am definitly not ready for breeding Feriat. It would be neat to see, as long as the male survives.
I guess I will stick to a pair or two that can live together.

 

[Feriat]

They will eat each other. So be prepared for that. Just keep them all separate amd you'll be better off.

Thanks Feriat, I will do that. They will be in separate housing then.

If you need help with any thing else you can inbox me on here, more then happy to help.

 

[Ceratogyrus]

The majority of tolerant tarantulas (Tarantulas are not really communal) are old world species, which usually have a bit more potent venom and not usually recommended for beginners. One of these is often a challenge for people just starting in the hobby, now imagine trying to rehouse 5 fast, potentially dangerous spiders at once. Even for more experienced keepers it is quite a challenge. Best to stick to keeping one spider per enclosure until you have enough experience.

Thank You khatchet, I just might be doing that. I hope to get my T. today.

Your so right Ceratogyrus, Re-homing would be a hard at that point.
I think one ground and one aerial. Now for the fun part looking for the ones I like..

 

[khatchet]

I would start with an Avic any type for pink toe other then the giant for aboreal and B smithi the red knee for terestral.

 

[MatthewM1]

I reccomend checking out...
For terrestrial;
Brachypelma albopilosum
B. smithi
B. vagans
Euathlus sp. red

Arboreal:
Avicularia versicolor
A. avicularia
A. metallica
