What To Do…

Or another favorite would be... Hapalopus columbia lg. "pumpkin patch". Can't beat the heart on the butt.

If I’m ever going to buy an M. balfori, it’s going in a communal which, sadly, I don’t have the room for. But the idea of keeping spiders together fascinates me. I’m a little scared of what happens if i wind up with males and females and they make babies though. I haven’t researched enough

Normally the males mature before the females and it depends on how many you keep and mature to be females .

If you are wanted to get your first OW I’d recommend H pulchripes. Still one of my favorites.

What are you feeding that one? Banana splits?

Neoholothele incei is a new world dwarf species and can be kept communally. They come in 2 colors, olive or gold, are great webbers and are very affordable

I have the same feelings about the M. balfori. They are on my future list.

Hi all!

I’ve been on the struggle bus with my depression recently and my fiancé has given me the green light to buy another tarantula. I’m not sure if I’m going to because I don’t know if the happiness of buying it will outweigh the added item to my list of stressors right now. (Yes, I know tarantulas are pretty easy animals to keep but depression does weird things to your brain and makes mountains out of molehills.)

Right now I have seven. All slings or small juveniles and they are…
B. hamorii (2” DLS - just started showing it’s adult colors after last molt)
T. apophysis (2” DLS)
N. chromatus (Sold as 1/8” DLS but it looks bigger than that, imo, and hasn’t molted yet)
X. sp. white (1.5” DLS)
C. cyaneopubescens (no clue how big this one is, it molted on Saturday and hasn’t come out of its hide yet)
A. avicularia (3-3.5” DLS)

I’m considering a Birupes but have no experience at all with OW’s so that’s an iffy one.

That said, tell me what bright and colorful tarantulas you would buy if you were in my shoes. I am 100% not ready for a pokie, though. As beautiful as they are, it’s not something I’m prepared to take on.

C. Versicolor could be a good option for you. Vibrant colors in every stage, mild venom and docile temperament. I’ve had an easy time with mine.

Wow what an awesome collection! Bravo! And yes personal journey, Ts (8) are a temporary solution to usually a spiritual need. They do keep me busy and distracted lol.

I hope the sun shines "inside" for you soon. ⚒

What lovely photos...what great suggestions...
I am, however, voting for you to get off that bus first (^_^)
When the right time comes ...you will know exactly which one...
All that said...I have a P.ornata...she is only speedy getting back in her hidey-hole when I open her home to clean or feed/water...
I am of the 'leave them in peace - they don't need petted' - ilk...they don't bother me; I don't 'bother' them...they do always amaze and entertain me.

Here is a young female Harpactira pulchripes, now as aggressive as your typical baboon tarantulas.
