Hi, I'm quite new to spidars, I currently have a juvi mexican blood leg. I'd like another, possibly 2 more spids but I'm not quite sure what as there is so much choice!! I'm not a fan of handleing them as I can be clumsy, it's more something to observe. Are there any species that are out and about more than others?

Thanks

Anyone any advice?

Chromatapelma cyaneopubescens - Greenbottle Blue Tarantula

VERY colourful, excellent webs, very hardy, relatively easy husbandry. They are my favourite T's.

Acanthoscurria geniculata - Brazillian White Knee Tarantula

Gorgeous markings, grows to a decent size and they make excellent display T's as they tend to be quite active (in my experience)

Those are some stunning spidars!! Neither of which is something I'd considered so far, thank you.

your welcome.

Another good one is Psalmopeous cambridgei - Trinidad Chevron. These are gorgeous spiders worthy of any collection. I dont have a decent pic of mine yet as it's too bloody quick!

Or the one in my signiture, Xenesthis immanis - Columbian lesserback. Can be a bit pricey but worth it if you can find one.

I absolutly love your GBB! The OH wants a Cobolt Blue tho. We have managed to agree on Red Chilli rose tho.

How do I convince him that we also get a greenbottle blue aswell? Like I said he wants a cobolt as well but to be honest they are beutiful but scary!
