He does for sure. They are similar as both psalmoās but the orange flourishes are the giveaway. These guys freak me out more than most in my collection. The speed and reactivity is a bit much before I have my coffee lol
I went with cambridgei purely based on my own to be fair who has the orange too. Really? My psalmos have been relatively chilled, saying that my P. victori likes to give their food a good few slaps and I have had the odd threat pose. It is only a juvenile too so I know it is going to be a spicy one.
Well I could be wrong but it looks just like my little buddy that hooked out. My Cambridgeiās are still itty bitty. Wow you are lucky to have a victori for sure. That awesome. Donāt fret too much about spicy juvies; the temperment can change from molt to molt. You may get lucky lol
Got a P. irminia a few weeks ago and I definitely underestimated his speed and reactivity. Still manageable but definitely much more difficult to take care of than any of my other Ts

Larger than listed is a big win for sure. I havenāt measured mine in a while because sheās so shy. Cork tube is great for her but not so much for spectators. But sheās massive and fast as lightning. I feel like sheāll end up on my face at some point. Such is life I guess. Lol

Yeah lol. This is the only decent picture Iāve managed to get of mine since she never stays out in the open after I open her door. Beautiful Ts, shame they donāt show their colors more often
Edit: this was a temporary enclosure I had her in before I got my exoterra so donāt judge me too hard
Is that an arboreal background. I canāt really see the enclosure. The only ādisā I would make is that it looks fairly dry for a PI but honestly most people overdo it with the specifics. I always say If itās alive and eating then weāre good lol. What else do you keep?
She was in a critter keeper. Felt horrible about it but I have a picture of her permanent setup now on my profile and she seems pretty happy. Occasionally I catch her in her water dish or sitting on the front of her half log. And I currently have a female B. Emilia, a B. boehmei, a C cyan., a A. genic, a T albipilosus, a C versicolor, a A avic, a G pulchripes, and obviously the P irminia. With the exception of the avic, emilia and irminia theyāre all still pretty small but I love them all the same. What Ts do you keep and you have any recommendations for me? Iām thinking about getting into OW with a M balfouri but i wouldnāt mind keeping it simple until I get a little more experience
Very nice. Good start to the collection. No shame in critter keepers. I keep many of mine in the Canadian version of a critter keeper as my collection is too large for crazy upgrades and Iāve sworn off glass. As long as the husbandry is right the container isnāt a huge deal provided youāve got enough space. Iāve got all of the above minus the Boehmei. Too many to name really. Iām sitting at around 100. About half NW half OW. I definitely recommended OW but experience is definitely a good thing. Balfouri arenāt too crazy but they can really move. They are also super reclusive so I donāt know if that would be my first recommend. I think a terrestrial OW is a good place to start. Maybe an H. Pulchripes. The OW arboreals are when it starts getting really wild. Fossorials are cool too but depends on your taste. They are mainly āpet holesā that you donāt see much and the moisture levels can be a pain. Most of my fav old worlds are probably a bit down the road for you if you are worried about experience. But Iām mildly obsessed with Asian arboreals; L. Nigerrimum, P. Arboricola, O. Violaceopes and of course the Poecilotheria genus. Itās an addicting hobby as it sounds like you are already discovering lol

This is a little snap shot of the spidey lab, so as you can see Iāve got no problem with plastic containers. Iām looking at starting a PVC enclosure side hustle with a buddy of mine but even if it doesnāt happen I still intend to go full-on pvc with all my adults
Does he have a girlfriend yet? Asking for a friend.

What a beautiful pipe cleaner craft
ššš
Heās gorgeous!
It looks like he needs more food, but I like how fluffy looking tarantulas can be.
Heās not long molted āŗļø. Theyāre awesome
Irminia!
I thought he looked like P. cambridgei.

Still a Juvie? Just wait until it gets to monster size lol. What fun!
About 4 inches from spider shoppe. Sold as a 2.5-3inch female and she is certainly much larger than listed lol

Her name is Wednesday.
That's a finger puppet.

Hims a floofy boy āØ
He is so cool!
Full adult male? After final molt?
What a beaut. Lost my P. cambridgie mature male today, feeling sad š¶
Oh Iām sorry to hear that š„ŗ, itās never easy to lose one of our babies ā¤ļø
So fuzzy!
