a. chalcodes (the arizona blonde specifically) was one of the first tarantulas I truly fell in love with. i've never understood people's tendency to tell other people what they should like. like i'm sorry you don't have taste but i fail to see why that's my problem.

I keep all of those same species. You got lucky with that gabeli. They're almost never that calm. In my experience, it's one of the more spicy Aphonopelmas out there. Mine will readily throw up threat postures, and slap at anything near it. Another "Aphonopelma but probably something else" you should look into if you don't already have one. Aphonopelma anitahofmannae, the Pedregal tarantula. They're fluffy! I believe they are going to be, or have already been, moved to the genus Dugesiella though. But it looks like Aphonopelma, it walks like Aphonopelma, and it quacks like an Aphonopelma, soooo... yeah, they're pretty cool tarantulas. Also recommend Aphonopelma vorhiesi, Aphonopelma armada, and Aphonopelma iodius. All 3 are native to the US, and are distinct in both appearance, and "personality".

I love my little Aphonopelma chalcodes sling. I've had it for about 1.5 years and it's getting ready to molt for the second time. It's still the size of my pinky nail. I'm looking forward to the long haul experience.
@FallonZoey5 ай бұрын
I love my chalcodes sling too! I've had mine almost 2 years & it has molted a few times. It has not gotten THAT much bigger, but I'm still surprised by the size it has put on. Growing them up from being super tiny does take patience, but I feel accomplishment with every molt. I feel like my little one is fat as he'll, but always looks like it wants to eat, so I call it "fat, fat" or "McFatterson". Lol And it can't make up it's mind if it wants prekilled or live prey. When I give it live, it acts scared, but always eats it later & when I put prekilled in there, it leaves it alone & then eats right after the 24 hour mark...I'm like "make up your mind already. I don't want to stress you out or have you eating spoiled food".

They are so curious and sweet. I love them! My subadult Hentzi and subadult Seemanni are my two largest, at 4 inches, my Moderatum is about 2.5 and my baby Hentzi is almost 3/4 of an inch :) I'm looking for the rest that are on my list. A couple will be difficult to find. I wish you the best with your new babies! Let us know what you name them all ;)

I think there is something to be said about the widespread popularity of Aphonopelma and Brachypelma species... it's kinda like doggies in a way if you consider breeds like golden retrievers and labs. Does EVERYONE seem to have one? Yeah! Cuz they are awesome dogs! The elitists in the hobby forget where they came from. Exotic and rare tarantulas are awesome, absolutely. But you know what else they are??? Expensive. Very expensive. Not everyone has the need or desire to dish out half a rent payment for a spider. You can enjoy the hobby caring for and learning about a species that is affordable and has LOTS of research and information on how to best keep your pet. Idk. Elite tarantula hobbyists remind me of the people that walk around my town with pinched faces and $10,000 Rhodesian Ridgebacks

I personally feel that there is no boring spider. And no boring coloration.. I mean each spider has its own unique look. And none of them really look like the others identically. I mean there's always some variation of pattern in coloration. But you know for people to say that spiders are boring they're not even certain species of spiders are not boring. People that really are into the spider hobby would understand that a bit more.
