Hey all. I am in the market for another T. I’d like to get an Old World Terrestrial. I don’t hold my Ts, so I don’t care how aggressive they are. I am looking for a good display species. I have an H. pulchripes that I get to see at night. Of course, all individuals vary, but I am hoping to get one that is more visible than most. Any ideas?

My Thrigmopoeus truculentus and Orphnaecus sp negros are both heavy webbers but spend a lot of time on top of their webs and most of my Ceratogyrus seem to be visible most of the time.

My P Striata sling is fairly visible. Typically she hangs out in the upper right rear corner of the enclosure.

Of course it's not a terrestrial T but very impressive anyway. The nice thing is that she's very calm and will barely react or ignore light or movement outside of the cage.




My M balfouri sling also makes itself visible periodically. She can be found on top of her hide or just outside the burrow at least one a day or every other day.

She's nervous and will dive for cover if there are sudden movements or if you photograph her with a flash more than twice.
