Oh no theres a big vent hole up top haha, i noticed i took the picture with the lid off so it does appear that its solid
Hey, I'd've given the same answer for $4. Too slow, I guess.Just buy another, slightly larger tarantula to put in the empty container. Problem solved! That'll be $5.
Took your advice got me a sweet juvenile Hatian brown today shes very sweet and quick to!Just buy another, slightly larger tarantula to put in the empty container. Problem solved! That'll be $5.
DrearyFate-not funny. Haitians can be VERY defensive, bitey. I'd hate to see you getting bitten. Be very careful. PS. beautiful specimen.
MassE- I didn't know that. Do you keep P. 'Green'?
I have a 6" sub adult female and three slings
I love Phormictopus. They're very tough, active and gorgeous. From what I've seen so far, their angry reputation is undeserved. Not that it would bother me. I also have 2 atrichomatus slings, and I'm going to grab a as many other species as possible.
I'm with @MassExodus on this one; Phormictopus is my favorite terrestrial genus. I, too, have seen little of their infamous attitude with any of the seven species I keep. Mine range between skittish and pretty chill overall. They are fantastic eaters with one of the best feeding responses I've ever seen, so I'd just be really careful when sticking your hand in there. I've had one leap at me from across the enclosure when it mistook me for food.
Agreed, they eat like the giants. I've seen your vids of the purples, needless to say I'll be picking a few upCongratulations! Fantastic choice (although you may be the first person to ever use the words "Haitian brown" and "sweet" in the same sentence!).
I also like the fact that you can get a cancerides female, wc of course, pretty cheap. The males can be stunning in this genus, just like Pamphobeteus

Yeah its one of the reasons I like Phormictopus, Pamphobeteus, Xenesthis, etc. Most of the females in the giant genera are brown though. It bothers me not at all. Brown is beautiful, and color isnt everything. If I had to choose between my gbb, versicolor and female stirmi..guess what? There would be some pretty colorful spiders being sold..Which reminds me...I have to get video of my purple female. She starting to show some sweet color. I'm glad to see that these are becoming more popular in the hobby. Used to be no one wanted them because they thought they were just boring big brown spiders! And the males are definitely gorgeous. One of the few instances where you don't mind getting a male.
