P. pulcher vs A. versiolor

[MiaWolf42]

I purchased two slings March 29, 2016. My first aboreals. Both have molted once, earlier this month. They are housed in similar enclosures.
My A. versiolor has one tunnel web going up and down on the back of a cork board and never leaves. You can see it's feet when it's waiting for prey.
My P. pulcher has three webs, not as thick. Two are now joined and it stays in them more then the first web. It catches it's prey and carries it to the bottom behind the cork board. It sits out in open on front waiting for prey. I see this tarantula everyday.
I think it's neat how different the personalities are.

Love both of these spiders, when I was first looking I seriously wanted a P. cambridgei, after doing research I found the pulcher and loooved it. Ended up going with a B. albo sling. Now that i also own an A. avic, I seriously am wanting the Psalmo.... why must this hobby be soo addicting???

I hadn't looked up aboreals for a while but after reading posts it sparked an interest. Someone had a photo and was asking what kind of tarantula it was. I googled it and found it was a P. pulcher. Then I read about it. Then I bought one! Never thought I'd have seven tarantulas at one time. I'm used to maxing out at three at a time. My last two males passed away of old age. I keep hoping for females...

I am addicted to tarantulas! Love them.

welcome to the addiction i have 20 something now, looking at getting at least 2 more mid june then my son wants one for his birthday that's on the hard to find/rare list. might have to do an early present again.

I've owned tarantulas since 1993ish. I have always loved them. I remember taking a molting to highschool and my math teacher actually let me put it on the projector and talk to the class about it. I was surprised she let me do that.

I keep telling myself I can't get more.... however there are several on my future list.

I don't have to tell myself I'm not getting more...my wife does that for me! [emoji16]

I have to see if my husband won't mind me getting another! I've already bought four this year!

The fluff factor - what arboreals have that the terrestrials don't. Some of those arboreals are just so amazingly plush that you want to squeeze them... which I understand is not encouraged.

Update. Both are getting bigger. The versicolor does come out and wander. I find it hard to clean their cage and get moltings out without messing up part of their web.

Umm I just got 2 more today. 2 A. seemanni BCF, so that makes 31 total.

And I'm so out of room lol, i now have enclosures stacked on top of each other. my son and I made a pact we'd only buy for birthdays or the like, or the more rare ones we want if they pop up on vendor sites.
