Had a crazy couple of weeks so didn’t have time to start these threads but we’re back!
So this week, I would like to hear everyone’s favorite genus, and why? Color, temperament, ease or difficulty of care, size, I’m curious how we all arrive at the types of tarantulas we love.
I’m going to start super basic, but I really do love Brachypelma. Simple care, often bulky, generally well tempered, and i’ve yet to find even one specimen that’s not gorgeous. Plus, I’m a patient person and I find raising them from tiny slings to stocky, fuzzy adults over years meditative and very rewarding.
Honorable mentions to Avicularia, nhandu (which i’m just wading into but is shooting up the list) and Lasiodora.
What about you guys and gals? Which genus must you own all of and won’t rest until you do?
