What tarantulas & scorpions would you recommend for beginners?

Unsay mau nga Tarantula o Scorpion para sa magsugod pa lang?


….sa wa pa ko ni sugod og palit o buhi sa tarantula og scorpion, nagresearch jud kog mau sa net.
Ang ako jud una na tarantula kai Grammastola rosea and ang una na scorpion kai Heterometrus longimanus….
….Docile, not aggressive, but for me, depende ni on how you treat your pets,
di kau sakit sa bulsa and relatively big size ( 5-6”).

For more colorful Ts, I’d choose these: but more on price lang
B. smithi, B. boehmei, B. emilia, G. pulchra
For bigger ones (8-10”)..
L. parahybana, N, coloratovillosus, N, chromatus

Advisory: These pets are Not for Handling.

Mga pips base sa inyo experiences and researches….unsay inyo ma-recommend sa mga ganahan magbuhi og Tarantulas & Scorpions.

ako pod una na T ky rosea and S ky longi. xperimento usa kung mkaya ba nko buhion ky mao rman mdyo brato suna. krn mrag dghan2 naman brato na T ug S. ang rosea sling ato na tym ky 9h pa. krn grabe njud pagubos sa price. halos pang beginner napod ang smithi ug uban na specimens na wa jud available suna as slings.

[minibox]

i think coloratovillosus and chromatus aren't good for beginners...b. albo. is also good for brachy. genus and for grammy its pulchra and rosea (rosea is known to be doing extraordinary things ordinarily hahaha)

@mini

ok rman. as long as mfollow rka sa mga precautions. well unless mplit jud daun ka ug adult na and ur still a newbie sa hobby. slings lng usa. makakaton rka ana while ur T or S is still growing.

nood jud ka sir reydawnne..first Ts nako kay slings jud poro....sugod jud ko gamay & enjoy man ko observe nila nga mitubo. anha sad ka maka.gain og experience...medio kulbaan pod ko kai delicate kau tan-awn sa kagamay.
April 2009 ra man ko gasugod og arachnid. 800 pod ako palit sa rosea that time...(NCF pa jud) pero wa ko magmahay kai...karon adik na jud ko...hehehe

ms. minibox ang colorato og chromatus para nako OK ra man pod....di lang jud ko mo.handle ani nila. ganahan lang ko ani nila kai mga dagko ig mature.

para sa ako brachy ang grammostola ang nice.. specially chaco golden knee , docile ,cheap , good appetite , availble sa market pirmi and growth ok kau.. hehehe pero og naa ka budget
g.pulchra hahaha

[fire starter]

for scorpions, the best beginner species is heterometrus longimanus, thay are cheap, hardy, low venom level , large size and not aggressive.

and regarding venom level, step by step process lang na cya until you reach higher since naa jud scorps na unpredictable!

sa ts?....

i wud recommend brachys rather than grammos...

ako reason?.....brachys are colorful...and mas paspas gamay ang growth compare grammos...

i dont believe in docility....depende rana sa mu gunit...

here are the possible aspects na ginapangita sa usa ka beginner:

1. the size
2. the color
3. temperament (ingon cla kanang pwede i handle)...which is not advisable kng nagsugod pa..

thats y gamay ra ang beginners na nangita slings...mas mu prefer cla sa juvie, subadult, and adult ts..

so heres my list for beginners:

tarantulas:

1. B. smithi
2. G. pulcripes/aureostriata(chaco golden knee)
.................................................. .................................................. ....................
sa mga mahilig jud mu handle tarantulas na nag sugod pa, heres my list for u mga sir..

1. Poecilotheria sp. (P. regalis)
2. Haplopelma sp. (H. lividum)
3. Stromatopelma sp. (S. calceatum)
4. Heteroscudra sp. (H. maculata)
5. Cyriopagopus sp.. (Singapore Blue)

Arun maka ingon mo na di dapat i handle ang tarantulas. na dapat ka mu respeto sa specie..and ure ready to take the responsibility....which makes you the right person para sa hobby...
