L violaceopes is the one I like the most. They make beautiful burrows and they don't mess up the cage too much.

People always say this one and that one has a personality but I think all the "Sing blues" are that way. They don't like to run away when you open the cage ,they are very inquisitive. If they do run they don't make a quick dash like the rest -I like it cause it makes me handle them more often. If you open the cage ,and they're hungry ,they will stick around and wait for some food.

Cool ,calm and collected +pretty.

Cool, calm and collected? The one I saw was one mean bastard! LOL! Unless I'm thinking of another species?

It was the same as the spider in creators avatar i think.

I think the Tarantula in Creators avatar is a P.irminia...Venezuelan Suntiger...

This is why we should never take anything as the final result and set fact, but always be open to possibilities...this is where the adventure of discovery and connection between reality and the fantasy world lie.~ "Henry Howard Jnr"...

Have you ever worked with an mature male violaceopes? In my experience each and every one I have ever handled ran like hell and don't stop for anything the moment you try to move it.

The females are different they don't bolt as often as the males do and they don't seem to be affected by movement close or in the enclosure or by light as much.

They make awesome display spiders, mine are always outside.

I have never had a threat posture from one of my adult females ( tons when they are juvies ;) )

The same with my niggerimum and borneo black females, but they tend to be more reclusive and skittish than my violaceopes.

Then again I don't poke them on a daily basis ;)
