 |
|
Can anyone recommend a docile species of arboreal spider?
I know the all have different temprements but I would prefer something I can handle.
Also trying to avoid anything that could hurt a cat if it escaped (which I plan on not letting happen).
Planning on using some of the taller exo terra with this plan.
thanks! |

Avicularia are the best docile arboreal species 
but there FAST and the jump. |

yeah A.avic but as said they can be a bit skittish and they jump I never bother handling mine anymore because she tends to run and can be hectic but I used to handle her sometimes.

A.Versicolor is one the most docile Avic's I have kept.
Failing that most arboreal sp are quite skittish. |

I agree! My versicolor is the calmest of my tree dwellers and probably the sexiest as well.  I often hear that Avic avic's are quite docile and they tend to be cheaper. All of my avics have made excellent looking webs, this is why I enjoy them so much. |

Every Avic Avic I have had seemed to have different ideas, not aggressive just majorly jumpy, if in doubt go with the Versi, lovely looking as a sling and absolutely stunning as adult. |
