Vagans? or a Boehmei?


I can't decide, really. :confused:

I have males for both but I can only afford one right now.

[Neophyte]

I think boehmei wins this one {D

[gvfarns]

I don't think anyone's going to vote vagans. Boehmei is quite a bit more valuable T (and in many people's eyes, more beautiful) than vagans.

[DrJ]

It really depends...I prefer the boehmei solely for its colourful flare. But, the vagans tend to be more laid back and look like a large black tarantula from a distance. I probably get more compliments on my vagans than I do my boehmeis. However, I personally like the boehmei better.

EDIT: Laid back in the sense that I don't get haired all over the place when I have to move them...

[codykrr]

i think the boehmei wins mine too.

[KJE]

I've had multiples of both. I prefer B. boehmei over B. vagans. My vagans always seemed to burrow or hide where as my boehmei is always out in the open. Plus, I like the looks of the boehmei more.

Ive had both and found my B. vagans a little more docile and easy to handle and the B. Boehmei has always been one of my favorite Ts as far as looks go. from the first day I saw a B. Boehmei on botarby8s

[Shrike]

Lets go with vagans! A black T with a nice red color accent. B. Boehmei are certainly more colorful, but there is something about B. vagans that I've always liked. I do know this: You can't really go wrong with either one.

Same here! I had a brachypelma vagans and she only came out from under her hide to eat or molt. My brachypelma boehmei is out in the open 90% of the time!

Get both, I like them both and plan to get both eventually.

[Transylvania]

Both are quite beautiful, but I'd go with boehmei. It'd be a much better display T. ;)

[rd_07]

i'd still go for vagans!
i even sold my b. baumgarteni to get this one lol:D

[mitchrobot]

100% go with boehmei :cool:

mine is always out and about, great feeding response and waaaaay better looking IMO. i have both large females of boemei and vagans, even as an adult my vagans still spends most of its time in its burrow. and really isnt that nice looking :p

[Miss Bianca]

I say Boehmei. Besides being notorious kickers,
they're awesome and awesome coloration.

[moose35]

:D i'd say get the brachy...

How are the prices on adult males for those remotely similar?

[gvfarns]

The way I read the original post, he was saying he has males of both and wants to get them a female. Maybe that was wrong, though.

I wonder if the pricing is all different in the Philippines so that boehmei are relatively cheaper than they are here. It certainly doesn't seem like a comparison of equal value items, as I pointed out earlier.

[papilio]

The boehmei for sure! Gorgeous T! And despite what has so often been written, as long as they are handled reasonably gently, none of mine have ever kicked hairs -- and I hate bald spots! Nor are mine the least bit skittish -- though as we all know each T has its own temperament.

Actually it is probably that the vagans is more expensive over there than it is here, making them closer in price.

[Sky`Scorcher]

Yup actually vagans have the same price with boehmei here.
