Are there any OW arboreal dwarves? Or any around the 3-4" size? Still helping my girlfriend with her project and that's all we like.
Thanks.

I am not sure. I would ask Zoltan, I believe baboons are his favorite.Are there any OW arboreal dwarves? Or any around the 3-4" size? Still helping my girlfriend with her project and that's all we like.

Don't know what you are getting at, but neither of those are Old World.Tape a H. incei to a Avic juvie. Instant small arboreal.
Sorry, I thought it was clear that I wasn't being serious.Don't know what you are getting at, but neither of those are Old World.
A. minatrix are not dwarfs, neither are Taps....Honestly the only (so called) dwarf arboreals that even come to mind would be either the A. minatrix or maybe the Pachistopelma genus, maybe some of the Tap genus too?? None of those are OW though. Not to be a buzzkill but idk of you're gonna be able to find any.

Whoops. I misread your post. I thought you meant just African species for some reason. It's not a "dwarf" but I would look into Orphnaecus sp. "blue"/"Panay". I don't believe they get too big but I can't give you exact sizes. I'll do some more digging.All I need is a small OW arboreal that only gets 3-4".... Or even a semi-arboreal.
According to the collector that introduced H. gabonensis to the hobby, all of the one's he found were living an arboreal lifstyle. See this. Although Im sure they would adapt to any sort of set up in captivity.Edit* The only OW dwarf that is coming to mind for me right now, is Heterothele gabonensis...but it's not arboreal.
Very cool, thanks Tom. I was unaware of that. The only ones I've seen in person, were kept more in a terrestrial set up, but definitely didn't strike me as actually terrestrial.According to the collector that introduced H. gabonensis to the hobby, all of the one's he found were living an arboreal lifstyle.

So to answer the OP original question, my quess is H. gabonensis is the smallest old world arboreal tarantula in the hobby.
