I am interested in in adding more Dwarf Tarantulas to my collection.
I am familiar with the Cyriocosmus and Holothele species. Can any one recommend other species where the adults grow to 3" or less.
Thanks Jason

Aphonopelma sp. "huachua" is a nice one. P. scrofa...

E pachypus is kinda small but not necessarily a dwarf, same thing with C fasciatum.

There are also Aphonopelma hualapai, Aphonopelma mojave, and a few others from Arizona and California.

A paloma is cool. MM can fit on a dime easliy. I'd not count C fasciatum. I had a female that was close to 5 inches.

I agree with john Ive seen several reports of C. fasciatum getting up to 5" so if you want to stick to 3" and under I would skip C fasciatum. Now on the other side of that sometimes one persons idea of 5" is different then another. ive got 3 females that are about 2.5-3"
