Whats the most aggresive tarantula ?
Whats the most aggresive tarantula ?
P.murinus is defiantly ranked pretty high up there in the defensive tarantula category.

first off I would suggest you try the search option, I'm sure this has been discussed before. Now, personally my opinion is that a tarantula is "Defensive" no "aggressive" its going to defend its turf not chase you around your room.
However it really depends on each individual spider, out of my collection one might assume my P. murinus would be my most defensive, but my P. cambridgei is much much worse. (on a normal bases, s/he's settled down since going into premolt).

Out of all the T's I have had my OBT and P Ornata were the worst. Cleaning time was a nightmare with these two. Even my King Baboon was not that bad unless you REALLY provoked her. SHe was semi-handleable. OBT or P Ornata.
defensive,not aggressive.
in my collection it would be my OBT,and then my G.rosea,believe it or not.
and i do have a H lividum.![]()
Haplopelma sp. "Vietnam"?
I believe you about the G rosea. I have a GORGEOUS mature male. But while he is pretty he doesn't take any crap. Highly defensive and has tagged me a couple of times. Never had one like him.
Not legs. I have never seen a G Rosea act like him. But I guess that lends credence top the theory that it really depends on the T. I even had a fairly defensive Chaco at one time. She calmed down after a while though.
Until I see a T trying to escape for the sole purpose of eating my face off in retribution, there is no such thing as an "aggressive" tarantula. Rarely, if ever, will you encounter unprovoked reactions. Even then, something had to spook them.![]()
Now, if you're wanting to know what the most defensive species is, I highly recommend an S. calceatum.
Although some species are defensive as a whole, temperament tends to rely more on the individual member of any given species. My P. cambridgei is an obnoxiously recalcitrant individual for being a member of what is supposed to be the calmest species within his genus. There is another individual P. cambridgei I know of that is just as ill-tempered as mine.
Between my P. cambridgei and my S. cal, none of my others frighten me in the least.
Mine was a 4" G. Pulchra. I had to remove the rocks from it's enslosure because anytime I even moved it I would hear her fangs striking the rocks. Only soft deco's for her. It was funny to see a G. Pulchra throw a threat display though. LOL

My most defensive T's far and away are my Acanthoscurria suina's. If you so much as open their cages, they are on her back striking.
