    A Good Visable Tarantula Species?

    ok, i've have (Avicularia avicularia) pink toed, (Gramastola rosea) chilean rose hair, and (Pterinochilus murinus) usumbara orange baboon.
    i haven't had a t for years now, i want one that won't burrow, or hide in a web sac. my usumbara was in an "arboreal" (3 inches off the ground) web cocoon at the top of the tank all the time. i'd like something different, not another rose hair, but something i will see everytime i look in the enclosure. multiple species if you can, in case i can't find one you mention.
    thanks in advance!

    +1 for the geniculata, love mine with her long hoopy hockey socks, just happily sits out waiting to nail any food that arrives.

    My vote would be for GBB. All of mine are always right out there, waiting for food.

    GBB, A. geniculata or G. pulchripes would be my top picks. It depends I guess on what exactly you want in a spider aside from visibility. Size, colors, terrestrial or arboreal etc.

    yeah, always wanted one of those. but with my usumbara's cocoon, i'm leery about anything that makes a sac, i fear i'll never see it.

    ah, i googled it. it seems GBB is green bottle blue. ha ha. had no idea. i'm used to it all typed out.

    Same with mine. No hides for mine, it only webs them up and sits on top of them....

    My regularly visible Ts include: GBB, B. boehmei, B. smithi, B. verdezi, E. pulcherimaklaasi, G. pulchra (now that he has some growth...), and one of my M. balfouri is always visible, the other one is always burrowed.
