1. PamphoI saw a few of these posts in the past but nothing updated since 2020 so if you guys would rather I necro one of them please let me know!
Just curious what everyone’s top 3 genus to keep are and why? Hoping to find some gems I haven’t thought about or heard of.
My top 3 currently are:
1. Pamphobeteus
2. Harpactira
3. Poecilotheria
For the pamphos I just love how big they get. I know other genus's do as well, but the combination of their personalities, size, horn markings, feeding response, and that fact that the mature males are such stunners that you don’t even get upset!
Harpactira is a new one in my top 3. Currently only have a female marksi and pulchripes, but I enjoy them immensely. Always visible, great feeding response, heavy webbers and some stunning colorations have rapidly made me love this genus. I hope to have all available species someday, and perhaps even do my first breeding project with them! Plus, even though they are baboons, and as such can have a temper, I find both of my girls to be extremely shy and laid back.
Pokies. There really isn’t much to say lol. Highly visible, great hunters, BEAUTIFUL coloration and patterning, impressive sizes. Mine are all shy save my regalis and ornata females. They are pretty skittish overall and my ornata is my only old world I have received a threat pose from. Either way, my favorite arboreal genus!
So what genus’s really get you passionate? Hope to hear some good ones!
and this isn’t me saying one is better than the other. With Ts there is something for everyone so keep it civil!

3. Vitalius/Nhandu
I only recently got my A Genic, Vitalius Chromatus and Nhandu Caraponesis and I absolutley love all 3. The A Genic is an eating machine, the Nhandu has a great personality and I fell in love with the V Chromatus when I first saw it. My little LP is cute too and a great eater.
I haven’t experimented with looking after aboreals or OWs yet, looking to get a P Cambridgei soon.
