Examples
- Green Bottle Blue — heavy webbing and often visible
- Chaco Golden Knee — large terrestrial display species
- Antilles Pinktoe — arboreal webbing and colour
- Visibility still varies by individual and life stage
Compare the husbandry
Use the list as a starting point, then compare adult size, lifestyle, growth, speed, temperament, defensive tools, visibility and female lifespan. Those differences matter more than ranking.
Plan for the adult
A small sling can hide the scale of the adult job. Check the eventual enclosure shape, substrate, watering and rehousing requirements now.
UK availability
Availability in the UK can change from one specialist stock list to the next. Check the scientific name and current size rather than relying on an old availability label.
Mistakes to avoid
Assuming arboreal means visible, destroying webbing for appearance and choosing only by adult colour.
