Looking at these photos, it is definately A. seemanni

 

[SonsofArachne]

You all should post pictures of the T's mentioned so I can lust after more I will not be able to find

If I took a picture of my Neochilobrachys sp. thailand you would see a hole with 4 little legs and maybe some eye shine.

 

[Misty Day]

Only slightly odd end one I have is my female P.scrofa, bought her as an unsexed juvenile 4 years ago for €20.

 

[korlash091]

Aphonopelma sp. Oaxaca, i dont know how common this are.

 

[KezyGLA]

For me its

Pterinochilus vorax
Pterinochilus lapalala
Crypsidromus sp. boquete

 

[Theneil]

For me its

Pterinochilus vorax
Pterinochilus lapalala
Crypsidromus sp. boquete

Are you just trying to be modest or are you avoiding Carpal tunnel by not typing out that endless list of amazing spoods that the rest of us are jealous of?

 

[Jacobob]

I have a handful of 'rose hairs' and those are getting hard to find.

Hell...10-15 years ago you could get hem at the shows for about $8-$10 apiece! Now hardly ever see them!

I find them on craigslist/facebook every so often and if they are cheap, i always take them. I recently got a G. rosea (RCF if that is still a thing) that is just amazing looking. 10 bucks with enclosure but i got it basically free (and AF B. vagans) because they knocked 20 bucks off the price since i bought 4 out of the 5 Ts they were selling.

Yes at times this was my case, but I knew that going into the purchase.

0.1 Neoholothele fasciaaurinigra, sometimes called The Bumble Bee

I waited years to obtain this species ever since I saw it on Rick West's site.

Just so I could post in this thread and include the required pics I got up from the couch, anoyed my spiders, and took some pics:

Plesiopelma sp. Bolivia, an extremely slow growing dwarf species, but always out and about, very much recommended:

Plesiopelma sp. 'Bolivia',

• boina
• Nov 1, 2018
• 2
• female plesiopelma

Subadult female, about 2" - rather laid back for a dwarf

Neostenotarsus sp. Suriname, another dwarf, and a really tiny one, too, and a pet hole to boot... I don't what posessed me to get one. I guess it was the green-ish carapace.

Neostenotarsus sp. "Suriname"

• boina
• Nov 1, 2018
• 2
• female neostenotarsus neostenotarsus sp. "suriname"

subadult female, 1.5" - these are seriously small

Grammostola sp. Maule, one of the rarer rosea cousins:

Grammostola sp. 'Maule', AF

• boina
• Nov 1, 2018
• 3
• female grammostola grammostola sp. "maule" sp. "maule"

I wish she would molt already...

I also believe H. namaquensis and cafreriana are not that common (pics on request )

Honorary mention:

Ceratogyrus meridionalis - they always get overlooked for their horned cousins and are therefore not as common as they should be:

C. meridionalis, juvenile female

• boina
• Nov 1, 2018
• ceratogyrus ceratogyrus meridionalis female grey mustard baboon tarantula meridionalis pterinochilus meridionalis zimbabwe grey baboon tarantula

the hornless unicorn ;)

 

[WolfSoon]

Theraphosinae sp Pacific Nicaragua (pet hole I haven’t seen since I got her and took this photo)



T. cyaneolum

 

[Vanessa]

I have the only Cyriocosmus giganteus in Canada... so far. There have been no others imported since they were described in 2015. The sad part is that I think he's a male.
My other oddball would have to be my Pseudhapalopus spinulopalpus female.

 

[Chris LXXIX]

Are you just trying to be modest or are you avoiding Carpal tunnel by not typing out that endless list of amazing spoods that the rest of us are jealous of?

Yep, @KezyGLA has access to rarest Theraphosidae, with a particular eye for 'Baboons'. I'm currently forming an army of 'Cacerolazo' for protest against this injustice

 

[MetalMan2004]

I desperately want to be part of this club, but haven’t put down the money for anything super rare yet. I guess the closest I have to this is a Pen male P smithi. It was one of the harder to get Poecs before the legislation. I’ll be interested to see how hard it’ll be to loan him out.

That’s not to say that I don’t have plenty of money sunk into good specimens though. AF B auratum, AF P metallica, 3 M balfouri communal are my most expensive.

 

[DanBsTs]

A have several Ts that might fit your “odds n’ ends” description.
1. Chilobrachys sp Namtok Phlio
2. Pseudhapalopus sp blue
3. T. truculentus
I unfortunately don’t have any good pics as they are all under 1”

 

[checkmate]

Ones I rarely see photos of or see being sold (here in the U.S. anyway):
Aphonopelma steindachneri - adult female
Cyriopagopus lividus "Emerald Green" - 1.5" sling, still brown
Phlogiellus sp. Palawan - 1.75" sling, finally showing more blue (I think Joe Rossi is selling these)

 

[antinous]

I also believe H. namaquensis and cafreriana are not that common (pics on request )

lemme see

T. cyaneolum

How long have you had your T cyane, and where did you get it from?

Do you know the names to any of those?

Nope, I just buy Ts without knowing what they are

 

[boina]

lemme see

Ok, here are the gallery links :

H. namaquensis - supposed to be one of the calmer OW species, and 2/3 of mine are, but the third is crazy:

Harpactira namaquensis

• boina

• female harpactira harpactira namaquensis namaquensis

juvenile female on pink flower ;) - It actually looks as if all 3 slings I got from Kezy are...

H. cafreriana - a dwarf species, but also pretty calm for an OW:

Harpactira cafreriana, suspect female

• boina

• amber baboon tarantula cafreriana harpactira harpactira cafreriana

My little DKS surviver - a tough little fighter. In February she was close to death, but she...
