Favorite Tarantula Type (poll)

[Palespider]

I thought this would be interesting. I put them into 5 categories.

1) The docile species: Aphonapelma, Brachypelma, and Grammostola.

2) The large defensive species. Most are obligate burrowers: (Acanthoscurria, Theraphosa, Lasiodora, Nhandu, Pamphobeteus, Phormictopus, and Xenesthis)

3) The feisty and bitey species. Most are deep burrowers: (Ceratogyrus, Citharischius, Haplopelma, Hysterocrates, and Pterinochilus)

4) The usually docile and colorful South American arboreals: (Avicularia)

5) The speedy, leggy, and potent arboreals: (Poecilotheria, Heterscodra, Stromatopelma, and Psalmopoeus)

Don't forget to explain why they're your favorite

Avicularia because dude they can jump climb and move very fast,they shoot pop,and.............................................PINKTOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

mike;P

 

[nemesis6sic6]

Arboreal as well

Avics are my thing but it was hard to choose because Im getting into NW terrstrials a little more.

 

[pategirl]

Well, I like the avics, and I like pokes and the Psalmopoeus.....I just just the latter ones. I'm not picky

 

[Pattarawut]

I love agressive power of King Baboon and Cobalt Blue.

 

[Guido]

i like the U.S. species such as Aphonopelmas

 

[webspinner]

Pamphobeteus are just a great looking monster!;P

 

[LPacker79]

One word: Tapinauchenius! =D

 

[Mojo Jojo]

I chose the large defensive terrestrials. They really are my favorite, even though I don't keep them anymore due to their hairs.

Now I'm into arborials (avics and psalms) and OW burrowing spiders

Brachy's all the way, I'm a Brachy lover

Jeez I have a bit of each and like them all. My attention does vary, but they all interest me sooooooo I stand firmly noncommited.

Forget it, Hysterocrates takes it.

8 in leg spans, stridulation, like to swim, and insatiable appetites

not to mention that im blessed with 3 that are readily visible.

Ennie, meenie, miney mo.....my hubby and I went back and forth on this one, so here's how it stands thus far:
The zoo-me- got to love those pink toed avics and what can I say...I love a "manly" T that knows who's boss....the T, of course!
As far as Duke-hubby-goes, He's a "manly man" kind of guy, and has had a secret obcession with T. Blondi for a lot longer than they have been "popular". He loves their color. He's into color, temperment is neither here nor there as far as he conserned, so it's probably a tie between blondi and C.cyaneopubescens.

Aphonopelma!!!! Aphonopelma Seemani i love these little guys they got some attuide and then can be sweet, pretty fast and i like the Jet black with white stripes i think they are amazeing looking T's, i also like Bitey burrowers like H.Gigas they are great, not so good looking but just fun to watch..

[Inuleki]

it's all about the bitey and fiesty.... but then again, i just kinda have a fascination with the Haplopelma spp. running a very close second are the Pamphobetus spp. I'm talking like a .05% difference on which I picked...

 

[Mendi]

Aphonopelma, Brachypelma, and Grammostola all the way here, save for a few odd Avics, and a couple of the large defensive species. And one P.regalis as I wouldn't want the OW'ers to feel left out

 

[Palespider]

I'd have to say that pokies and the likes are the most interesting species to me, but the large South Americans are a very close second.

I like the docile ones like the Brachys and the Grammys. They're so laid back and cool. They're not too worried about much and they don't seem to upset when you move their stuff around. Mine goes over to see what I've done to the tank, as if it would say "oh, nice new water dish you put in here. Goes well with the other decor. I'm gonna go web something now"

 

[Bearskin10]

For me it is aboreals. Avics, Psalmopoeus, pokies and the one you forgot The Taps. Greg
