Favourite species?

[Nike]

G. Pulchra. Very stylish and elegant all- black.

favorite T...

My favorite was Cyclosternum fasciatum, but now it is Pterinochilus murinus;P
Im wondered if this spider will be my favorite, when my spiderlings become mature :?

 

[MindUtopia]

I thought keeping Ts in NYC was illegal. Did the laws change?

Nope, it's still illegal. As you can tell I don't much care. If it's legal to have a pitbull, it's silly that I can't keep tarantulas. I tend to disregard laws that I think are ridiculous. Just don't tell animal control on me.

I couldn't agree more. Ts are THE PERFECT PET for someone living in an apartment in NYC. I jay walk. If you don't tell on me, I won't tell on you!

Here's to blunt honesty

i just hope no one in the NYPD is looking

I personally am into Ceratogyrus.
I would like to claim something a bit more scientific, but it's the horns.
It's the horns.

 

[MRL]

of my collection my favorite is either the M. Robustum or B. Smithi and a lot has to do with their size otherwise P. Metallica would be it for me

 

[Brian S]

the one, the only icon of the hobby... B. smithi!

No argument from me on that one The Hobby Claasic

 

[Mina]

I don't think I could pick, but if I had to it would have to be my first T and the one that got me interested in T's in general. Grammostola rosea. I just adore my baby and she is so sweet.

Having only had experience with 4 species of tarantula, and 3 of them still being very small, I can't really say for sure. But if I were given the option of adding to my collection another T of a species I already have, I'd take another G. aureostriata. The one I have is beautiful, entertaining, a puppy when it comes to being handled, and causes me the least stress of all my Ts. I heart Chacos

You have no idea how many times I've read and re-read all of your posts in contemplating an answer to this 'simple question. I guess I have to revert to elementary school and ask myself " if I was stranded on a desert island and could only have one T".
It would be a toss-up between my A. versicolor and my B. emilia. They are both so beautiful and gentle. Then I go back to my big L. parahybana . . .
Tough, tough, tough.

Nhandu vulpinus
Poecilotheria formosa

[rwfoss]

Tough question...I love all of my T's for different reasons (color, temperment, etc.).

I think I will be one board with the "hobby classic"...my B. smithi, Agatha!

So far my fave T is my chilen Rose, cause she was my first T .

 

[jw73]

My favorite specie is G. pulchra. My female is very mellow, slow, predictable and never refuse to eat.
She is always outside her hide so I can stare at her constantly.

 

[GAD]

I only have one T right now buuut out of the ones I have seen and researched I still love my OBT....NEVER STOPS EATING!!!

 

[Bluesling]

G.Pulchra

G.pulchra
G.acteon
X.immanis

 

[snoflax]

At the moment our A.versi, I watched her molt a few days ago and it was amazing, she was done in less than half and hour and now she is the most beautiful shade of blue.

 

[i-zombie]

Right now, Acanthoscurria geniculata. Always out in open, and will eat anything...at any time. I love the white bands on black as well. I'd say a close second would be Phormictopus cancerides. I think it's one of the most under appreciated species in the hobby.
