Which species in your opinion is the hardiest tarantula, something you basically have to step on to kill?

GBB's slings and adults alike. They seem to be hardy with or without water and at any temp I have exposed them to.

G. rosea, B. smithi.

G pulchra for the win, IME!! My three are the only ones that survived a heater malfunction a year or so ago, except for a couple of others that I gave away shortly afterward. They (G pulchra three) are still doing great to this day. Scottie, my mature female just molted again on March 6th and is now around 7 inches- becoming a veritable beast!! The strange thing about it is that, although her food consumption hadn't been increased, this the second molt for her within several months. I'm still scratching my head on that one...................

It's pretty tough to kill an OBT...just saying.

 

[maxfightmaster]

yeah, for me i would have to say GBB, and G pulchra.

 

[hamhock 74]

I second the OBT and the GBB as well.

OBT you just about have to try to kill to kill it. G rosea are easy, as are many of the arid species, especially adults. Anything that needs only dry substrate, a hide and a waterdish. Those things are easy to provide

How would you know?? Jk......... Lol

I'm just going to throw it out there and say Chilobrachys huahini

 

[grayzone]

OBT or L. parahybana IME.... also, rosies... the female rosie i have (rescued from an acquaintance) came to me in HORRIBLE conditions... i hate her sometimes, but im happy to take in a t ANYTIME

The Grammostola and the Aphonopelma are pretty tough. They're hardy as they get.

I agree with shell on this one

My vote is going to A. chalcodes. in the wild they live in the desert with lows at 10f and highs of 115f! in captivity they like to fill their waterbowl with dirt to dry it out. Thats one tough T!

 

[kwacky]

Second the Aphonopelma chalcodes. Mine seemed to be bomb proof. Nothing seemed to stress her out, even when someone moved her tank and left it in direct sunlight. Mine lived for about 20 years. RIP "Bimbo"
