Most Desirable Tarantulas?

[basin79]

Do the male and female differ in colour then?

Males are bonny but females are bigger and longer lived.

This is my adult female. They really are absolutely stunning tarantulas.

 

[antinous]

Pamphobeteus nigricolor (Colombia), Pamphobeteus insignis (Colombia), Theraphosa apophysis, Phormictopus sp. ‘Dominican Purple’ and Pamphobeteus ultramarinus are all my ‘holy grail’ T’s, I currently have none of them.

 

[Liquifin]

I have a few on my list
P. ornata (Regulation issues)
H. pulchripes
M. balfouri- Female (already have one, but he's a male I think)
B. emelia (Already have one and I love my girl)

There are so many haha and if you ask me tomorrow, I might give you a different answer. I’ve recently acquired a couple of those high up on my wish list, such as my Chilobrachys sp Electric blue.

I have a wish list for 2019, but if I could only get one this year, it would be between H pulchripes or L nigerrium.

Spoiler

Other species I want:

I mira
Female c cyanepubescens
P chordatus
B hamorii (reptile shop nearby has four females for £40 so I’ll be getting one soon)
P irminia
P ornata
P regalis
C marshalli

My favorite in my current collection is “Theraphosinae sp. ‘Panama.’” Name’s all in quotes because it’s not actually a real binomial name. I think it’s a really neat spider to have. Interesting colors and behaviors in a very small package. Kinda pricey, but well worth it. Here’s mine after her most recent molt:

LP
N.colorvoltisussomething
G.pulchripes
and an old fashioned rosie

they are pretty common
but i enjoy them the most in my collection
and that's all that matters to me.

G. pulchripes is what I have because they are docile, non aggressive, and terrestrial .Well, guess what. When brushed in the abdomen with a soft brush, he attacks it and pulls mightily upon it. There is a miniature tree in his vivarium and when I cant find him in the hide, he very well might be in the tree. Guess he never got the memo that he is terrestrial.

My favorite T is different from my most desired. We want most what we do not have, usually.
My most desired T at this point in time is a H. pulchripes
My favorite tarantula is A. geniculata

Awesome thread btw, some really great tarantulas

 

[Spawn60fsatan6]

Dolichothele diamantinensis is my most desired at this time will also be my last t purchase for awhile.

Once the kids are grown I will be getting a P. Metallica though as that's the one that got me interested in tarantulas

I had a Theraphosinae sp. Panama... up until yesterday. It would completely blockade itself in its hide during a molt and had recently done so. It had been in there about a week or two and I started to get a bit nervous, so I opened the hide last night. It had gotten its head and fangs stuck in the molt and had passed. I was totally bummed. Mine was a bit reclusive but I was always excited to see it when it was out. RiP Deadpool...

necromancy at its finest

There’s a recent thread on this:
http://arachnoboards.com/threads/most-desirable-ts.315396/

You just listed this thread again...

You just listed this thread again...

The old thread was merged with this one, hence why I mentioned ‘necromancy at its finest’. Wouldn’t call if ‘necromancy’ if the thread wasn’t old now would I?

 

[Misa]

I have a G. Pulchripes and a C. Cyaneopubescens, but at some point I'd like to have these, too!
Avicularia Purpurea

Ephebopus Cyanognathus

 

[The Mantis Menagerie]

My favorite color is neon orange, so I eventually want an orange bitey thing (I know and I usually use scientific names, but I love this nickname).

For me it would actually be a rose hair, I miss my old gal. They are quite hard to find in any size in the UK though.
I know they changed the name around a bit, the one with a pink-ish carapace and white leg hairs, is that still a g.rosea, or is that one a g.porteri now?

Correct: I merged the two threads, since the question was the same.
