The hobby's Great White Whale

[l4nsky]

What's that one species that hasn't made it into the hobby in your country or any country that you hope to see one day?

Personally, mine is that undescribed purple baboon species that made the rounds in the youtube video some months back. What's yours?

Thanks,

Before it was:

Heteroscodra satanas ( an black speicies rumoured to live in a small piece of forrest in the Congos)

But nowdays im against WC so i say let it lives free!

 

[Minty]

H Hercules.

Or the African baboon that looks similar to a C cyaneopubescens.

 

[Chris LXXIX]

Heteroscodra satanas ( an orange speicies rumoured to live in a small piece of forrest in the Congos)

Stromatopelma satanas, if I'm not wrong

 

[Vanisher]

It is a Stromatopelma, and it is black and not orange!

 

[Venom1080]

Already here.. or at least, S cf satanas is.. I hear it's more likely fumigatum. But it's pretty much a black H mac.


Mine is Avicularia hirschii or taunayi.. hirschii is technically.. but super rare and ultra expensive.

When i had an special intrest Xenesthis sp many years ago, my dream tarantula was Xenesthis monstrosa! I think it has been in the hobby somewhere? But in Sweden i never knew anybody who had it. I dont think i have seen one, not even in a picture. Carapace was supposed to be all black and it supposed to be the biggest of the genus? Almost as beefy as a Theraphosa i have heard

Any species of Bistriopelma.

 

[Thekla]

Any species of Bistriopelma.

Never heard of them and had to google... WOW! They look gorgeous! Now, I want one, too.

 

[KezyGLA]

Psalmopoeus sp chiapas

 

[Dennis Nedry]

Selenocosmiinae sp biru has to be up there

 

[KezyGLA]

Selenocosmiinae sp biru has to be up there

Now Birupes simoroxigorum

 

[CEC]

Any Aviculariinae not in US yet, obviously...
Also (I know I'm going out of my realm here lol) Phrixotrichus scrofa.

 

[l4nsky]

Just found out about Hysterocrates elephantiasis. Guess that goes on the list for me.

 

[dord]

Hemirrhagus, Hapalotremus, Typhochlaena costae

Phrixotrichus scrofa.

This, I'd like to have the hobby's confusing species identified.

Or the African baboon that looks similar to a C cyaneopubescens.

Never heard of this! I wonder why the 'GBB' pattern shows up in a handful of species.

H Hercules.

Scrofa are cool, I owned a female many years ago. But given how difficult they are to keep, I’m not sure you can handle such an advanced species. Get a Rose Hair first

Still hoping we find a BRIGHT green Avic.

Though I’d settle for seladonia OR this 6”
Brazilian species I saw that looks just like H sp Large.

Thanks

Certainly not even close to resembling a GBB though

You've never had one. Unless you can come up with pics of your spider having twin urt patches.

Whoa you are still around?? Such a fast response.

I will check IF I have pictures. I will admit I don’t recall the geometry. And if I have no pics at all, then technically I may have had one, or not.
