What are the must haves for a T collection?

[Armstrong5]

a GBB is a must in every collection

 

[Musicwolf]

I think that in any serious colection must be at least one representat of the most common genus. So, there must be a tarantula from:

Brachypelma
Grammostola
Haplopelma
Pamphobeteus
Avicularia
Poecilotheria
A baboon - any african tarantula will be ok

And any collection must have a star, and that could be P metallica, E olivacea, M balfouri, X immanis sp blue, M peterklaasi, etc.

Oooh, I'm close:

B. smithi and B. albopilosum
G. pulchra
H. lividum
apparently I need to get a Pamphobeteus
A. avic and A. metallica
P. ornata, P. rufilata, and P. regalis
No african tarantulas, but I'd like to submit my 2 Aussies instead Phlogius sp. "pq113"

and my star - - P. metallica.

Oh, almost forgot - - I do have the requisite GBB and agree that everyone should have one.

 

[Introvertebrate]

Chromatopelma cyanoepubescens

I don't have a T, but based on everything I've read, that may be my first one.

I find it interesting that the only must have T on everyone's list I seem to have is Monocentropus balfouri... and I have over 350 Ts.

 

[BayBredBeardies]

I don't have a T, but based on everything I've read, that may be my first one.

Ohhh....I must be doing something right, I have a lot of the ones that are listed!

 

[AbraxasComplex]

I disagree with this. You should obtain and take care of those that appeal to you. Not what everyone else has or recommends.

 

[yannigarrido2]

you really should have these:
Lasiodora parahybana
Pamphobeteus ultramarinus
Theraphisa blondi (the real one)
Poecilotheria metallica (this is always a must)
Brachypelma smithi
Brachypelma albiceps
Poecilotheria ornata
Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
Pelinobius muticus (formerly C.crawshayi)
OBT
Avic. purpurea
Haplopelma lividum
and the rarest of them all M. Balfouri

What's wrong with the not “real” t blondi. They are probly hybrids between t blondi and t aphosis. Hybrids are stronger and more hardy. That's why pure bred dogs and cats can have problems. I own a t burgundy (male ): ) and he is one of my favorite in my collection.

 

[TrentinG]

GBB
P Ornata
P Cambridgei or irminia
A Versicolor
LP
C darlingi or other horned baboon
M Balfouri or P Metallica
H Gigas or H lividum
A geniculata or brocklehursti
G pulchra
Some Aphonopelma
:worship:

 

[Arachnos]

The ones I could not live without, so in my opinon a must have...

Avicularia versicolor
Lasiodora parahybana
Poecilotheria regalis
Poecilotheria metallica
Chromatopelma cyanopubescens
Aphonopelma bicoloratum
Aphonopelma chalcodes
Haplopelma lividum

Makes me sick just thinking of not having them! :barf:

 

[phily1579]

Any serious collection would have
Obt, gbb, king baboon, maculata, pokies, lividum,any one of horned baboon. I have greater horned baboon, feather leg, murinis, smithi, pulcher.

 

[cosmo82]

My t's that i couldn't be without
B. Smithi
B. Emilia
G. Pulchra
G. Aureostriata
H. Lividum
P. Murinus

A. Avicularia
