a GBB is a must in every collection
Oooh, I'm close: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.
I don't have a T, but based on everything I've read, that may be my first one.Chromatopelma cyanoepubescens
Pretty good choice I'm getting my first GBB next weekI don't have a T, but based on everything I've read, that may be my first one.

Congrats. Let us know how you like it.Pretty good choice I'm getting my first GBB next week
Amen to that...aww what the heck GOT TO CATCH EM ALL!!
I disagree with this. You should obtain and take care of those that appeal to you. Not what everyone else has or recommends.Ohhh....I must be doing something right, I have a lot of the ones that are listed!
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.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
