I do have permission from the person who took this picture to post it. Will reference his post on another board if needed. I have no clue what this is, any help is appreciated. First two attempts to post were blocked, so hopefully this one can help him find out what he took pics of.

Per my personal messages about the watermark Chad said, "It is an undescribed species of Hapalopus,"

Aphonopelma have always been my favorites. I love the 'western' palettes.

I've posted this before, but this was the best pic I snapped of my 'lil girl



She's got this coppery auburn color, very beautiful.

For terrestrials Euathlus pulcherrimaklaasi (sp. "blue femur", sp. "blue" or whatnot)

They look simply stunning. Not the best eaters, very slow growers, but usually quite docile and not even kicking hairs. Lovely T! Other favorites include C. fimbriatus, P. sazimai, B. auratum, B. smithi.


As for arboreals: P. irminia and oh...P. irminia! Did I mention P. irminia? :D

Other favs are P. subfusca, H. maculata, P. metallica and a bunch of Avics like versicolor, diversipes, sp. "Columbia" and more...


It all comes down to personal preference anyways...

Poecilotheria Regalis!!!! :O

I can't make out which one looks best, but I think these are all very strikingly gorgeous!!! Actually no I change my mind, The Regalis is most beautiful!!!

P Regalis (my favorite actually. Just got my first female adult and I am just mesmarised by the shades of black/white intricate patterns and stripes. omg! :O
P Subfusca
P Metallica
M Mesomelas
P Irminia
A Versicolor
A Diversipes

...and lets not forget about the Typhochlaena Costae, which sadly may never pop up in the US trade for reasons I don't know. :*[

And I would like to add that the beautiful patterns on pokies are just dreamy and enchanting!! If only they knew how beautiful they were, they would not be so nervous. :(

The most beautiful Tarantula is the one that you actually see as opposed to being forever hidden in a burrow or cork tube! ;)

It's a tough call between Pamphobeteus ultramarinus, Poecilotheria formosa, and Phoringochilus everetti. But who even cares, almost every tarantula is an amazingly beautiful creature (except P. muticus, ugly).

Research Megaphobema mesomelas and tell me that's not stunning. Btw keep your blue P metallica I'd rather have a blue Thrixopelma :p

True. To be honest everything in that genus isn't awesome. Better.
My Megaphobema mesomelas is only a 1.25" sling at the minute so I can't wait to see those beautiful colours. This week I lost my Acanthoscurria Antillensis sling and I'm eyeing up a Megaphobema robustum as a replacement
