Never do that again, kugg

For me, I like the P's. Poecilotheria, Psalmopeus, Pamphobeteus... Id like a Brachypelma smithi, but alot of NWS just dont do it for me.

[Devildoll]

Poecilotheria

 

[JacenBeers]

I enjoy Haplopelma, Poecilotheria and Psalmopoeus the most.

 

[LPacker79]

I don't yet have much experience with a lot of the genuses, but so far Lasiodora is my favorite.

HHHmmm, never realy thought about it.. I have over 70 different species and most are Aphonopelma, mainly due to their availability in the hobby. But, my favorte would run a close race between Chilobrachys, Chromatopelma, Megaphobema, and Brachypelma.

 

[KelliH]

Right now I would have to say, for me, it's a three way tie between Poecilotheria, Avicularia and Brachypelma.

 

[bodc21]

My Avicularia 's hands down!

 

[blackacidevil]

Poecilotheria are just too cool and there are so many of them. I also like the Psalmopeous but I really only know of the cambridgei and irminia.

(of course how can you NOT like Brachypelma with all the large, colorful, long-living species)

 

[tikbalang]

haplopelma for me. especialy the psychotic one (guess which one?).

 

[dennis]

I like em all ... but I think grammostola are the cutest by far!!

Dennis

 

[pamandron]

I would have to say the Lasiodora, then Brachypelma. Ron likes the avic's Pam

 

[Bob the thief]

grammys are really tough bugs.
hard to kill em..
unless of course you drop em.

 

[conipto]

Cyclosternum, of course.

Bill

 

[Kugellager]

And now for my serious answer.

So far with my limited T experience I would have to say Psalmopeous and Avicularia...

blackacidevil,

There have also been a bunch of P.reduncus for sale lately...I currently have a 1" sling...well see how that goes. My irminia went from 1" to 5 1/4" in one year...fast growers!

I have a tie between Haplopelma's and Psalmopoeus

 

[Nathan Danger]

i just realized i forgot to answer too....

i only have one spider, an avicularia avicularia...and i love it a lot...however...i love the haplopelmas....but i'm scared of them....so i am gonna get one...and be afraid of it...at night

 

[Venom]

I really enjoy Ephebopus.

I'm a huge fan of the Brachypelma. There is no other genus which combines good disposition, brilliant coloration, and a willingness to hang out in the open where you can appreciate them as much. You can get 2 out of 3 with many other genera, but Brachypelma has all 3 going for it.
