Everyone's Top 3 Favorite Tarantula Species?

[justanotherTkeeper]

Wow, I've never noticed this thread until now.

If I had to pick based on my entire collection at the moment, it'll be like this:
1. Poecilotheria ornata
2. Theraphosa blondi
3. Theraphosa apophysis

If I had to pick based on NW species in my collection:
1. Theraphosa blondi
2. Theraphosa apophysis
3. Theraphosa stirmi

If I had to pick based on OW species in my collection:
1. Poecilotheria ornata
2. Poecilotheria subfusca "highland"
3. Stromatopelma calceatum

If it was based on whatever or everything in the hobby:
1. Poecilotheria ornata
2. Pamphobeteus sp. solaris
3. Harapactira pulchripes (hoping for a loan once my boy is mature *fingers crossed I can find him a female*)

@Liquifin like a kid in a candy store... lol

Tied between vagans and geniculata.. ive had too many geniculata over the years I have lost interest in them a bit

 

[CommanderBacon]

I like all of my spider tho

Okay here, I guess these are my tops:

1. Acanthoscurria geniculata
2. Plesiopelma sp Bolivia
3. Cardiopelma mascatum

Subject to change at any time.

So tliltocatl Albopilosus has the best personality out of 23 Sp. in my old collection, absolutely charming little animal unfortunately i have a new collection and its is small at the moment, but i love the Brachypelma genus as a whole for their beauty and longetivety, my grammostola pulchra thats in my collection now is giving my tliltocatl albopilosus a run for its money personality wise, and the Sp. i discovered more recently that i think may be my favorite Species of all time(at least right now anyways) is the Poecilotheria Rufilata, i am raising 3 slings, and i plan in breeding them in the future, absolutely stunning animals and i cant wait to see their adult colors in person, but my opinion is always changing

 

[Kada]

1. Poecilotheria species. All of them.
2. H. maculata
3. S. calceatum. Probably the whole genus if they were possible to obtain

avicularia are also up there!

my opinions don't change by the day, in fact I have had this list for decades hahaha. Striking patterns and arboreal is my schtick!

I'm gonna go with my poecilotheria metallica cause shes beautiful.. brachypalma Boehmei always out on display and beautiful orange... and my megaphobema robustum looks like a boehmei kinda but way bigger
