[Desert Rose]

Grammostola rosea (Awsome "pet")
Grammostola pulchra (Also an awsome "pet")
Brachypelma smithi (Good colors)
Brachypelma vagans (The adult males are beautiful)
Brachypelma albopilosum (You would have to try to kill this one)
Brazilopelma colloravillosum (Good contrast, good for display)
Avicularia avicularia (Hardy for an arboreal)
Avicularia versicolor (Beautiful colors)
Theraposa blondi (Oh come on, 12 inches!!!)

As you can tell, I like hardier T's.

 

[Transylvania]

My list of 10... two I currently own and one I've owned before. All the others are on my wishlist.

A.geniculata
A.minatrix
A.versicolor
B.albiceps
B.smithi - the classic T
C.elegans - at least one mini sp.
Cyriopagopus sp. "blue"
G.aureostriata
M.robustum
P.rufilata - only because it's large and the best color in the world (green), otherwise I probably wouldn't get a pokie

Not the best list, I'm still new to the hobby.

 

[pinkfoot]

Results and replies will change regularly, but here's today's answer...

(In no order)

Augacephalus junodi

Xenethis immanis
Poecilotheria Metallica
Avicularia avicularia
Brachypelma smithi
Acanthoscurria geniculata
Theraposa blondi

Some rare, some overtraded...all essential to my list!

 

[Varden]

THat must of been tuff huh, from your hundreds and hundreds of Ts?

You have no idea. **twitch-twitch** I mean, seriously. **twitch-twitch** It's like you're trying to wean me off something **twitch** addictive. I mean, come on! Only 10? Shouldn't there be another '0' in there **twitch** somewhere?

 

[neanyoe]

[P. Novak]

Haha the funny thing is I can actually see you along with all the other 1000+ T keepers doing that.

 

[Masurai]

A. urticans
S. reddelli
T. blondi
7 G. rosea's

 

[Merfolk]

Hummmm got 25... so if it must be from what I already have:

A versicolor
Chromatopelma
Singapore Blue
T blondi
Selenocosmia crassipes
Poecilotheria rufilata
Poecilotheria ornata
OBT
L parahybana
Holothele NDS

But it might change since all I have left to get are pricey ones:
P metallica, P subfusca, X immanis, T apophysis, Brachypelma bohemei, Grammostola acteon etc

 

[RottweilExpress]

A. urticans
S. reddelli
T. blondi
7 G. rosea's

7 Roseas eh? Well well well...

 

[Alice]

10 is hard, and the answer might be another one tomorrow, but here we go:

p. metallica
p. subfusca
g. pulchra
b. annitha
c. spec. 'blue'
h. maculata
a. versicolor
a. huriana
b. rudloffi
p. ultramarinus

of those, i still lack the huriana und the ultramarinus... but on the other hand, yesterday's count revealed 60 spiders, 58 of them tarantulas (including the slings), so i think i can wait a bit longer for them

 

[Panic]

B.Smithi - color, attitude
B.Emilia - same with smithi, a must have with me
G.Aureostriata - Golden bands
G.Rosea - common is cool
B.Albopilosum - fuzzy bear
B.Boehmi
A.Geniculata - appetite
L.Klugi
L.Parahybana
G.Pulchra - totally black!!!!


i won't live without having a Smithi and Emilia....

3.) T. Blondi or Apophysis
4.) L Parabyhana
5.) Avic sp Amazonica.
6.) A Versicolor or Purpurea
7.) P. Fasciata or Regalis (or at least one from this genus)
8.) A Seemanni
9.) B Smithi
10.) Nhandu sp

 

[† [sandi] †]

[lunixweb]

I would select..

-Acanthoscurria Geniculata
-Brachypelma Albiceps
-Brachypelma Klaasi
-Brachypelma Smithi
-Ceratogyrus Bechuanicus
-Citharischius Crawshayi
-Monocentropus Balfouri
-Poecilotheria Regalis
-Pterinochilus Murinus
-Xenesthis Immanis

can I put other T's??

 

[LimaMikeSquared]

I only have fourteen spiders now lol. I keep a selective bunch. lol. As it stands at the moment, this is what I would have.

P. ornata
P. regalis
P. subfusca - The black one - is that highland or lowland?
P. pederseni


P. irmina
P. pulcher

G. aureostriata

B. auratum

E. vulpinus

X. immanis

Then it would be a throw up between P. miranda , P. metallica.
I would probably have to sneak more in by having communal set ups

 

[Lorgakor]

Wow, that's a really hard one. I'll feel like I'm being mean to the ones I didn't pick but here goes,

G. pulchra
B. emilia
E. campestratus
P. miranda
P. pulcher
A. versicolor
A. huriana
B. albiceps
P. ultramarinus
O. sp. "Koh Samui"

I would have put P. metallica in there, but I love my P. miranda girl. Sigh, I've left so many out!

 

[Zman16]

I wish I could have 10, but I can only have like three at the most (and thats if I had 2 from my parents). But my top ten would be:

B. smithi
A. Versicolor
C. Cyaneopubescens
H. Lividum
T. Blondi
P. Murinus
