Looking for some special terrestrial T's

[viper69]

but not just any ordinary t's, something special.

SO expect us to read your mind and know what is ordinary and special to you-- let us know when you find something "special" to YOU, because you own a bunch already that aren't special to me.

The lack of listed criteria and expectations you put on people here is really shocking. You aren't the first and won't be the last to do this.

However, I'm willing to put in as much effort as you did for us. See below for a short list of special.

There are no ordinary T's. There are some that are more available, but that doesn't make them "worse". The $10 D pentaloris has more spectacular color and active behaviour than a lot of T's worth 20 times that. It becomes a "keeping up with the Jones" brag or ego thing.

Get what you like. Rare does not equal better.

I usually have an eye for expensive things. If I don’t look at prices and choose between several of the same basic things I always pick the expensive one somehow. That being said there are a lot of cool inexpensive T’s to go for. I’m lucked out this time as all the ones I thought were cool are readily available and inexpensive.

My recommendation after getting her late last year is a Aphonopelma chalcodes. She's recently-ish moulted and is absolutely stunning. Add in huge chelicerae and you've got a real looker.

I hadn’t ever really understood the draw towards A. Chalcodes until recently. Those chelicerae are incredible.

Phormictopus auratus?



Cyriopagopus albostriatus?



Totally different T's, I know.

Along the lines of the Acanthoscurria geniculate...think about getting a Phormictopus species.
