MOST BEAUTIFUL SPIDER (In my opinion)

[veronyka]

All beautiful spiders!! I think my c. fasciatum sling will turn out to be one gorgeous spider.. but right now she's just kinda plain. I think my favorite has to be my b. smithi. I LOVE the stripes of orange on her "knees." I dunno, tho, my h. lividium and my b.vagans are very pretty as well.

Bingo, couldn't have said it better myself.

I would have to agree Pokies beat H.maculata on looks.

So far, I think that the absolutely positively most beautiful tarantula has definately got to be Chilobrachys fimbratus! However, I don't plan on getting one any time soon as they are obligate burrowers (from what I understand) and they cost alot. I want to see them.

I recently acquired a C. fascitum s'ling. I think those are gorgeous. Mine is tiny and has no color yet. I am also a big fan of C. cyanopubecens. I plan on getting one of those as soon as Kelly Swift sells them again. The Pokies are cool looking too.

oh they are beautiful...but they definately are obligate burrowers we see ours so rarely.....it makes it such a treat when we do though...

i do feel the a xenesthis immanis is definately one of the most beautiful species

I've had my C. fimbriatus since November, and seen it about three times since then, all within the last couple days. It moulted, and that was the first I saw of it. Still a baby around 2.5 inches, but quite a looker already

Coasta Rican Tiger rump = Most under rated spider out there. Can't spell the scientific name, so uh..yeah

I took a look at a picture of a xenesthis immanis on Rick West's birdspiders.com:

How does yours look compared to this one? I like the carapace, but the abdomen, I'm not so sure about.

Their abdomen is what makes them so unique aside from their carapace and legs

Ok, it is starting to grow on me. Is the purple sheen normal? Check this out. It is related to the tiger rump. I just saw it on Rick West's website:

OK, the X. immanis has just grown on me big time. What are they like? Aggressiveness, webbiness, burrowingness...? Caresheets?

That is related to the tiger rump Cyclosternum Fasciatum

They do have other Xenethises though

 

[schlinkey]

/agree C_M. Though they DO look a bit scruffy! (greenbottles)

*grins*

Edit: as for my humble opinion of which sp's are the most beautiful

-Cobalt (and several other haplopelma sp)
-Pokes (ill include H.Maculata here, they are the ornamental baboon anyway )
-Some Avics
-Taigah rump
-B.Boehmei
-G.Aureostriatum

that's a lot isnt it? well, that's what happens when one start trying to figure out the most beautiful T's =D

The immanis is a great spider! One of my favorites I have a adult female that eat like a horse
She is wery agressive, dont want to stick my hand in and cuddle her, that´s for sure hehe...
She dont burrow, althoug she has the oportunity....
Sometimes she sit in the flowerpot then....She has´nt made any webbing either, but she´s great!
I keep her like my L. p, she seems to like that


Here is some caresheets:

How cheap are they? And do you know who is selling them? I can't believe it. Less than 24 hours ago, I thought this T was ugly. Now I'm thinking it might be one of the collest! I can't wait to get one? =D

I love X. immanis also. I have 2 males and 1 female all around the 4" mark and they are my absolute favorite T's.
