Y. diversipes slings, p. Cambridgei, p. Rufilata, GBB, phormictopus sp. green, and c. Lividus green femur for green Ts that come to mind.

As for the rarest IME: P solaris, T seladonia, T sp Panama, neoholothele fasciaaurinigra, and some pokies that are restricted a lil bit in the united states plus they’re pretty endangered in the wild

Homoeomma chilensis :rolleyes: ;)
Definitely rarer than T. seladonia, at least here in Europe.

Phrixotrichus scrofa might as well be a myth in the UK, don't think I've ever seen one for sale here.

A few years ago, I was looking for a NW arboreal that was not an A. avic and came home with an A. minatrix. I just realized that I haven't seen one for sale since - online or at shows. (Admittedly, I don't make it to many shows - especially not this past year.) So are they rare? Are they just not popular or difficult to breed?

In Germany the supply fluctuates from year to year. Sometimes you can order it without any problems, then - as is currently the case - not so good at all.

I would love to get my hands on:

Ornithoctoninae sp hon-sej
And
Chilobrachys sp. orange

But pricing is too high for my taste.

By rare, do you mean rare in the trade or rare in the wild?
Rare like if I walk through the tall grass, which shiny tarantula has the lowest percentage to appear, along with the rarest by percentage chance of capturing with an ultra ball.

Eucratoscleus pachypus and Hommoeomma orellani jump to the top of my list. Would jump on it if I found either.

Generally in nature blue is a pretty rare color, but with Tarantulas is does seem to be that green is the rarest color.
