The least desireable species...

[stubby8th]

Just about any old word species. I am just not interested in keeping an overly agressive T. This may really appeal to some, not me.
Give me your NEW WORLD Brachypelma's, Aphonopelma's, Avicularia's & Grammastolsa's ANY day! There are so many bright, colorful and interesting animals that fall within these catagories.

PS - L-O-V-E G.rosea, no apology.

 

[Nick_schembri]

G. rosea is my favorite, probably because it was my first T, but the colour on my RCF is great. My least desirable would be dwarf species or small species. I like T's that get big.

i wasn't fond of my a. avic b/c it made it's enclosure so dirty with webbing and poop that i couldn't see it well...plus it was difficult to keep humid enough so i don't want any more avics...

i wouldn't want any spider that i would have to mist daily either like t. blondi or such...i am bad about daily maintainence so it would probably just die on me. plus i have mold problems with the high humidity t's

i do like my brown spiders i.e. g. rosea and a. seemani. they are still very pretty despite their brown color. i also love haplopelmas...even if i see them for just a few moments when i come home at night its worth it.

if my p. irmina wasn't the most gorgeous t in my collection i might not want her, she is a real pet hole...but when she does come out

I had a unknown species from Ecuador. It seldom ate and when it molted you hardly noticed it was growing. And on top of that, it was really ugly. Very elongated abdomen. Not my kind of tarantula thats for sure, but it would be interesting to know what genus and species it was.

I don't want any old world species. They are too venomous and not such beautiful as new world species for me.

 

[harrymaculata]

anything that isn't a african/Asian arboreal apart from my para and boehmei, i also dislike chillis, but i do still like b.albopilosums caus it was my first t and there
great, i don't like obligate burrowers

 

[Cirith Ungol]

I have to add:
I'd love to have some pokies or OBT's but I'm a bit nervous about the venom and speed of those T's. They'll have to wait another year or two or.. maybe longer.

 

[cryptly]

I have to say T. blondi. I can see what other people like about them, but it just doesn't appeal to me. I think it's the U hairs that's keeping me away. U hairs and all the molt problems I've read about.

My P. regalis isn't holding my interest like my Brachys and Africans. I may try a different pookie later, but I don't think I'll be getting another regalis once I part with mine.

 

[David_F]

The least desirable to me wouldn't really be any one species. It's more a general group: The slow growers. Aphonopelma, Grammostola, etc. If I came across some adults of these genera I'd consider them but as for raising slings, I think that's out the window in the future. I'm impatient.

 

[JJJoshua]

It's not a tarantula, but I have a Bothriocyrtum Californicum that I have not seen since I put it in it's cage. I would not recommend it to anyone. I'm not sure if it has molted or anything as of yet. Very BOOORING.

I love rosies. My Blondi and Lividum are the most interesting Ts I have at the moment.

 

[meier link]

tiger rumps do nothing for me....i really think theyre quite ugly, and their samll size doesnt help

 

[nowhereman]

At this point in time I'd NOT want to have a Nhandu chromatus. It just looks too spooky!

You must be joking ?

 

[Vys]

I'm very tempted to say L. parahybana. They aren't particularly cute unless you find black peat or equivalent which I can't, and I tire of the wanderlust they seem to get? (At least mine).

I will never get a Stromatopelma, I think. Aggressive, more-venomous-than-average, and looking like a skin-disease..likely reclusive as hell also

 

[Cirith Ungol]

You must be joking ?

EEEWWW... look at that death-like, bone-like carpace... That one just looks too sinister

Kinda joking but it still freaks me a bit! But I bet ya, once I've gotten more used to those looks I'll have to have one, because they are as cool as they look freakish

 

[Krapf0n]

i dont like burrowing Ts since i dont want to spend money on animals which i only can see maybe 1-2 x in a year.

I can relate. It wasn't that they were too sinister, but that I thought they were too garish at first (I still draw the line at C. cyaneopubescens - when mine died I wasn't crying in my beer, GBBS are like a badly dressed clown ). Now a few years after first seeing N. chromatus I've come to appreciate their colouration and have 5 slings up in the spider room.

Rotting corpses

I can pretty safely say the only spider i dislike would be a rotting, worm ridden corpse

some spiders i might not buy for cost reasons, but i would take any tarantula and possibly any bug... not *quite* sure if i'd want a Phoneutria egg sac though....

perhaps i am easily amused... ok, i *know* i am easily amused... but i like 'em all and find them all very interesting. even the most boring tara has a micro-filtration system attached to it's mouth... no moving parts when it breathes...
shed the lining of their genitals (try *that* one if you are a boy...)

and even Aphonopelma Plain and Tall still has a certain like, otherworldly mystique to it that i find appealing.

I'd miss my killer clowns terribly.

 

[LEVIS]

I absolutely hate Brachypelma albopilosum... What a repulsive and utterly hideous tarantula that is... It really sucks on all levels.

They are such rubbish... "Curlyhair's" (what a delightful name) makes the Ewoks (and maybe even JarJar Binks) look like <edit> Shaft.

 

[Cirith Ungol]

I'm getting three of those above (C.c.) this week! I'm really looking forward to those beautiful freaks!
