Lmao

B. albopliosum-

Don't get me wrong, I love mine and they have great bulldozer personalities, but they look like a badly neglected patch of pubic hair....

Made me laugh out loud. Thanks

For some reason the looks of any Brachypelma do not appeal to me, but I like native Aphonopelma(not that I keep any at the moment).

The GBB's are ugly!!


JK! Like many people said before, I dont think thier are ugly tarantulas but rather less apealing tarantulas, but I do see the beauty in all of them in their own way.

I always thought B. albopilosum was one of my most robust and healthy looking T's (meaning non-ugly). But this is a perfect description of the T I feel is... undesirable in appearance:

WARPIG said:
I admire the T blondi for sheer size and imposing figure, however, it is, I am sad to say ugly. When it is freshly molted it is truly beautiful, however it then starts to peel rub off its hair and looks like a bad suede jacket with bare patches.

Blondi's are really nasty looking. Always have hair rubbed off at the knees and stuff..and their abdomen looks overblown and is pretty unattractive.

I'm going to have to agree with the unattractiveness of aussie T's as well. And some of the brown africans (king baboon, I'm looking in your direction) aren't going to win any beauty contests in my book either.

A. seemani, I think they are just plain ugly.

I'm also not fond of most African species, especailly OBT and the ones with the horns.

LP's, besides getting big I see no appeal. They look like big bland rosies to me.

I don't mind plain colors, I have a few of them myself but I prefer them to be *slick* looking like a blondi or H. gigas.
When I first got into the hobby, I didn't like pokies, they creeped me out but I got over that:)

Are you guys crazy? How can't you like the looks of Pamphos and Xenesthis, especially the MMs?
