Under-rated/Under appreciated T’s

[YungRasputin]

G. rosea tbh - absolutely beautiful species that’s not really talked about often

 

[Tarantulafeets]

H gigas, they might just be the average brown t, but I just love their velvety look as adults, and for my experience, their personalities have been amazing.

Also:

Overrated and underrated tarantulas

In your opinion, which species is overrated and which is underrated?

Ceratogyrus sanderi. I do not see this one mentioned too often. It is a ceratogyrus species that does not have the horn, but I think it s a beautiful brown and tan tarantula with an interesting plate where the horn is on other species. Not to mention, the darker coloration around the eyes.

Davus pentaloris. Absolutley beautiful species. 2 Weeks post molt

 

[Kibosh]

Any of the Tapinauchenius.

Seldom seen in most people's collection, beautiful, lots of personality, always keep you on your toes in rehouses. Lol

Seeing a few people confusing "uncommon" with "underrated", some of the species mentioned would be in more peoples' collections if they were cheaper/more readily available.

Here's a couple that are pretty easy to get hold of that are usually overlooked.

Euathlus species from Chile! Gorgeous colors on a lot of them and just as docile as G.rosea/porteri. I hope we don’t lose them from the hobby now that Chile is closed for export.

Lasiadora parahybana checks all my boxes; cheap, great eater, gets enormous, always out, and actually a really really beautiful spider. I think because of their constant availability and the fact most dealers just give them away basically they’re completely over looked, especially by newer keepers. Also, they’re not blue/green/purple lightning bolts with venom that will earn you a prescription so a lot of people “building” towards OWs just pass them by.

Grammostola Pulchripes: Large,Colorful,Docile,Great eaters,Stay out in the open,Reasonably active.

Tliltocatl verdezi

 

[VukSRB]

Grammostola iheringi for sure #1 underestimated species. They are the largest, fastest growing and most beautiful Grammostola out there. It can reach 9 inches

 

[Jesse607]

I agree with so many that were mentioned (especially any/all Tliltocatl), but I would say Aphonopelma hentzi deserves much more attention. They really are stunning after a molt, but it is hard to capture in photographs. I have three, one adult female and two juvie females, and they are all quite active, feisty eaters, and love redecorating their enclosure often.

A. hentzi is one I would love to own at one point, it's raising a 1/4" sling to adulthood that makes me hesitate. I'm afraid of losing it during its fragile sling stages.
