Heteroscodra maculata. You don't see many white tarantulas. Blue ones are all over the place in comparison.
I fixed it above but perhaps you didn't see it. I was being cute and sarcastic. Your' P metallica vids got my wife into this hobby, and I've spent a HUGE portion of my income on Ts lately, so thanks Rob!They are very popular and VERY sought after? LOL
C. huahini nasty little bug mine wants to rip my face off every time I feed her.If You have cats or dogs make sure they never get bit!!I am liking this thread. I have over looked the whole genus Chilobrachys, but after reading this thread I am looking into them more. Most likely I will be buying both a C.fimbriatus and a C. huahini when I order up some new T's this week. I just want to read up on them a bit more before I get to set on getting them.
i second the C. schioedtei, i have two slings on the way.Man a lot of the spiders listed here are actually kinda popular and not under rated at all!Psalmopeus for example is quite common in collections and people buy them up like crazy.
Some spiders that I personally feel deserve a lot more attention are:
Cyriopagopus schioedtei - Absolutely stunning species!Very colorful and reach impressive sizes as adults.I have no idea why but it seems like not to many hobbyists are interested in them.
Phlogius crassipes - Very cool spiders often overlooked due to there brownish color.These spiders get huge and are out in the open a lot unlike many other burrowing species.I think the Aussie T's in general deserve a bit more attention!Really just awesome spiders!
Chilobrachys fimbriatus - This species used to be very popular but is often sold dirt cheap now and not really hyped up very much.They have beautiful markings and while there not the most colorful they make up for it with there size and attitude hehe.They also are one of the best webbers I've seen and make excellent captives!
I think alot of the species I keep here are under rated but most collectors arent really into some of these random Asian species I love so much hehe!
Either way its all about what You like not whats most rare/uncommon under rated.

Oh yes, I wasn't arguing that at all. The supply & demand for pulcher's just haven't caught up with each other.The pulcher might be popular.. But its still a very uncommon sp.. I know there are some that want it.. Still very few that have them.. In fact.. I only know of one seller that has some slings for sell.. Since buying mine.. I have only seen a few for sale by an individual..
As far as the reduncus.. I have seen more of these for sale than the pulcher.. So they are easiers to come by.. But they are not as popular as the pulcher..
IMO..
I agree with u 100% on this post!!!!Man a lot of the spiders listed here are actually kinda popular and not under rated at all!Psalmopeus for example is quite common in collections and people buy them up like crazy.

Pictures... Or it never happened... ;PI agree with u 100% on this post!!!!
I just got female Cyriopagopus schioedtei
that is currently molting right ATM!!!!!
Oh! She is pretty!One sec.... Tommy!!!
I didnt really want to disturb her and take pics,
but since you ASKED!!!!
She just finished her molt safe and sound i got a few shots and uploading......;P
The violaceus is such a pretty spider aswell, like a turbocharged a.purpureaI need to get more of the other Taps. I also need to start remember to recommend them more. Mine are growing like weeds & my most active/viewable species.
Psalmopoeus cambridgei
Ditto. I confess I didn't think P.cambridgei or P.reduncus would be that interesting.Nhandu tripepii
