I agree the irminia & cambridgei are both very common.. But the reduncus & pulcher.. I dont find these to be as common.. The pulcher is sought after.. But not very common.. The reduncus.. I hardly read anyone talk about them.. So.. I guess I could restate my original post & say the latter 2 are under rated...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.

I second, in fact the whole genusT. Gigas...
I totally agree!!I agree the irminia & cambridgei are both very common.. But the reduncus & pulcher.. I dont find these to be as common.. The pulcher is sought after.. But not very common.. The reduncus.. I hardly read anyone talk about them.. So.. I guess I could restate my original post & say the latter 2 are under rated...
This is like an insult, I refuse to believe that Pamps sp are under rated. they are very popular and in a good price. who can resist a baby T that has christmas tree pattern and turns into jet black, violet, purple, pink, blue, gold colors (depends on the sp.) as an adult.Anything Pamphobeteus
100% agree, such a beautiful spider IMOE murinus
PIG-
Agreeing with this also. There also seems to be very little care info on them specifically. Most of what i've found just pointed me towards info on C. huahini. So glad I have two little ones nowChilobrachys 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!
The P. pulcher seems to be on the up & up with popularity. The reduncus however, There aren't many good pictures either, no wonder they aren't popular. TiogaWhiteTiger has posted several more P. reduncus pictures and they are awesome :worship:the reduncus & pulcher.. I dont find these to be as common.. The pulcher is sought after.. But not very common.. The reduncus.. I hardly read anyone talk about them..
I 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.I second, in fact the whole genus
They are very popular and VERY sought after? LOLP metallica
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..The P. pulcher seems to be on the up & up with popularity. The reduncus however, There aren't many good pictures either, no wonder they aren't popular. TiogaWhiteTiger has posted several more P. reduncus pictures and they are awesome :worship:
