What is the most saught after tarantula ?

[Steve Calceatum]

I can't imagine there would be any pics SUPPOSIDLY it hasn't even been seen since it was described in 1917. I also had tried looking for a pic. LOL.

The only pictures of the members of the Stromatopelma genus I've come across are the S. cal, and the S. calceatum griseipes (which is also on my list). But I've not come across pics of the S. batesi, S. fumigatum, S. pachypoda, or the S. satanas.

Heteroscoda is the other genus of the three within the Stromatopelminae sub family not having members in the hobby. I can't find pics of H. crassipes, or H. crassipes latithorax either.

Genus Encyocratella has only one member, though: E. olivacea (better-known as "The Holy Grail"). :drool:

I've decided this is one of my most sought after tarantulas.

Yes, if I can't have my B epicureanum, I'll gladly settle for this - where do I sign up? :3:

Gotta book a trip to Peru. Need to see this 1st hand because my eyes do not believe what I am seeing. That is sweet!

Surprised no mention of A versicolor.

"Sought after" can have multiple perceptions. If you already 1 or a couple, you are no longer seeking for them. If most ppl have G rosea's, then they are no longer seeking for them. Rare and hard to find T's, are a flavor that not everybody can satisfy, making the ppl that know and want them, still seeking them. Supply and demand my friends.....
