What's the best/coolest looking T in your opinion?

[Luka98]

This has probably been posted a million times before but sounds like a fun thread. It doesn't necessarily have to be the most exotic spider ever that costs $2000, just a T that makes you go "wow that's a beautiful animal".

For me it's the psalmopoeus irminia - the tiger coloration on the abdomen, the jet black hair, the red fangs, the purple feet , the orange striped legs - just amazing, can't wait to own one some day and they're not too pricey here either. It also has the most majestic threat posture ever although i wouldn't want to be on the other end of it

I can't narrow it down to one, but here is my short list:

C. versicolor
C. cyaneopubescens
B. boehmei
P. platyomma (males)
B. albiceps

 

[EulersK]

Probably B. boehmei or B. emilia. When I saw B. emilia online for the first time, I actually thought it was photoshopped.

Likely my most docile tarantula, despite those bald spots.

Unsexed so far, but suspect female. Hands down my least photogenic spider - scurries off with...

I really love the patterns on "baboon" species... Ceratogyus, Encyocratella, Harpactira, etc and especially Pterinochilus!

 

[Ashlynn Rose]

Harpactira pulchripes
Chilobrachys fimbriatus
Encyocratella olivacea

I'm still starting out but i'm pretty sure my first OW will be from the ceratogyrus genus, amazing animals

 

[Minty]

When I talk to colleagues and friends about tarantulas, I show them images of various species. They’re always most impressed by Chromatopelma cyanepubescens and Poecilotheria metallica.

Personally, there are so many species I love the look of, but Lapropelma violaceopes wins, for me.

 

[Luka98]

Poecilotheria metallica

This is also my go to T when non keepers get curious about T's

When I saw B. emilia online for the first time, I actually thought it was photoshopped.

They are so gorgeous, always wonder how and why they developed that perfect carapace triangle it's so distinct

If you look very closely, many Brachypelma have that triangle. Just not nearly as distinct. I'm just a sucker for anything red or orange

Some of my Ts that were in the open

 

[Greasylake]

For me it's the psalmopoeus irminia

I'm a fan of the Xenesthis and Pamphos, even though I don't have any yet. Phormictopus can look great too, and the patterns on Pokies always get me.

 

[Enrgy]

Can’t decide lol but when I got my pseudoclamoris gigas (used to be t gigas) sling I was like omfg

The species I haven’t seen yet.

Nice but please clean your geniculatas cage better the next time you feed it humans (that's the common name i think), there's some remains i can see in the back presumably from the last feeding, those are a nesting ground for bacteria!

She insists that I leave it exactly where it is and I'm not silly enough to defy the will of the Murderess*, I use springtails in most of my enclosures anyway

0.1 Acanthoscurria geniculata DTTI (Death To The Infidels)

 

[antinous]

Everybody’s wrong. The best looking T are Pamphobeteus species, take a look at P. antinous, P. sp. solaris, P. sp. mascara, P. ultramarinus, P. magna, P. sp. platyomma, and pretty much the rest of them. Phormictopus as well, check out P. sp. blue, sp. purple, sp. all green, sp. green femur, sp. gold carapace, sp. cancerides, sp. auratus, and the rest of them.

But if I had to narrow it down to one of each of the genera I mentioned, it would be Pamphobeteus sp. solaris and Phormictopus sp. blue.

Pamphos are awesome spoods

These guys are beautiful even as slings as well.

Nice irminia. How's her temper mine was docile until her last molt now every time I try to feed her threat posture
