What do you like so much about this tarantula Brendan?

[FryLock]

That it indeed is Brendan better then irminia in my warped mind {D

[Big Dragonfly]

Brenden, I think I have to agree with you. The colors are very mild in comparison with many of the other spiders that get kudos for being amongst the most beautiful. But if you ask me, an adult females colors look like they were painted by a master artist rather than as a mechanism of natural selection. Here is a link to one of my favorite pictures:

I think that Vayu Son also has some excellent photos of his P. cambridgei(s).

[LPacker79]

P. cambridgei is definitely one of the most underrated, and one of my favorites! I've got a 6" female who I'm completely enamored with. They've got such a subtle beauty about them, and they're absolutely stunning fresh from a molt! All that lovely mossy green......

[Ssspidermom]

I have to agree - they were always on my wish list, and I only got mine this past March, though I am totally in love!! Hoping for a female, but aren't we all?!?!?!

[Brian S]

I am in total agreement 100%. The subtle colors on this spider is beautiful. They are also very hardy and grow fast. My sling molted last week and I am amazed at how much it had grown. P cambridgei gets my vote as being one of the most under rated.

[xBurntBytheSunx]

are they as reclusive as suntigers?

[Spider-man 2]

I have to agree - they were always on my wish list, and I only got mine this past March, though I am totally in love!! Hoping for a female, but aren't we all?!?!?!

Actually, A lot of people are looking for a male right now. I am sure a lot will want one if one ever becomes available.

*hopes his P. cambridgei is male*

Here's my little one:

[Big Dragonfly]

are they as reclusive as suntigers?

Not in my experience. Mine is almost always visible except for when it is in pre-molt. I got rid of my irmina because I could never see it.

[behemoth]

Not in my experience. Mine is almost always visible except for when it is in pre-molt. I got rid of my irmina because I could never see it.
Jon

My irminia is the same. She just makes a little home at the bottom of her tank and stays there constantly never moving. Even when I give her crickets she rarely ventures out.

[JacenBeers]

I am so glad that I finally got a Trinidad Chevron. It has been on my wantlist for years.

[Aviculariinae]

What do you like so much about this tarantula Brendan?
1. A Freshly Molted Cambridgei has the most Beautiful mossy green effect

2. People dont realise how big Cambridgei gets,i have seen specimens up to 8". But overall i love their Chunky size and really thick arboreal legs.

3. Temperment,when they are in their inclosure they give one of the best Threat postures you will ever see,but once out of the container they just calm right down!
That it indeed is Brendan better then irminia in my warped mind I,ll argree with that mate,the warped mind bit that is! LOL {D

Not in my experience. Mine is almost always visible except for when it is in pre-molt. I got rid of my irmina because I could never see it.
I,ll second that my Irminia at the moment is just freahly molted and is always out and about only when going to molt is when you never see them!

Cheers
Brendan

[Kali]

i keep hoping to find one at a show or something. i am still too nervous to order one. it would have to go thru the office @ my complex, and i don't trust them. i have wanted one for years!

[Archangel]

I am absolutely thrilled with mine. Her name is Elvira and she is gorgeous. I'm getting an irminia this week so I've not had any experience with them yet.

[Archangel]

I was just watching Elvira go up and down some bark wood in her enclosure and seemingly "rub" her fangs or otherwise "chew" the bark. A cricket had been there before and I don't know if that was part of her hunting or what. I had then misted her tank sides and she drank from the sides. I've seen my avics drink from the tank sides all the time but never the bark thing. Have any of your P. cambridgei done this? :?

[Bearo]

Looks like my P. irminia that molted to an adult male today :mad: :8o

[Archangel]

Wow that sucks. I'm getting my female irminia on Tuesday. I have had more than my fare share of males molting.

[rosehaired1979]

We all have our opinions on what T is underrated but what do you think Ts that under rated or under apprecitated.

A.chacoana
G.chalcothrix
G.aureostriata

Theres mine! Whats yours?

[Aviculariinae]

Hi,

I think Acanthoscurria geniculata are underrated. They are very beautiful species,they use to be the P Metallica of a couple of years ago,but huge eggsacks brought the price down!

[stonemantis]

P. cambridgei - Trinidad Chevron
G. rosea - Chilean Rose

These are my pics:

Trinidad Chevron- It gets to be a great size, beautiful coloration, very hardy.
Chilean Rose - Very common, long lived, good size, great coloration, very hardy

[Deschain]

C.fimbriatus, and the African species.

[Brian F.]

Grammastola pulchra, Brazilian black. Mine just molted (finally!) and she is beautiful!

[modeus]

Phormictopus cubensis, Cuban Gold, got to be one of my favorites, and I dont really hear much about them...

[The Juice]

I saw the Usambara is underrated,
I would also agree with the Trinadad chevron(P.Cambridgei)

[Nerri1029]

lots of Grammostola sp.

personally I think E. pachypus is under-rated

[Tony]

parahybana w/o a doubt...
You need at least one, and most people go 'eh....'
T

[GoTerps]

P. cancerides... young ones are such gorgeous blue... turn into beautiful adults with amazing patterns on the carapace... eat great... grow quickly...

[Lorgakor]

P. cancerides... young ones are such gorgeous blue... turn into beautiful adults with amazing patterns on the carapace... eat great... grow quickly...

Really? Mine barely eat at all. You're right about the nice purple highlights though.

[brigebane]

Aphonphelma anax for me. Really great little spiders

[Apocalypstick]

Grammastola pulchra, Brazilian black. Mine just molted (finally!) and she is beautiful!

Ditto a hundred times. So beautiful and SWEET :worship:

I agree the African and alot of OW species are not appreciated like they should be.... it seems like they get a bad rap, yanno? And why? Why I ask?
...the poor little angels from heaven :eek:

[Herps&Inverts]

I agree with the G. aureostriata and the G. pulchra. I'd also have to say that alot of the Avicularia species are underrated. Adding more, the A. anax and A. hentzi are also a set of spiders that have really been put on the back burner as far as beginner species. Same with a few of the Brachy's, esp. emilia and ruhnaui. Those are my picks :)

Sam

[kellygirl]

My top 5 most underrated tarantulas in the hobby:

1. Brachypelma angustum - ridiculously beautiful post-molt, lovely long hairs on the back legs, nice petite size

2. Brachypelma vagans - their striking contrast of rich velvety black and glaringly bright red is comparable to no other... well, maybe if I could see a Grammostola iheringhi live and in color, I might have something that could possibly come close to comparing... :drool:

3. Chilobrachys huahini - beautiful coloration, unique shape, great attitude, borderline obsessive webbers

4. Ephebopus murinus - stunningly beautiful markings, fun pissy attitude, unique urticating hairs on the palps

5. Eupalaestrus weijenberghi - I've never seen one in person so don't know what their personality is like; and I'm well aware that they don't always have the bright white coloration but I always wanted one of these after I saw this picture: http://www.birdspiders.com/archive/15B00367KD0B7KAEC2K14122AC3C943A1D4.html

-Kelly

[Bearskin10]

Some of the ones that came to my mind have already been mentioned, E. pachypus (gotta love the bell bottoms), P. cancerides (big and purple highlights, what more needs to be said) and E. weijenberghi (very sweet little T.) But the first one that comes to my mind would be Avic. laeta, one of my personal favorites but I very rarely ever hear anybody talking about them?

[cryptly]

E. pachypus - I'm surprised this one doesn't get mentioned more often, espically when somebody is looking for a first OW T. Shy and sweet, a little on the skittish side, but not overly so. Love those bell bottoms :D

B. albopilosum - It's a walking bad hair day! These guys are sweet little Ts, with more personality than a G. rosea. Great eaters too. {D

N. chromatus - Don't hear too much about these guys. Very interesting color combinations. Black, white knees and stripes with a bright red butt. Definatly stands out from a crowd. :D A great little T.

[Waxen]

I agree with kellygirl on the first 2 without a doubt. B. angustum and B. vagans are phenomenal looking T's and relatively nice attitudes. I think my favorite and most underrated T of all is B. albopilosum. Everybody always overlooks these cute little boogers and I just love them to death.

-Jason

[smokejuan]

G.aureostriata; Eucratoscels pachypus (Tanzanian Stoutleg); Nhandu coloratovillosus (Brazilian Black and White) . All my G.aureostriata have unique personallities and one large dominant female and very attractive T. Does not just sit there. I think is very under rated. Eucratoscels pachypus AKA Stout leg is a great T. I have two females and they are usually busy refining their tunnels and are out on top frequently for your viewing pleasure. Probably one of the few baboons you can get your hand that close two without fang marks and the most unique looking. Nhandu coloratovillosus I also feel is under rated. Little Do I hear about them on the board. They are an attractive T and remind me of that plant on "little shop of horrors". Always letting you know when they are hungry. They come to the end of their enclosure and wait for feeding time which is frequent. They have never shown me any aggression and are easy to maintain.

[Mr Ed]

A. Genic. Big spider, isn't a pet hole, good looking and likes to eat--a lot!

[Greg Wolfe]

I would say PZB's. These are the sweetest, most docile T's I have kept.

[Kid Dragon]

Grammastola pulchra, Brazilian black. Mine just molted (finally!) and she is beautiful!

I agree, Brazilian Blacks are not near respected as much as they should be. They have a full body, beautiful black velvet color, great eaters, nice temperment to handle, and interesting to watch.

They are one of my top five favorite species along with B. smithi, B. emilia, A. versicolor, and A. minatrix. However, the other four are NOT underrated in my opinion they are respected and reveared.

[Sean]

Lp's, Rufilatas, maculatas. There are quite a few imo...A.Metallica, Lasiodorides striatus

[harrymaculata]

i would have to say stromo and maculata are underated as is p.murinus post moult or in a threat posture they look the best, i would also say that p.fasciata are underatted mine has purple highlights, sky blue bands on her rear legs and the lush yellow bands makes this one of me favs but ya don't hear bout em much

[DanD5303]

Chacos are huge, always hungry, and sweet natured. As mine has grown larger, she has also gotten a lot more active. Brazilian black & whites also get big and they do eat! The ones I've got are not handling t's, but they are always moving around, probably looking for food. They look good too, especially after a molt.

[cocopuff]

1 - L.Parahybana

-Not- because of their size.

If you have the chance to get this T's from a sling, you will notice all his behavior change from each molt. Mine went from a little crybaby who wont come out of his hide to a 'im sitting in the open and I aint scared of nuthing'.

I know slings are more skittish, shy etc. But my Miss Piggy was really fun to watch growing.

2 - Pterinochilus murinus

They are crazy funny.

[xBurntBytheSunx]

i don't have a ton, but i enjoy all of mine...the only t i kept that i wasn't especially fond of was my a. avic b/c it would web and poop everywhere so its enclosure was so dirty i could never see it well...plus it molted into a mature male and died shortly after so that didn't help my opinion of him...

as far as under-rated i might have to say the first t i got, my a. seemani :)

for a brown spider it is extremely pretty, she's almost always visible, and plus when she is hungry she is a cricket devouring beast!....and she's still the biggest spider i own {D

[joe8421]

G.rosea and Pt.murinus around me s

but when i ask them why they are so low desirable ,the answers are all the same : too easy to get !! now especially Pt.m, a really current one here

but i love Pt.murinus Rcf,i keep it always as one of my favor

[Crimsonpanther]

W/O a doubt P. cancerides......the electric blue when there slings and the diffrent colour schemes as adults ....they grow sooo fast and you cannot beat there attitude !! My 7 " Male is really fiesty :evil: !!
Another one thats really under-rated is E. pachypus.....Those back leggs really get me....and very fiesty as well , But im a sucker for all African Sp. :clap:

[brigebane]

Going to have to come back and say I'm quite smitten with Phormictopus sp. spiders at this point. Just as attractive as most of the Phampoebetus sp. IMO

[Gesticulator]

P. cambridgei is definitely one of the most underrated, and one of my favorites! I've got a 6" female who I'm completely enamored with. They've got such a subtle beauty about them, and they're absolutely stunning fresh from a molt! All that lovely mossy green......

"Enamored" is a great way to put it. I sit and watch my ~ 5.75 inch lady. Her "personality" is so different than my other species. She is bold and visible. Has never shown real defensive behavior, but will let me know if I'm too close. She darts around quickly and would indeed teleport out the top, if given the opportunity. I think her colors are the most beautiful I have seen. Subtle and unique.

Others have asked for a comparison to P irminia. IME the cambridgei is a bit more subdued than her cousin.
Definitely underrated, here's my P cambridgei resting after a long awaited molt.

[Niloticus]

I agree Brendan. The P. Cambridgei is underrated. I love the moss green coloring. I am a big fan of the Psalmo's, particularly the P. Pulcher.

Niloticus

[DanHalen]

Yup, it's a pretty underrated spider. I'd like one :)

Personally, I think P. Irminia is highly underrated...

[Vanisher]

African baboons! CHEERS!!!///Johan

[brigebane]

African baboons! CHEERS!!!///Johan
Baboons rock, hardly underated IMO

[common spider]

By far the...............



..............Belize Cinnamon (crassicrus lamanai)


I think they are great.

[taorchard1987]

r these old world or new world. on petbugs.com it says tehre new world however there abdomen looks asthough there old worlds. Theres a Trinidad Chevron in the local petstore, there askin £65 for it its an adult, not sure on the sex ive only ever seen it once due to all the webbing, it has been in there since i started the hobby over a year ago. Maybe if i offer him £40 or£50 he'll accept :rolleyes: .
Heres the website, its got a pic of the very 1. You can also check all the offer spiders which r for sale, just click spiders/insects.
www.birminghamreptilesandpets.com

[IguanaMama]

They are New World. I'm in the US, so I have no idea what the prices and availablity is like where you are, but I can tell you that here slings are relatively inexpensive. And, they are REALLY REALLY REALLY FAST GROWERS. So for my money, I would buy a sling if you could get a hold of one. It's my favorite spider btw. But ssshhh, don't tell the others.
Jodi

[MissssSnape]

I think G. rosea's are underrated sometimes. They say they are easy and for beginners and that they stay stilla lot but ever since I got mine ( amonth ago) she has been fun even though she doesn't eat yet.
First she tought she was a swimmer
Then a miner
Now a mounteneer
Before you know it they will fly to the moon to be an astronaut

[CedrikG]

yep you are right, fantastic species and genus

Definitely underrated, here's my P cambridgei resting after a long awaited molt.

My Elvira looks much like your P. cambridgei and is quite beautiful. My P. irminia Morticia is "quite" defensive and always gives a threat display. When I bought her from Kelly she sent me a picture of Morticia on her arm. NFW!!! But still gorgeous and I love yours.

[Pennywise]

I have been waiting for my P. Pulcher to molt about 6 days now, it
found a hole in the cork bark and made a home there. right now the hole
is completely draperied over with webbing loaded with substrate.
Maybe after this molt to appx 3" I will see more of it. An exciting T to
watch when it's out and busy I think this member of the sme genus is
also underrated. Most buy Irminias because they are flashy, but Pulcher's
coloring is pretty cool too!

I know! I have a P. pulcher that likes to hang out on the water dish tank. It's a bit tough to change the water sometimes, lol. But I so love the blue cast to her.

[kingz]

first time i have seen thist T but after seeing all of your pics i will now be adding it to my wish list for sure. i think the colors on this T are just amasing.

[Archangel]

Mine is not that defensive either. She just makes lie the wood and makes her self quite small.

[Crotalus]

Phormictopus cancerides offcourse

[MRL]

A geniculata

[Arachnomaniac]

I think the title should go to the Blue fang Skeleton, because in each different stage of color it looks pretty. I might say King Baboons, but they are hardly underrated.

[CedrikG]

Yep youre right, very underrated species and one of my favorite.

[brigebane]

Phormictopus cancerides offcourse
My thoughts exactly :D

[YouLosePayUp]

Most underrated T's are without a doubt the males of any species. No one seems to want them however when you either breed them or just get to see them they are usually more vibrant and have more personality than the females. I have a male Brachypelma albopilosum on loan from Dragoon and he's aimply adorable. I have had 3 P. lugardi males and they all have a sharp contrast of black and tanish/gold on their carapace. Think of P. platyomma!!!

Anyhoo on to the most under rated species. Hmmm tough one
A. genic - under rated sure but definitely not the most under rated
N. chromatus - moderately under rated however a ton of us do have them
P. cambridgei - not sure I think its more that people drool and just can't decide if they want a green T

The most under rated T in my experience is ................ Brachypelma albopilosum

They get a fair size 6" mine is jet black with grey highlights, orangey brown curly hairs and striping to boot and if you buy at the right time it will only set you back about as much as a Super Big Gulp :D

[Venom]

Yes, B. albo's definitely deserve more appreciation in the hobby than they get!

In my opinion, C.fasciatum, P.regalis, and E.murinus are also underrated.

[Mha8649]

I have to throw another vote in for G.rosea sure maybe they don't move alot,
but they are a very pretty spider and we have to give them credit.
If it wasnt for them being easy to get there would be alot less arachno freaks out there...

[Juraki]

Although not my first T, I'd agree with that comment. I would bet that a huge number of people all over wouldn't have gotten into T's if they hadn't stumbled upon a G.Rosea in a local petstore.

[stubby8th]

Brachypelma albopilosum - Honduran Curlyhair.
Sweet, never a kicked hair! Will tollerate practically all manner of handling. Beautiful - gold-blonde highlights set against a velvety dark chocolate, chunky and fuzzy. Remind me of little teady-bears! So docile and slow-moving, great around kids or that certain someone who is unsure of your tarantulas; gateway T!

[Tleilaxu]

G.rosea for sure and any others under that genus also NA tarantulas LOVE the mexican blonds.

[RVS]

P. cancerides without a doubt.

[DavidBeard]

IMO, H. maculata and S. calceatum are very underappreciated. Many people stay away from them due to their speed and bad reputation, but in my experience they are no harder to work with than P. murinus or some of the Pokies.

[ShadowBlade]

Brachypelma albopilosum - Honduran Curlyhair.

Remind me of little teady-bears! So docile and slow-moving, great around kids or that certain someone who is unsure of your tarantulas; gateway T!

Yes, and INCREDIBLE eaters, especially as slings. (Though males can sometimes be hard to plump up.)

[Scolopendra55]

H.maculata all the way. Their coloration and patterning is out of this world :drool: !! I think the main reason people are so put off is because of their speed, temper, and venom strength. But as David said their no more difficult to manage than a pokie or a P.murinus.

[Nightshade]

that's the longest legged tarantula I've ever seen!:eek: Pretty cool.

[i-zombie]

P. cancerides without a doubt.

Put me down for another vote here!

[Lover of 8 legs]

I agree. Definitely one of my next aquisitions.

[Becky]

Poecilotheria regalis... gorgeous black and white T's! People tend to want the rarer ones.. also subfusca.. ok metallica hav an "in your face beauty" but subfusca have that subtle beauty.. i love them! Also, B. smithi, B. klaasi, B. emilia... so many are underated lol

Another one of my personal favs is Grammostola aureostriata.. gorgeous spiders

[andy83]

I would say anything Phormictopus:) .

[Ungweliante]

I think G. rosea's are underrated sometimes. They say they are easy and for beginners and that they stay stilla lot but ever since I got mine ( amonth ago) she has been fun even though she doesn't eat yet.

Haha :D

Thanks for the mental image!

[Rizzolo]

I'm with Becky - i love my G. aureostriata (chaco). unfortunately, i think is a male, but i love him anyway. he eats like a pig and grows quickly. he has a great temperament, and is really beautiful.

this is hard...

i also really like my pet holes, H. lividum. i see them almost every early morning at the top of their holes, before the sun come up. since their last molt, they are beautiful blue. i have never seen one eat, but everything disappears, so i think they are plate-lickers too.

[Cheshire]

C. crawshayi...living velvet creations.

[P. Novak]

I would have to say M. robustum


Im finally getting one tuesday, and its a female!:D

[xgrafcorex]

well i don't know if P cambridgei is the MOST underrated..but i do think they are somewhat underrated. my favorite species! heres a couple pictures of my mature male. even the mature males have great subtle coloration.

edit.. he had been eating a cricket..then caught the second one i put in with him..but decided to put them both down to get a little water to wash them down. after he got a little to drink, he turned around and picked up the crickets and finished eating. :D

[Selenops]

Re-post:

One that should be included is Haplopelma longipes, this is the species that gave me the T buying bug. This is the one that cemented my addiction. Extremely active, beautiful, and fascinating. Sleek and tenacious as a Doberman and quick as a Greyhound. An Asian classic!

I know as my collection grows this one may fade to the backdrop but will always remain a favorite.

The other evening I disturbed it's evening prowlings and it instantly performed these neat and deft acrobatics and went back into the hideaway log that serves as it's retreat (via on the ceiling).

Quite accessible and inexpensive, a perfect match for more experienced T keepers.

[Alice]

hm i think i have to add the t i purchased at the show last sunday:

grammostola spec. 'conception'. they are even more docile than rosies, fuzzier, with subtle markings and pink-reddish hair. just beautiful, and better eaters, too! ok, they are a bit smaller, but hey, you can't have everything ;).

i've never heard anyone say much about this species, though maybe that's because they are relatively new in the hobby and not yet described properly. anyone else here has one?

i'd add many grammostola species to the underrated list, like actaeon, iheringi and mollicoma.

[phil jones]

[B]i think b.albopilosa aka curly hairs are underrated they look like they are haveing a bad hair day everyday lol :) :D -- phil

[kristal_kaos]

I wouldnt own a rosea, so Im sure that is the most underrated

[Austin S.]

Aphonopelma hentzi was got to one of the top ones on my list. Although they tend be be somewhat dull and "boring", when they molt. They're colors amaze you. I'll post some pictures of my most recent CB F hentzi that molted, as soon as my dad gives my laptop back to me when he gets back.

Heres some links to a couple great shots of them though:

[beardslykrew]

i agree, i plan on purchasing one of these in the neer future

[BC Starr]

I think it is one of my most modestly beautiful tarantulas. I even think the abundance of silk tends to emphasize the point. The various hues deep rich coffee and coco with the violet undertones fascinate me specifically because of the subtlety.

Interesting poll question

BC Starr

[Vanisher]

lots of Grammostola sp.

personally I think E. pachypus is under-rated

I agree on E pachypus. They are really rare in Sweden. Yesterday i was about to order one from the U.S :) /Johan

[Tarantula_man94]

thats one gorgeous T. ive never heard of it

[Goomba]

Looks/Display wise.

My vote: B. albiceps and B. emilia, Aphonopelma sp. New River. Oh, and G. rosea RCF.

[Exo]

Pamphobeteus sp. (The females)

ps. I will kindly state that since this doesn't pertain to T husbandry, it belongs in the chat section. :)

[jayefbe]

And another repeat thread that should go into chat...
