Is there an awards body that recognizes a certain specie to be the most sought after and most beautiful of all Tarantulas? Don't get me wrong, they're all beautiful to me.

So, again:
1) most rare
2) most sought after
3) most beautiful
3.1) color
3.2) size

Am I asking too much? :p

An awards show would rock. I could just see all the T's going on-stage to collect their awards... heehee

Most likely to succeed after final molt is...

Best personality is....

Most beautiful is....

Of course, if it's a beauty pageant....do the T's have to do the whole talent show part?

"I"d like to thank my keeper for all the crickets. And I'd also like to thank ExoTerra for my lovely enclosure..."

I'm cracking myself up.

too bad slings didnt keep their awesome color as adults. i could think of hundreds that would qualify. imagine a 9 inch blue Hatian Brown, or most any of the avics full size with sling colors.

Hello
My vote for most beautiful tarantula is the Brachypelma boehmei. It caught my eye when I first entered the hobby, and is still (one of) my favorites now. I think its the flagship beauty tarantula...the one guaranteed to make jaws drop and shut up the people proclaiming their distaste for spiders...

I don't know how many times I've had people telling me 'Ugh! I don't like spiders, how on earth could you keep....oooooo, that one's pretty!"

hahaha, in fact, I was at my sister's one Christmas and was showing my five year old niece some pictures from Apets...and she was saying "yuck! spiders!"...until I showed her a boehmei...and she goes shouting, "Mommy! Look at the pretty spider!"
So my sister in the next room (an arachnophobe) yells at me "What are you doing to my daughter!?"
{D

Oh, and I'm a very lucky girl, I have a B. baumgarteni, and it sure looked female on its last molt! I can't wait until it gets bigger!

Now I haven't seen every tarantula but I've been looking for a very attractive species to add to my collection. Through all the pictures i saw I'd have to say the male Brachypelma boehmei (red bloom bird-eater) is gorgeous. Bright pink with black contrast and a nice starburst on the carapace.

Other than thay the ornamentals have always caught my eye. Especially the gooty.
