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.
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.Originally Posted by mexican8s

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

Phormictopus cancerides offcourse
A geniculata
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.
Yep youre right, very underrated species and one of my favorite.

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![]()
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.

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...

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.

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!
