Does anybody have any rare/uncommon species that most people don't have? If so would you mind posting a picture of them here (or a link to one)?

well ig depends on your term of rare. some wold say m. balfouri is rare. to where others say its uncommon but not rare. but also your in canada. some sp are rare in canada but not in US or EU. to where some are super common in the US and uncommon in canada but semi rare in EU [like some Aphonopelmas]

i personally keep a Phormictopus Sp. purple. i dont see those around much [cant do pic atm at work and boss is here] and would love to have some more. but ig "rare" depends who you ask and where they are imo :p

I have a black morph of Euathlus truculentus. Couldn't find almost anything about it when I googled it. Some german forum posts mentioning it but not much more. Don't have a pic atm but it's like the regular E.truculentus but the metallic green on its femurs and carapace only show in specific angles and the red shows less. Most of the time it just looks totally black. Yes, a more boring looking version.

I was going to say my M. balfouri is my rarest T. Although it seems you can find them almost everywhere now, prices are even starting to go down a little. When I get my H. himalayana I will reply again. :)

Currently my rarest is probable my O. diamantinensis but on Wednesday I'm getting a C. perezmilesi and a N. sp "Guyana" both of which I've had difficulties finding info on so I guess they must be pretty rare too.

O. diamantinensis

These threads are always funny to see how people deceive what is "rare". The price on M. balfouri started dropping ten years ago ;) For this thread Thrixopelma sp. "Cajamarca" is the winner so far. I'll try to throw some pics up tonight when I get home.

Later, Tom

M. Balfouri-Expensive, yes. Rare, no. Now, if you mentioned M. lambertoni, I would agree.

Tom, I would love to see your long list of rarities I know you have.

I would have have to go with my t.cyaneolum and p. so purple. Neither were really expensive but they are not in high demand which is a shame cause the former is a great newbie spider and the latter has a charming ferocity. I've kept a lot of oddball true spiders for sure, a few were local varients or undescribed but I don't have any pictures though.

Rarest tarantula I own would be my G. pulchra, that'll change tomorrow when I get my P. sazimai sling.

Rarest T in my collection would have to be my 3.5" confirmed female Haplopelma Schmidti. I have yet to see another one in Canada. Also have anAvicularia minatrix mature female which is a fairly uncommon Avic.
