Species you can't live without

[Vespula]

Grammostola pulchripes: Probably my favorite species of tarantula. Great personality. I'll always have one, I'm sure.

Aphonopelma chalcodes: I can't imagine not having one, now. Probably tied with G. pulchripes for favorite overall species.

 

[Javanica]

@TheEternal - seems like I have similar taste in T's as I have 6 of the 8 species you listed (and instead of Chilo. fimbriatus I have C. dyscolus). I also really like my little Holothele incei, "personality" plus and grabs prey so quick you almost can't see it! I recently acquired a well-started Hysterocrates gigas and I've got to say I love its activity and attitude!!

 

[koldaar]

My list in no particular order:

P. subfusca- gorgeous
P. ornata- fiesty
G. pulchra- love the black
B. emilia- great color
N. chromatus- great color

 

[NeXus1]

Any of the Pokies or the avics!

 

[kwacky]

Pamphobeteus spp (so so so incredibly awesome, the best feeders ever)

Jayefbe, are you a keeper of these?

I started a thread about getting an Ultramarinus. Do you have any expereince?

Sorry for the thread hijack.

Back on topic, my favourite spider I had will probably be the Haplopelma minax. Not the most colourful, but fast, active, a great feeder, full of attitude and always willing to show off her fangs. I have a great close up photo of her displaying. I'll have to see if I can find it. It was taken that long ago it's on film

[suzypike]

Patience and persistence will usually pay off in finding species like N. tripepii.
Just keep watching if you really want one.

Wise words.A supposed 4.5 inch female just sold for a great price,and it was really closer to 6 inches.Our classifieds are a GREAT starting point.But keep in mind these are harder to come by,and do command $$$

This hobby would be boring without these guys. P. Cancerides, pelinubius muticus,t. Blondi,c. Darlingi , c marshalli, p. Murinus, and all haplos.the more vicious and scary the better the feeding time.
