“Display” Ts?

[beebhabie]

Hey guys
I’m just wondering what in your opinion is your best “display” T? Meaning, never or rarely burrows and is usually visible and out and about when you go to check on it, plus is also just plain beautiful to look at? Not worrying about handle-ability

Most Brachyperlma, Tlitocatl and Grammostola will be out "on display, as adults, but so is Lasiodora parahyban

How about Brachyperlma hamorii? The "classic" hobby tarantula

One to avoid if you want a display T is the beautiful Nhandu tripepii. Ours was in an enclosure that was in full view & it was always out on show, but something felt wrong, so I moved it to a more shaded, less stimulating area & it remains on show, but has become much less nervy, when being fed etc.

I am with octanejunkie the hamorii is a stunning T & the Lasiodora parahybana (commonly just referred to as the LP) is a great T, to own too. The LP's. Are huge, they normally grow fairly quickly & make very impressive T's.

My hamorii.

That honor would either go to both of my T. albopilosus or G. pulchripes. You would think the P. cancerides would be up there, but I rarely see mine.

Acanthoscurria geniculata.
Beautiful T, always out, ferocious eater.

Another vote for the classic B. harmorii. Always out and about and such a pleasure to watch, especially right after a molt with those bright colors

I'll up the Brachypelma hamorii to a Brachypelma smithi...more vibrant colors and considerably larger.
