Rare Ts

I was wondering what are the most rare tarantulas in everyone’s collection? Mine is an avicularia minitrix but all my other ts are pretty common.

I was wondering what are the most rare tarantulas in everyone’s collection? Mine is an avicularia minitrix but all my other ts are pretty common.

I’ve had quite a few over the years:

Eucratoscelus pachypus
Homoeomma orellanai
Tliltocatl schroederi
Psalmopoeus langenbucheri
Harpactira dictator
Hererothele gabonensis
the former Homoeomma chilensis
The former Phrixotrichus scrofa

I think that’s all the rare species I had, that list might expand after I go to the expo on Sunday.

I think my most rarest would have to be my Birupes simoroxigorum

I think my most rare T Ornithoctoninae sp south Cotabato Lowland(ex: Mindanao South).

I Have to say
most all of mine are pretty common. I have a couple GBBs, a nice pair of P. auratus and three very nervous P. sazimai. Waiting to be rehoused from the current shoe boxes into something deeper. I have a nice C. cyaneus that's not really rare but that I like quite a lot.
I do have a (half inch and growing) H. Orellanai. A survivor. One of a group of three tiny little slings that made it.
This one seems to be doing just great! Not super rare? But valuable to me . And costly enough when I consider the cost of the group of three. My most costly thus far.
None the less probably my favorite!
Cheers

I have to say I am not 100% sure what is rare.

I have Homoeomma chilensis & Tliltocatl schroederi mentioned above. We also have Poecilotheria hanumavilasumica, which I believe is rare in the wild & a Poecilotheria metallica which I belive is the most endangered T.

I also have Chaetopelma olivaceum & Selenocosmia crassipes which are far from rare, but hardly ever mentioned within the hobby.

By rare I mean hard to find

Aphonopelma serratum in my collection. I have never seen an adult for sale.
