What do you think the most underrated T species is?

What do you think the most underrated tarantula species is? I think it’s probably the curly hair, specifally the Honduran form. What about you guys?

B. albopilosum regardless of variant

B. albopilosum regardless of variant

C. Cyaneopubescens, C. Versicolor, P. Cancerides

B. Albo is a terrific spider but idk if it's under rated. Most people seem to agree they're a top tier spider in their class

 

[spodermin]

And actually T. Stirmi is ridiculously under rated also. Every species of poecilotheria also lmao

 

[Rs50matt]

I wouldn't say stirmi is underrated as it's concidered a "must have" for a collection.

I would say maybe Grammostola Pulchripes or Iheringi / Actaeon

I think a lot of the "beginner species" are underrated as people like to think they're a gateway to the "better old world Ts"

Stirmi is considered a "must have" by many people who have one but not many people actually go out and get one unless they are very serious collectors. Also the husbandry is made out to be some everest task when really if you keep them on moist substrate with springtails theyre the same as every other spider. The definition of under rated.

I also think grammostola anything is the most over rated genus of all time myself

 

[ilovebrachys]

I think an awful lot of Brachypelmas and Grammastolas are over looked but are amongst some of the most beautiful out there looks wise you cant beat a B.Hamorii and a G.pulchra for being damn right gorgeous although B.Hamorii's are one of the most recognizable in the hobby they are often overlooked as seen as beginner's Ts and commonly available -every T keeper should have one!

 

[Enn49]

I'd go with the B. Albo. I would never have bought one, boring brown T, until I got one as a freebie and immediately fell in love with their great characters

It's the most popular...everyone's got one or four.

 

[nedaK]

Poecilotheria metallica lol

 

[Arachnoclown]

Brachypelma Sabulosum I feel is the most underrated. They are the fastest growing Brachypelma redrump but everyone chooses the slow growing vagans over them. I've always been puzzled why they aren't more popular...I cant even give them away. Sling, juvenile, sub adult, mature female.

I’m looking into them, I may get a sling but I really want an albiceps. The sabulosum is way cheaper though...
I’ve always heard vagans are fast growing for brachys though.

I think this could be the most underrated...

These are the same age...I pulled the sacks about one week apart. This is at one year old... Sabulosum on the left vagans on the right.

Another on my list of underrated Ts has to be the dwarf Plesiopelma longisternale (adult body length of just 1") which has taken me 4 years to find. It's an adorable little T, does nothing in a hurry except eating and is always visible.

 

[PanzoN88]

C. Cyaneopubescens, C. Versicolor, P. Cancerides

B. Albo is a terrific spider but idk if it's under rated. Most people seem to agree they're a top tier spider in their class

You'd be amazed

If I had a dollar for every time I read posts stating B. albopilosum were boring, I would have a lot of dollars.

G. Pulchripes
G. Porteri
C. Huahini

Not pulchripes, the Rose is underrated kind of, but idk too many people who have huahini, so sure I guess

Not sure many have even heard of C. huahini as of now.
