Which T's make a collection?

[ShellsnMargarita]

So, I only have my G.rosea at the moment. I most certainly want to get at LEAST one or two more at some point. Which Ts would you suggest? I do love a B.albopilosum or a B.smithi. I don't have a lot of room to devote to my T addiction (I literally live in a single room at the moment) so I'd need something that takes up less space.

Let me know what you suggest! I really want to grow my collection for years to come, as I'm officially hooked. It's bad enough that I had a girlfriend that wouldn't let me get a T once...needless to say, she's gone and the T is here to stay lol

Depends on what your looking for, a B. albo, or B. smithi would be a good addition.. Just really depends on what you want, and what your looking to get out of keeping T's..

B. smithi are nice, they come out pretty often, are pretty, and don't need a super large enclosure.

I'm looking for a collection that I can appreciate. I don't believe in handling my T's, but I do like to observe them. So I probably wouldn't enjoy one that hides all of the time. I was curious as to whether or not there are the "quintessential" T's that every collection should have. Sort of like a starter kit I suppose, ha. I'm sure there's plenty of personal taste tossed in there, but I'd like to stick to more traditional T's to start with. I'm not ready for anything too exotic.

I personally feel that every collection needs a GreenBottle Blue and a Red Knee.

Definitely b smithi, they are super model looks without the cocaine addiction ( am I allowed to say that. )

If you can find a G. pulchra (Brazilian Black) for sale, do NOT hesitate! Buy it! They're such pretty Ts that anyone who has them rarely lets them go.

B. smithi are also pretty and long lived if you get a female.

A couple that aren't too deffensive, but somewhat skittish, id say get an A.geniculata and an L.parahybana. Size alone makes them great display Ts and they wouldn't be to hard to care for.

G. pulchipes too!

My B. vagans has been a great T, though other brachypelmas are awesome too, and more colorful.

 

[DalilahBlue]

Oh, and just because a T is "supposed" to have a certain temperament, don't go on that alone. My Genic thinks she is a BEAST, already doing threat postures at a half inch, walking around with her butt in the air, while my Rosie is almost Zen like...

 

[DalilahBlue]

My N. chromatus has been pretty neat so far too...

A.avicularia!! Really pretty spiders and ours is very laid back (which is common in this species).

My Chaco Golden Knee is beautiful and a voracious eater!

G pulchra, hands down.

G pulchra, hands down.

HEY~! I didn't know you were on this forum!

So true. Even when told to get rid of Ts, I just couldn't get rid of my pulchra! That's just wrong!

(BTW still a toss up for me between you and Jump as to whose pulchra gets a date with my pulchra...)

Yup, and several others as well.
He will end up with me
