Your opinion: the most beautiful T species?

A baby C. cyan. has beautiful gold and orange colours.

H. Maculata, P. Ornata, P. subfusca, P. sazimai, heck, can't go wrong with those Xenesthis species; they're beautiful.

I mean, T. seladonia is the supermodel of the tarantula world, with C. versicolor being like... a regular model? I am a fan of any blue or unusually bright tarantula TBH.

That said, I saw an A. chalcodes in person for the first time a couple months ago and was completely stunned, it looked like some very expensive cashmere.

Officially, I'd say my top 3 are:

T. seladonia because I'm basic
H. chilensis because I can't handle the cute
A. chalcodes because of it's unexpected beauty

Sorry you didn't make the list Spinelli and Mittens, but I love you very much and wouldn't go out of my way to the cricket store if I didn't

I actually totally agree with you.

T. Seladonia is utterly gorgeous.

I would love to own one, but they are so rare... and pricey!!!!

I knowwwww. I'm just waiting to pounce on an H. chilensis, they're (slightly) more affordable and just so freakin' cute.

I saw a sling for sale once... £240 (300 USD)

I mean, if you have the money to spare it's a no-brainer!!!

Unfortauntely, I don't

It's my dream to own one

$300 for a T. seladonia is actually "cheap" these days. I've been seeing them go for over $500, soooooo I guess I can admire them from afar unless I win the lottery. At least some of the the more common ones are pretty cool (I'd totally go for a G. pulchipes, A. chalcodes, or a curly hair)

Yep, has been for a while. Was a grape when I received her and still hasn't popped!

It doesn't have to be a species you own.

First off, I have to say that I agree with a lot of what others have posted already but I want to point to ones not mentioned.

1. The Neoholothele incei (Trinidad Olive - Gold) is a beautiful T. I love the color contrasts and patterning, not to mention the crazy webbing.

2. Most Ts. It amazes me that many have the most amazing colors on the underside of their feet/legs where you don't even get to see it. This is possibly why I love my arboreal Ts so much. I actually get to see their flashes of iridescent coloring as they climb around their enclosures. You would think that more women would love Ts for this feature alone, right? Ladies, think 4 pairs of flashy shoes! ;-)

3. Although I don't yet own one, I have always looked twice, even three times at the Euathlus truculentus (Chilean Flame). I love that there are both red and yellow variants. Those colors look as if they were just brushed on with a paintbrush against the dark black... They're a show stopper in my mind.

What is the relationship between Euathtlus truculentus and Homoeomma chilensis (formerly grouped with Euathlus)? I’ve heard of H. chilensis referred to as a Chilean dwarf flame - is the E. truculentus a “full size” T? I had been under the impression that Euathlus was a dwarf genus but I could be wrong.

I am no expert on this stuff as I am new to the hobby but according to this site...
(https://davethebugguy.org/2016/02/1...hlus is made up of,species are a bit skittish.)
they are essentially one in the same. Scientific name re-name/classification but yes, they are both dwarf Ts as I understand it.
