I've been arachnophobic my entire life but over the last year have fallen in love with tarantulas! Figure that one out?! I plan on getting my first T soon and it's going to be the green bottle blue! I just LOVE them!
I was also a severe arachnophobic until my grandson had me catch a huge wolf spider and ever since then I have fallen in love with spiders. I been keeping wolf spiders for a couple years now and finally got my first tarantula a month ago. I got a Mexican Red Knee Tarantula. I wish you all the happiness I received when I got her.
Get a NW species. Besides GBB, a Brachy, Aphonapelma or Grammostola (IOW, a "Pet Rock, or Teddy Bear T) should get you over any fear. GBB's are great, and far more interesting, but are much faster and tend to bolt. Just make sure it doesn't get away! LOL.
You seem to have been torn on a few T's, maybe you should've went with a 20 count😂. I agree with all of your selection, no necessarily in that order though. My dream T is the H Pulchripes. Tyfs God bless you
@@tarantulacollective Can you do one for pet holes; whether it be fossorial, territorial, and arboreal?? That would be nice. Or maybe one on which is more feisty (defensive not aggressive).
Heh, I've noticed my little girl hardly ever makes any lists unless it's about urdicating hairs or nervousness, but in my heart, my A. geniculata is the absolute, undisputed number one in everything... But then she's my only tarantula for now, so she has no competition.😅
Acanthoscurria geniculata! I love mine! She’s huge, always out, great feeding response and beautiful pattern. I think they would have been a good addition to the list
Thanks a lot. I certainly try. I really wanted yo elevate the tarantula niche in RUclips to the same level of other niches. But I'm starting from scratch..just getting my first dslr and editing software about a year ago and learning as I go
@@tarantulacollective If you've only being doing this for that short of a time that's amazing! Your videos on tarantulas is what motivated me to get one. I've got a Curly hair called Carlos and I'm surprised they've all got there own personalities and funny qwerks about them. Collecting tarantulas is never about not being satisfied with the previous one, it's about enjoying the different qualities they have. The hobby's relaxing and fun, reminds me to admire nature. Elevate the niche, keep up the great content!
Yes, yes I did. I noticed that late last night when I was finishing up editing and there was no time to re shoot...i almost dubbed over the audio to say boehmei, but was worried I'd just screw the whole thing up at the last minute..and it was already after 3am...lol
I would've picked the A. geniculata as number one. I have never seen an A. genic of any size use a hide or make a burrow. Mine even molt right out in the open. It's the only species I can count on to be out and about to show off to visitors, and it's always down for a feeding performance, too. (I just wish I could clean their water bowls without getting attacked, haha.) Unfortunately, my C. elegans is almost always in her burrow and doesn't like coming out. Same with my C. versicolor. :(
That is a bummer. I really missed the boat on the Acanthoscurria, mine are always out a lot. And I have SOOOOOOO much footage of them...really could've saved a lot of time shooting had I added them to the list. Lol
I have an A.geniculata that runs for his hide any time you get close to the habitat. He's a bit of a weird on though. First 3 months I had him he wouldn't eat live prey, was terrified if it moved and would run laps trying to get away from it
yep thats what I thought too my AG is always sitting out and so beautiful one of my first spiders I got and still totally one of my favourites. she liked to burrow and hide as a sling/juvie ofc but after about 10cm wide she never went underground again and very highly feratious too I have to be careful not to overfeed her bcus she is a little piglet and will always always eat and she did get super fat a couple of moults ago 🐖🐖😂
came to the comments to say A.geniculata. Looks fantastic, impressive size and mine is super curious, always calmly comes to the front of it's tank to watch people watching it which is a bit of crowd pleaser for those who are curious about them. Absolutely a pleasure to own, even when it goes mental over it's dinner, chews up everything I put in the tank and fights me for the water bowl.
OMG...my Salmon got here today along with 4 others ... What have you done to me, Richard, you Deadly Tarantula Girl, Petko, Kat, Tom Moran, Dan, Spiderman, Tarantula Haven yeah...I'm RuInT LOL I Love it
I got a Grammostola Pulchra like a year ago (as Sling), he's like "f*ck you don't look at me!" everytime hiding... Hopefully it changes when he gets older.
Im a newbee only started this month and bought 3 sling a chaco golden knee, mexican fireleg, salmon pink birdeater and a 3 inches OBT so happy 3 of them is in this video but the OBT 😊. Please keep inspiring love your videos
Honestly, as someone who wants to get into T collecting in the future at some point, your channel has helped me a shit ton, especially these lists going over T's that may be good for beginners, good for handling or good display ones, they all genuinely help a lot. As a plus they're tidy and give explanations on the T's that may interest me or other viewers and hey, as another plus your video quality is crisp and very pleasing to the eye, so it makes it an absolute joy to watch your videos. So, thank you for having such a cool and rather underrated channel dude keep it up!
I know you had a lot of Brachypelmas on the list but I would've loved the see B. Albopilosum. They're just the biggest, fluffiest ts and look so damn pretty.
I know I thought the same!!!! Mine is out 100% of the time now that she's an adult, and just so fluffy! I love too she has a rose gold sheen on those hairs too
My adult T. albo is a great display fuzzball. she'll even just fold her legs in trying to be small out in the open, won't use a hide. definitely a great conversation piece
My girl Nefertiti a curly hair is out of the time.absolutely love her.also my bolt,my pink toe.planning on getting the carribena versicolor eventually and a Arizona Blonde
Love to get a carribena versicolor. Not sure how hard it will be to find one..im surprised you didn't meantion a OBT.i know its a old world and very defensive and aggressive but It's orange color is beautiful. Love to get a Arizona Blonde and a Brazilian Black Pulchra and a Green Bottle Blue Im surprised you didn't meantion a Blue Fang.
A. geniculata, as mentioned, might be one I'd pick over a grammastola, but that's a personal preference. They're both very revered in the hobby. I think pink zebra beauties would be an honorable mention as well. I knew T. Stirmi would take the cake at #1, once you really get a good look at them and a beautiful set up they almost look like they're covered in velvet or suede. It's breathtaking.
I have found my communal group usually spend most of their time in their burrows during the day. They usually only roam only in the middle of the night.
I was surprised with #7. Of course we have tarantulas here in the Philippines, why wouldn't there be? Now I can't stop thinking about it. 😨 Phobia aside, I hope hobbyists who love these animals could help with preserving some of the species that are vulnerable or endangered in the wild. Most countries, including the Philippines, don't exactly have ample time and budget for wildlife preservation so maybe the passionate people with the means can provide help with the solution. Cool of you to shout out your Filipino viewers 🇵🇭. Great job on this video and thank you for the great content!
Thanks! I did one last year, but it is probably high time to do a follow up. You can the last collection tour here: ruclips.net/p/PLjBrtja7Q8uhkqOC0G9HTMYJI3Rz4tMkt
Amazing video ! You convinced me, I'm gonna get into the hobby and I think I'm gonna start with a Mexican red knee as my first T ! I also have an additional glass enclosure with more height than width, what easy T for beginners would you guys recommend me for that kind of enclosure ? :)
I would go for an Aphonopelma or Grammostola T...would be great since you're getting a Brachypelma genus already. Check out the Aphonopelma chalcodes or Grammostola pulchra or pulchripes
Out of the top ten, I have five and today we just got our second juvenile B. Hamorii, but I think she might be a smithi! Looking at the two side by side, there are definite differences. Poor thing was not properly cared for. She looked stressed but is now very comfortable and at only 2.5 inches, she's already a gorgeous display T! Thank you, Richard. I love your channel.
My favorite thing to do with these top 10 videos is listen to the facts about the tarantula and try to guess which one your talking about before you say it. I really enjoy these videos
Great video and I realize this is a opinion too 10. But I don't think I would have chosen your number 1. IMO I don't think the T. blondi is at all pretty. Yes it's has a huge size but for me colors are more impressive than size. My number 1 would probably be Aphonopelma mooreae.
It’s probably better than in person, since we’d need magnifying glasses to see so much detail in person. But I’d like to see them in person because I want to hold some of the friendly ones. 😆
Not saying these are all good displays, but from my own collection of 15 Most Visible: 1. Tapinauchenius violaceus 2. Psalmopoeus cambridgei 3. Brachypelma emilia Pet holes: 1. Orphnaecus phillippinus / Ephebopus murinus 2. Monocentropus balfouri 3. Pterinopelma sazimai 50/50 1. Holothele longipes 2. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens 3. Harpactira pulchripes / Hapolopus sp. Colombia
I Have a Mature Male A. Geniculata and I Think It's Gorgeous! I Like The M. Balfouri Aswell For "Display T's" but I Don't Think It Likes Being On Display.
Cool vid, keep it like that. But what about M.Balfouri? Mine is out a lot... :) Tiger Rump A.Geniculata N.Chromatus OBT P.Sazimai (Heard they can be out a lot, but i don't own one) Just my opinion, but if u look like that, every T is pretty somehow. Every1 are gonna choose something diffrent, bcs tastes are like a "butt" everyone has it. :) So, i just wanted to say, he said like 10 times it's his list. Sooo :) Enjoy in a vid, and don't be dissapointed. If ur favorite T isn't on his list, she will be on yours! 😎
Chromatopelma was my first T along with B. Vagans. Later I got myself a Phormictopus Sp. Green Gold Carapace instead of P. Auratus. Golden spiders have this "something" that makes them interesting. As for Lasiodora - I prefer Klugi over Parahybana.
I am all about display tarantulas. I love Tarantulas and by golly I want everyone that visits my house to enjoy the beauty of this spider too . So I try to buy the ones that are noted for NOT being pet holes. I don’t want people to think I’m some crazy guy who collects dirt. I love the Brachypelmas. Glad they made the list 😁 thanks Richard!
Even if Ts do go down into their burrows it will also be because they are getting ready to molt and they need to have privacy and safety. My Curly Hair used to be more out and about and very active, but now she's in her cork bark cabin(aka hide, cave) and she's closed up shop lol. its clear she is preparing for her premolt. I been learning about the premolt signs from FB T groups and of course through youtube channels on T husbandry. So the only time she will hide is when she has a premolt coming up and wants some privacy. Thats my girl! :) doing what Ts do best. And before then, using macro lens on my iphone to take some photos of her is absolute amazing!! Curlys have got gorgeous fine hairs that make macro lens soo fun to have and use! All the details are awesome! So when out and about, Curlys are my top fav display buddy :))
Great vid! Also, all five of my T‘s were on this list or mentioned, haha. I remember watching this and other vids to help me decide which ones to get, wonder who had the biggest influence... in the end I got a GBB, Salmon Pink (LP), Hamorii/smithi?, Caribena versicolor and (didnt make the list, but was mentioned) G.rosea, all as little slings. Very happy with them and your videos are a really great place to come to for good structured information. the 2 different people I bought my Ts from also recommended your channel. We’re from Germany! And lots of people here are still not really into english speaking channels, so that says something as well!
Wow....it still blows my mind when I hear about people watching these videos around the world. That's so cool people in Germany recommend my channel...I hope my content didnt disappoint. I've had some of my videos translated with Spanish subtitles...maybe inwill have to look into finding someone that translate some German subtitles.
For me personally, I'd have to add my white knee and possibly my tiger rump. Since her last molt, my tiger rump is a lot less skittish and out around 80% of the time.
D pentaloris? Mine spends a lot of time burrowing. By far my messiest T. Skittish as all hell, too. How big was yours when it stopped being super skittish?
I prefer Chile Rose to Chaco Gold Knee. I was surprised to see Salmon Pink on there. I've only had 22 tarantulas but Salmon Pink has been my least favourite. It has a crappy personality. P Regalis and H Mac were my favourites.
People will comment for one T over another, but really was just a good overall opinion based vid. Enjoyed! I like the brachypelma emilia over the Smithi personally.
Do you think that Lasiodora Parahybana and Acanthoscurria Geniculata are good species to be kept in bioactive and planted terrariums with a high humidity level similar to dart frog terrariums?
My g pulchra is out more than any other T. She is always walking around and when I open the enclosure she just slowly walks over towards the open door but never bolts. If I touch anything near her. Like taking out her water dish she will reach out her front legs so gently and just touches my hand or finger. She's never kicked hairs and I've had her since she was a 1/2in sling. Her name is Cujo.
If you live close to your shipping address I have passed by you a billion times. Lol. I go from Indy to Harrisburg PA a lot because of family and I drive right by ya!
This was good but tbh I prefer the purple pink toe or Ecuadorian purple arboreal Avics cuz they’re just STUNNING and they’re out just as much as the Versicolor 💜
Wondering if anyone can help, looking into possibly getting a terrantula, but can't find anything online on what to do with the crickets if your terrantula refuses to eat, I know to remove them after so long to prevent harm to your spider, but what are you meant to do with the cricket? Sorry if this seems a silly question. 😬
sad tho that Euathlus may not ever be wide spread again in the hobby because of Chile closing the door to animal export. I would've recommended E. scrofa as a bright metallic copper color and overall always out. Maybe some can be found in Argentina...
Amazing video!! I was thinking about doing a video like this on my channel, not sure I need to now as most of my top 10 are the same as what you picked. So glad you included the LP. I think that's is massively underrated in the hobby.
Thanks a lot Al...you should still do the video..I'd be interested to see your take. There are a few Ts I am already regretting not having put on the list ...lol
@@tarantulacollective I think I will, where do you get the inspiration for your videos? As I keep getting a block and don't want to churn out the same old videos.
Honestly, I get ideas from the questions people ask me or that I see people asking in different Facebook groups and on reddit. I figure if more than one person is asking the question, it would probably make a good video bc there is probably a lot more out there curious about the topic.
Im a newbie in the hobby from the philippines and have some t's like the golden knee, albo hondu, but i have this one tarantula which is a burrower that is always out and keeps on waving at me no matter if it is night time or daytime.. My davus pentaloris.. Soo beautiful and vibrant, those black and orangey tiger stripes are amusing, a little bit skittish but a monster when it comes to feeding..
Oh man i cant wait to see the rest of the comments for this video. So for me i personally think the avicularia minitrix is top notch. The reds and the pinks are truly amazing looking together...just my opinion though.
A friend of mine hadn't seen his in months, so he decides to poke a wooden ruler down her burrow not a paint brush or tongues a nice wide flat ruler 🤦♂️she shot up it and bit him, he spent the next 24hr with his arm all buckled up with cramps which has earned him his nick name crack head 😂🤣😂🤣
Your content is great. Notes for anyone. Avics are easy to kill as slings. They just drop dead for no reason. Also Chaco Gold Knee is a bit mardy. Mine runs off from it's crickets. I don't like my Salmon Pink. Not at all chilled. Aggressive, charges at me, hair flicks habitually. A bit annoying. Indian Ornamentals I had were always out and stunning. My favourite T. Chile Rose are hugely underated. Great behavioural changes. Loads of fun and the rose colour hair on its head looks great. Always on display.
Curly hair should be on here defo, and gamma Rosie, these might be boring looking but these guys are always out. On a happy note I will agree that number one t stirmi is amazing to watch my female is always out looking for food and just sitting there, it’s funny how big they are, size to speed of the spider is just funny, t stirmi the road runner 🏃♀️ just want to make a video of the stirmi running with a f1 sound to it 😹

Great Tuesday video 😆🍻
I own a G. Pulchripes and it’s honestly one of my favourite tarantulas I own
This video was so well done
Acanthoscurria Geniculata is my #1 list
What on earth?!?! No mention of the Avicularia Avicularia!! Pink, blue, green, and always out for display on their funnel web?! Ya nuts.

I have done that myself before...lol. I feel your pain.

Tarantula Collective: "I just wanna collect 'em all."
My nerd self: "POKEMON! GOTTA CATCH 'EM ALL!"
I said the same thing 😂😂😂
NERDS REJOICE
I would add Aphonopelma Chalchodes, they're a gorgeous color and they chill outside most of the time.
I have to agree
I have one and you're right! Its always out!
that awkward moment when you live in philippines but don’t own a philippine tangerine t.
Hell yeah 😂😂
Acanthoscurria geniculata! I love mine! She’s huge, always out, great feeding response and beautiful pattern. I think they would have been a good addition to the list
I love my little juvenile genic! I even named her black beauty!
Agreed mine is also like yours
I expected it to be on the list to be honest. It's a large, impressive species and mine is always out and about or doing something.
I agree. Also N.Chromatus
Shout out to filipino keepers who cant get their hands on the philippine tangerine for their collection😂
Sa murcia neg.occ yan makikita boss..pinagbabawal na manghuli ngayon nyan
I know right .... Iiterally live a few miles but cant get any
Now a top ten list "10 most beautyful T´s you never see"...
Great idea! I'm on it
Is it bc they either web heavy or are bulldozers?

Absolutely a pleasure to own, even when it goes mental over it's dinner, chews up everything I put in the tank and fights me for the water bowl.
A. Geniculata should have had a spot for sure. Am I the only one that let's my spooders out for strolls outside of their enclosure?
Barbara van Eldijk Bouwens not to mention that they have a black hole for a stomach.
My OBT allways hides? Ive had several of them and still have 3 atm. No display specie
No such thing as too many grammostolas. This genus probably the best combination of least fuss + most viewing.

watching all the way from the Philippines. I wish i had a Philippine Tangerine T.
Go get one, my son came home from school with one, him and his ate built an enclosure for it now it's in our living room lol
@@ethanmccormack9561 i don't know where to get it.
Me too bro haha🇵🇭
Does anyone here knows where to get that T?
That one is one of my brother's first tarantulas
Im from the philippines,thanks for the shout out to all filipino tarantula keeper,😊😊,,
You should do a complete collection show of your collection which seems to be epic and you are displaying them very nicely.
Thanks! I did one last year, but it is probably high time to do a follow up.
You can the last collection tour here: ruclips.net/p/PLjBrtja7Q8uhkqOC0G9HTMYJI3Rz4tMkt
My P Canceredes is out of its burrow most of the time and that thing never stops eating,it's just a sling though.
Awsome
Thanks!
Can you do a video in the costa rican zebra or striped knee tarantula?
I thought the Acanthoscurria geniculata was going to be #1 as you was building up
You're not the only one! Seems a lot of people were feeling that one. LoL
Awesome video.. im from the philippines.. also a member of your facebook group.. Hello to you!
Hello!
Kamusta!
Philippines represents! Philippine Tangerine Tarantula ❤️
clicking that thumbs up because of the shoutout to ph hahhaahaha
anyone else think of LOTR with the new intro? No? just me? lol It's awesome!
I thought it had a very Harry Potter vibe
It was decidedly EPIC lol
I was thinking final fantasy 8
LOTR??
@@fern_gully lord of the rings!
Amazing video !
You convinced me, I'm gonna get into the hobby and I think I'm gonna start with a Mexican red knee as my first T !
I also have an additional glass enclosure with more height than width, what easy T for beginners would you guys recommend me for that kind of enclosure ? :)
I would go for an Aphonopelma or Grammostola T...would be great since you're getting a Brachypelma genus already. Check out the Aphonopelma chalcodes or Grammostola pulchra or pulchripes
Awww i was expecting to see Acanthoscurria geniculata in the list
That species and the Nhandu were on the short list, but I ended up not putting them on the final cut.
Love your video cuz it will be informational so yhea bean waiting for a video
He really does an amazing job with these huh? I always love when I see these notifications.
watching here from philippines, Thank you for adding Phil. tangerine on your list. 😊
My pleasure!!
Nakaka proud diba 😊
Out of the top ten, I have five and today we just got our second juvenile B. Hamorii, but I think she might be a smithi! Looking at the two side by side, there are definite differences. Poor thing was not properly cared for. She looked stressed but is now very comfortable and at only 2.5 inches, she's already a gorgeous display T! Thank you, Richard. I love your channel.
Thank you! And thank you so much for watching!
Brachypelma albopilosum?
I love your videos
Both entertaining and informal
Plz keep uploading! XD
My favorite thing to do with these top 10 videos is listen to the facts about the tarantula and try to guess which one your talking about before you say it. I really enjoy these videos
I am so happy that you said green bottle blue was number 2! I'm getting that little guy. So beautiful.
Great video and I realize this is a opinion too 10. But I don't think I would have chosen your number 1. IMO I don't think the T. blondi is at all pretty. Yes it's has a huge size but for me colors are more impressive than size.
My number 1 would probably be Aphonopelma mooreae.
Nice choice!
My first tarantula has salmon pink now i got Brachypelma hamorii (red knee)
Brachypelma albopilosum (Nicaragua)
Nhandu chromatus (brazillian red and white)
Caribena versicolor(Martinique PinkToe )
Brachypelma albopilosum (curly hair)
Brachypelma boehmei (fireleg)
Acanthoscurria geniculata (giant white knee)
Pterinochilus murinus Usambara (OBT)
Thank you Sir for picking our local Sp. Tarantula for the Top10 Display T..
Orphanaecus Philippinus
-Subs from PH
This footage is incredible. I’m sure the videos doesn’t beat seeing these creatures in person.
It’s probably better than in person, since we’d need magnifying glasses to see so much detail in person. But I’d like to see them in person because I want to hold some of the friendly ones. 😆
Not saying these are all good displays, but from my own collection of 15
Most Visible:
1. Tapinauchenius violaceus
2. Psalmopoeus cambridgei
3. Brachypelma emilia
Pet holes:
1. Orphnaecus phillippinus / Ephebopus murinus
2. Monocentropus balfouri
3. Pterinopelma sazimai
50/50
1. Holothele longipes
2. Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens
3. Harpactira pulchripes / Hapolopus sp. Colombia
This explains my Arizona and pink toe are always out and they have corks and all kind of hiding places Cuban bronze i is super cool 😎
I Have a Mature Male A. Geniculata and I Think It's Gorgeous! I Like The M. Balfouri Aswell For "Display T's" but I Don't Think It Likes Being On Display.
My Mexican Red Rump is out all the time and beautiful
T.Y. for your shoutouts im from Philippines bro... Love your channel
Awesome vid as always! 🕷💙👌🏼
Thanks so much!
Cool vid, keep it like that. But what about M.Balfouri? Mine is out a lot... :)
Tiger Rump
A.Geniculata
N.Chromatus
OBT
P.Sazimai (Heard they can be out a lot, but i don't own one)
Just my opinion, but if u look like that, every T is pretty somehow. Every1 are gonna choose something diffrent, bcs tastes are like a "butt" everyone has it. :) So, i just wanted to say, he said like 10 times it's his list. Sooo :) Enjoy in a vid, and don't be dissapointed. If ur favorite T isn't on his list, she will be on yours! 😎
Chromatopelma was my first T along with B. Vagans.
Later I got myself a Phormictopus Sp. Green Gold Carapace instead of P. Auratus. Golden spiders have this "something" that makes them interesting.
As for Lasiodora - I prefer Klugi over Parahybana.
I was lucky enough to get a burgundy goliath Bird Eater today. So damn happy. 4th T. She'll be spoiled since it isn't my first Chilean Rosea.
I am all about display tarantulas. I love Tarantulas and by golly I want everyone that visits my house to enjoy the beauty of this spider too . So I try to buy the ones that are noted for NOT being pet holes. I don’t want people to think I’m some crazy guy who collects dirt. I love the Brachypelmas. Glad they made the list 😁 thanks Richard!
LoL...are you calling me crazy? I have a lot of enclosures that appear to just be dirt with a hole. .lol
Even if Ts do go down into their burrows it will also be because they are getting ready to molt and they need to have privacy and safety. My Curly Hair used to be more out and about and very active, but now she's in her cork bark cabin(aka hide, cave) and she's closed up shop lol. its clear she is preparing for her premolt. I been learning about the premolt signs from FB T groups and of course through youtube channels on T husbandry. So the only time she will hide is when she has a premolt coming up and wants some privacy. Thats my girl! :) doing what Ts do best. And before then, using macro lens on my iphone to take some photos of her is absolute amazing!! Curlys have got gorgeous fine hairs that make macro lens soo fun to have and use! All the details are awesome! So when out and about, Curlys are my top fav display buddy :))
No.7 is ❤ PROUD TO BE FILIPINO!
THANKYOU FOR SHARING THIS VIDEO
THIS IS VERY INFORMATIVE
#TARANTULA COLLECTIVE
Great vid! Also, all five of my T‘s were on this list or mentioned, haha. I remember watching this and other vids to help me decide which ones to get, wonder who had the biggest influence... in the end I got a GBB, Salmon Pink (LP), Hamorii/smithi?, Caribena versicolor and (didnt make the list, but was mentioned) G.rosea, all as little slings. Very happy with them and your videos are a really great place to come to for good structured information. the 2 different people I bought my Ts from also recommended your channel. We’re from Germany! And lots of people here are still not really into english speaking channels, so that says something as well!
Wow....it still blows my mind when I hear about people watching these videos around the world. That's so cool people in Germany recommend my channel...I hope my content didnt disappoint. I've had some of my videos translated with Spanish subtitles...maybe inwill have to look into finding someone that translate some German subtitles.
My top ten
1 Gbb
2 pumpkin patch
3 tiger rump
4 carbiana versicolor
5 nhandu tripepii
6 aphonopelma chalcodes
7 b hamorii
8 brachypelma alcoholism
9 a seemanni
10 nhandu chromatus
For me personally, I'd have to add my white knee and possibly my tiger rump. Since her last molt, my tiger rump is a lot less skittish and out around 80% of the time.
D pentaloris? Mine spends a lot of time burrowing. By far my messiest T. Skittish as all hell, too. How big was yours when it stopped being super skittish?
I prefer Chile Rose to Chaco Gold Knee. I was surprised to see Salmon Pink on there. I've only had 22 tarantulas but Salmon Pink has been my least favourite. It has a crappy personality. P Regalis and H Mac were my favourites.
A. genic and E. campestratus should've been on the list.
People will comment for one T over another, but really was just a good overall opinion based vid. Enjoyed! I like the brachypelma emilia over the Smithi personally.
Do you think that Lasiodora Parahybana and Acanthoscurria Geniculata are good species to be kept in bioactive and planted terrariums with a high humidity level similar to dart frog terrariums?
My g pulchra is out more than any other T. She is always walking around and when I open the enclosure she just slowly walks over towards the open door but never bolts. If I touch anything near her. Like taking out her water dish she will reach out her front legs so gently and just touches my hand or finger. She's never kicked hairs and I've had her since she was a 1/2in sling. Her name is Cujo.
Love that the GBB took second place! It is my favorite of my collection!
If you live close to your shipping address I have passed by you a billion times. Lol. I go from Indy to Harrisburg PA a lot because of family and I drive right by ya!
This was good but tbh I prefer the purple pink toe or Ecuadorian purple arboreal Avics cuz they’re just STUNNING and they’re out just as much as the Versicolor 💜
Wondering if anyone can help, looking into possibly getting a terrantula, but can't find anything online on what to do with the crickets if your terrantula refuses to eat, I know to remove them after so long to prevent harm to your spider, but what are you meant to do with the cricket? Sorry if this seems a silly question. 😬
Eauthlus manicata is my pick!
I now have a new species to look at!
sad tho that Euathlus may not ever be wide spread again in the hobby because of Chile closing the door to animal export. I would've recommended E. scrofa as a bright metallic copper color and overall always out. Maybe some can be found in Argentina...
Love your list❤️💜 Shoutout from Philippines🇵🇭
Amazing video!! I was thinking about doing a video like this on my channel, not sure I need to now as most of my top 10 are the same as what you picked. So glad you included the LP. I think that's is massively underrated in the hobby.
Thanks a lot Al...you should still do the video..I'd be interested to see your take. There are a few Ts I am already regretting not having put on the list ...lol
@@tarantulacollective I think I will, where do you get the inspiration for your videos? As I keep getting a block and don't want to churn out the same old videos.
Honestly, I get ideas from the questions people ask me or that I see people asking in different Facebook groups and on reddit. I figure if more than one person is asking the question, it would probably make a good video bc there is probably a lot more out there curious about the topic.
@@tarantulacollective I never thought of looking at what people were asking on FB or Reddit. Could be a good way to get inspiration. Many thanks
Im a newbie in the hobby from the philippines and have some t's like the golden knee, albo hondu, but i have this one tarantula which is a burrower that is always out and keeps on waving at me no matter if it is night time or daytime.. My davus pentaloris.. Soo beautiful and vibrant, those black and orangey tiger stripes are amusing, a little bit skittish but a monster when it comes to feeding..
Oh man i cant wait to see the rest of the comments for this video. So for me i personally think the avicularia minitrix is top notch. The reds and the pinks are truly amazing looking together...just my opinion though.
Oh man! Great point! Totally overlooked that beauty!
Its easy to do because its a dwarf lol.
@@nicksmith5387 lol
Hey richard , are you going to be trying petko's hot sauce feeding challenge? I rather enjoyed watching , and what a cool idea.
A geniculata didn't make it!?! UNNACCEPTABLE!!!
Why no C. Lividus I thought people love staring at holes.
A friend of mine hadn't seen his in months, so he decides to poke a wooden ruler down her burrow not a paint brush or tongues a nice wide flat ruler 🤦♂️she shot up it and bit him, he spent the next 24hr with his arm all buckled up with cramps which has earned him his nick name crack head 😂🤣😂🤣
@@ROBERTSMITH-io7tb Lol with mine I never and I mean NEVER poke her with anything without something blocking her path for that reason exactly.
haha I had a pet hole. most I regularly saw mine was just a couple blue legs. very rare to see the whole spider
How bout junodi golden baboon?it is also beutiful like obt because of its shiny golden color when freshly molted🥰
OBT sure top this one color itself nothing compares offensive and defensive hahaha
Your content is great.
Notes for anyone.
Avics are easy to kill as slings. They just drop dead for no reason.
Also Chaco Gold Knee is a bit mardy. Mine runs off from it's crickets.
I don't like my Salmon Pink. Not at all chilled. Aggressive, charges at me, hair flicks habitually. A bit annoying.
Indian Ornamentals I had were always out and stunning. My favourite T.
Chile Rose are hugely underated. Great behavioural changes. Loads of fun and the rose colour hair on its head looks great. Always on display.
Yeahhhhhh man!!! I called it from the start. Just sheer size is a winner 👍🏻 too man
What the name of the tarantula that's on the thumbnail of the video?!?! It's so pretty
Curly hair should be on here defo, and gamma Rosie, these might be boring looking but these guys are always out. On a happy note I will agree that number one t stirmi is amazing to watch my female is always out looking for food and just sitting there, it’s funny how big they are, size to speed of the spider is just funny, t stirmi the road runner 🏃♀️ just want to make a video of the stirmi running with a f1 sound to it 😹
