  • In this video I cover the Top 10 Best Display Tarantulas in the hobby, at least in my opinion. I count down my top picks based on how often the tarantula is out of its burrow in the open, looks, webbing, attitude, feeding response, etc. Who will make the cut? The Brachypelma vagans? Poecilotheria metallica? Aphonopelma chalcodes? Theraphosa stirmi? Acanthascuria geniculata? Grammastola rosea? 🖖💚🕷

      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.

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!

    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!

    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.

      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 :))

      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.

    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. :(

      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

    @akimsolovyov318 4 роки тому +2

    Thank you for great content, Richard. Instant like as always :) As for me, my number one display tarantula is G. pulchra. I've raised one from the L1 sling to adult and had it for about 8 years till it sadly died and now have another juvenile female in my collection which I looked for months to buy. From my experience, this is the most active and fun to watch T, when they get to the decent size they just become digging machines, constantly rearranging terrain and doing the spider stuff while staying in the open and the velvet black color and thickness, you just can't go wrong with them. I can understand why you choose G. pulchripes, it was my first tarantula and it's great in many ways, but I'll go for G. pulchra, it just has a special place in my heart.

    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!

    Hi Richard, I'm brand new to keeping tarantulas, I kind of followed my wife into the hobby as my preference had been for snakes, with a particular love of Royal Pythons. I love your videos and the community you have created especially your Facebook page where I have had some excellent advice. I currently have a Psalmopoeus irminia sub-adult female and a sling Tliitocatyl albopilosus. I just wanted to thank you for the videos because they have already taught me so much and I'm really looking forward to learning more.
