Was gonna recommend the Xenesthis but found out it was first on the list!! I have the immanis, and it is probably my favorite T out of my collection. Seriously, get one.
Sorry but I gotta disagree with your top 3 picks 1: OBT 2: GBB 3: CarVers But that is my opinion and you know what they say about opinions . Love your content your one of the best and keep it coming .
hey brotha. I'm a big dude. and picky about shirts. I only wear 2x tall shirts because I hate the way regular shirts fit after one wash. you ever think about doing a 2x Tall shirt run ide be all over that sh**
@@whatsupchris I don't think that any tarantula that always takes a defensive posture or neurotically kicks hair often should make any recommended species list. I like the website Mike's tarantulas. Biting the hand that feeds you every chance it gets is not a positive trait for a pet. Then it becomes just a display creature.
Man I had a pink toe for about 4 years, his name was Oscar. He recently died a couple weeks ago, he was a dear friend of mine even tho he was just a spider. He wasn't just a spider. He was with me when I was in some really hard times in life and some really good times as well. He would also keep certain people away from my home because they were afraid of him lol I love and miss you little dude! And to the collective creator, thank you for making these videos 🤘🏼
MR. Bad Finger Prod. I concur, re: pinktoes,. I briefly had a Craig's list adult, adoption,. She was old used up, She lasted 2 years 90percent Always out on Display,. I would first thing come home off the road,. Stroke her from Carpace,all way down abdomen, never reacted negatively. Made me feel welcomed home to my T's and snakes.
My Phidippus regius boy Ezio was a friend to me as well. He loved to explore his spider world, always watching me back with that adorable little head tilt. When I came home and found him dead one day, I instantly knew. His eyes were so blank and dull. I loved that tiny weirdo.
I’m not a huge fan of spiders but a great tribute to your friend. Most people think they’re just animals but nothing could be farther from the truth. Big and small and in between animals are best friends.
Was my first T, and like Richard said, they never flick hair, never throw a threat pose but they have a great feeding response. Mine is 3 inches long (toe to toe) but doesn't seem to grow very much with each molt like some of my other species. She is in her third pre molt since I got her at the moment, but I am not expecting too much size increase, but I have had tiny slings of other species that are catching her up in size, and I have bought them after her. Also the first 6 months after I got her I never saw her, she just sealed off her burrow and never ate until she finally molted, but now she has stayed out all the time. Even her last molt she did on the surface.
@@walkthroughthestorm39 great! They are really pretty aren't they? Especially after a fresh molt. A real deep black that looks like velvet. Definitely one of my favourites of my fairly small collection. (11 in total) hopefully we will both have many years of pleasure keeping this species, because the lifespan is said to be as much as 30+ years in some cases. Mine may even outlive me lol! I was also lucky to have been supplied with a female which I have confirmed myself when I sex'ed the molt. It was the first and only time I have successfully confirmed the sex of an unknown T using the discarded exuvium, because my other T's are either too small, was confirmed female when I bought them or the molt gets destroyed before I can get to it.
"Dropping a like really helps the channel", say no more! This channel helped me to get rid of my fear of spiders and i actually have 2 T:s of my own now and i have learned so much from this channel! thank you sir for ur hard work. Sending love from Finland!
@@jakegraham7265 yeah …? Most of them are mailed. It’s very common and totally safe. There are special animal couriers or couriers with special animal services
To be fair, they are small only in comparison with other tarantulas. I know a ton of people, that would suffer a heart attack, if they found a common house spider the size of fully grown C. elegans.
I got a buddy looking for me a list of stuff this weekend at a show hes vending at. that is on the list no doubt. I got out of the hobby all together about 4 years back. I'm finally back in it with better job and a new house so the rebuild is in full effect
p murinus was also my first and i've had more threat postures out of my boehmei. p metallica was my second and that one also never gave me a threat posture.
@@anazolnierczyk5459 I think you've convinced me to get a P. Metallica as the second one. I also want a Goliath beetle, tho, so I'm not sure about the order. First is Lasiodora Parahybana; has a special place in my heart.
@@JayTee95 Hey, I got my P metallica as a 3/4" sling in late 2019, but it ended up being a male. Never had a threat posture out of him, not once, just a cutepie and great tarantula. He's in a 1 gallon plastic wal mart jug and close to death, would have loved to breed him. although individuals do vary but metallica is one of the tamest pokies... i think only ornata is the troublesome one.
I’ve been keeping tarantulas for a little over a year now and my first Ts were phormingochilus sp Rufus, an LP, and harpactira pulchripes. I’ve added some more to the collection and I’m addicted. My recent ones are p Metallica, p irminia, aphonopelma hentzi, and a H. Maculata. Some of them end up on the same molt schedule haha
Glad to see Cyriocosmus on here, I have four species and it's definitely my favorite genus. I'm glad I collect dwarf species. If I didn't have a theme to stick to, I'd definitely have too many!
Great video. Even as a someone just researching for a few months, I was able to anticipate a few of these being on the list! Can't wait to get my first T!
I have this Chilobrachys sp, Electric blue and I wish it would get a species name already. It has become "used" to my presence and is less skittish but still has the ability to teleport. Not counting the color it is an amazing species. Maybe it should be called the Chilobrachys teleportousus. I've seen quick movements, but this thing is beyond observation.
Damn, it's like he was eyeing my shelf for his list roflmao my favorite, again after seeing her for the first time in nearly 2 months and nearly forgetting about her, is my "plain brown" stirmi! She discarded a molt for me since I last seen her, hence why I'm calling her a her, but boy oh boy has she grown. 4" legs, 2" wide carapace. She's ginormous! And boy was she finally hungry. Hence why she's my favorite again. Feeding response on a different level!
The Cuban bronze, the green bottle blue and the Caribbean Versacolor are my two favorites based on temperment, behavior, coloring, hunting and web styles. If I ever venture beyond jumping spiders, I'll try to find one of those 😊
I seem to always come back and watch your videos. I have to say thank you, I have 17 tarantulas now. And zero losses knock on wood. My slings are all eating and doing well, and attribute that to your videos helping me overcome my fear of spiders and providing the tools I needed to be successful. My versicolor crawled on me when I was trying to re house it. And it was a cool experience to see they are just misunderstood. Super chill, unless it mistakes the paint brush for food then it’s all about bitey time lol.
I have a GBB and it is a gift anytime I can see it out of its hide. Such a beautiful animal and a great webber! Definitely want a cyriocosmus in the future. Great list!
I've been binging your videos for a little while now, and got my 1st T, a C versicolor just over a week ago. Really helped to get over my fear. Awesome videos 🙂
I have a P. Metallica and IT IS A MUST HAVE!!!! ITS STUNNING! She does hide a lot... Mine has been defensive and she's super aggressive when feeding. Also how fast they are.... they're amazing!
Thank you so much...it is difficult to get the word about youtube channels, but you watching, liking and leaving a comment helps a lot. So does sharring videos and watching more of videos back to back...seems to please the algorithm gods...lol
I do that almost constantly 😄 my son and I watch you daily to keep up with species we might be interested in. We used your advice on aborheal species and our new c versicolor couldn't be happier thanks to you. Thank you again!
Great, just the video I needed when I just bought four new T's and was already wanting more. My s.o is not enthused lol. Awesome list, I'm glad some Fossorials still got some love!
I immediately fell in love with the Colombian Lesserblack, went to look up how much a sling costs, then immediately resigned myself to maybe having a picture of one at best lol
I smile everytime I see GBBs recommended. I got one as our second 2 and while spicy, he’s so cool. Always out on top of his hide ok display, amazing feeding response, and my 4 year old has affectionately named it Spidey and says it his favorite. We also just got a large sling Versicolor and she is so incredibly adorable and docile.
I want all of them But i dont have the experience or a mom that even remotely likes spiders, so the fact that she let me get a single one is a miracle to me
sent my buddy to a show this weekend with a list. he came back with caribena versicolor lasiodora parahybana c. cyaneopibescens aphonopelma chalcodes acanthoscuria geniculata and pterinochilus murinus. only cost me 180 for all and didnt have to pay for shipping. win. and with what I previously had plus what he just snagged me ide guess I'm full blown back into the hobby!!

Long time lurker here... Love your channel, content, and videos. Have had most of these species, well, the older ones anyhow. Haven't had luck back in the day with arboreals, but, didn't have access to your channel for solid information either. Thanks for what you do! I'm hoping you will get a Nhandu coloratovillosus soon, as I'd love to see your husbandry, tips, and video work revolving around one of my top 10 T's!!
I started my hobby with the OBT. Got A LOT OF WARNING. But since I only display and treat it like a fine art piece. No touching and behind acrylic panes, it marvels me every time I look at it.
Many find brown tarantulas boring, but I personally love them. They look like chocolate spiders. Still have to decide on my very first T, there are so many incredible species.
What an awesome idea to have such a list! To me, I'd prefer the Bornean "neo blue" over the Thai "electric blue" for its hue, but the cobalt blue remains my absolute favorite fossorial species for its shades of blue & violet, as well as the attitude! The pink-foot Goliath is perhaps my second favorite terrestrial species, only after the classic Goliath birdeater. Those pink hues on the feet are ornamental.
We just picked up the Peruvian Orange Stripe. It is a sight to see! I wish I could post a picture of it. Your channel has a lot of great informational videos. TY for your content.
I just got my first T today and its a Brazilian Black. I somehow managed to make it defensive and it was super chill initially. I guess I have a lot of learning to do!
By far you produce the best tarantula videos. We are only allowed Australian tarantulas in Australia so I will likely never see these guys in the flesh. Great shots of them. Really fascinating and I love the respect you have.
I just wanted to share I got a suntiger t as a juvenile so she's a pretty decent size. Went to get crickets for her and my jumping spider and ended up getting a chaco golden knee sling. It's so tiny and cute. I can't wait till it grows up and I get to see it's colors
No Brachypelma smithi? They are so beautiful!! Somewhat a display beauty but I pick her up sometimes and she’s fine with it. Also used as spiders for horror films because of their color. Showing that it is obviously a spider with all the colors. Such a beautiful little beastie!
Okay dude. First let me just thank you for tons and tons of education with this hobby. I owe you more than you actually realize. That being said.. you have that Les Paul sitting there or what it might be I haven't tired hovering over it. Umm I started learning to play at nine. Not that far from you,if you ever need anything on the music side or just want to bend some strings,I'd be forever grateful. And lol I won't let ya down. I can jam to it all. South Central Kentucky, totally familiar with extreme eastern ky and VA. Thanks again man for what you and few others do, because if you didn't. This hobby I'm finding out wouldn't be no where near as able to do. I'm talking about the long haul,not just saying hey look at my spider.
for me a must have tarantula its the grammastola rosea, if u dont have one go and get it asap, they are docile with a rly good feed response and theyr color mixed with the hair make them beatifoul to watch
Is it silly that when you introduced the P. auratus I immediately went “That’s my baby!!!!” The P. auratus is my very first tarantula and I named it Pablo. It will be 2 years old this November.... idk if it’s a guy or girl tho :p
Love this. Getting a Caribeanus Versicolor this week. Thank you so much for all the amazing content. I'll be sporting a shirt from you as well this week!
Check out my website for Care Sheets, Pictures, Merchandise, Discount Codes, Dealers and MORE! www.thetarantulacollective.com/
Was gonna recommend the Xenesthis but found out it was first on the list!! I have the immanis, and it is probably my favorite T out of my collection. Seriously, get one.

Having to subscribe just to get feedback advice or a short answer is like a dating website app that want you to pay just to view a girl's profile.
Instructions unclear; house is now filled with incredible tarantulas and I have nowhere to sleep.
priorities set right
just jump into the enclosure of a Brachypelma or Grammostola. You'll be fine. lol
I can feel ya...
Almslslssle
... I'd be happy to help you with this problem. I have plenty of room and I'm sure we could figure something out.
Richard: you need these tarantulas!
Me: Mom Richard says I need these 10 tarantulas.

I need one too, seen them at expos a few times but they’re so expensive://
That was my first T as well.. now I have 9 different NW species and I would get another G. pulchra in a second! Gorgeous and so calm. My favourite T.
Every tarantula is a must have tarantula. gotta catch em all
A Ginger spider. LOL! I'll never forget that!
that cracked me up! I'll never see it the same way again

The Caribena versicolor is actually one of the ones I was mailed by mistake it's so nice to know they're so docile
...mailed?
@@jakegraham7265 yeah you can order spiders, fish, feeders, lizards, snakes, chickens and I’m sure much more through the mail

@@prasedomaci9264 I showed my Grandmother my collection for the first time yesterday. She does not approve.

Great choices! I personally would have P. irminia up there somewhere tho. No psalmos is a shame they’re a fantastic genus.
That's what I thought.
I definitely agree with your choices on this list, Richard! Another home run video!

Hello great video information Richard
Damn, it's like he was eyeing my shelf for his list roflmao my favorite, again after seeing her for the first time in nearly 2 months and nearly forgetting about her, is my "plain brown" stirmi! She discarded a molt for me since I last seen her, hence why I'm calling her a her, but boy oh boy has she grown. 4" legs, 2" wide carapace. She's ginormous! And boy was she finally hungry. Hence why she's my favorite again. Feeding response on a different level!
That shot of the stirmi grabbing the cricket followed by the hornworm is so great hahaha
The Cuban bronze, the green bottle blue and the Caribbean Versacolor are my two favorites based on temperment, behavior, coloring, hunting and web styles. If I ever venture beyond jumping spiders, I'll try to find one of those 😊
Every time you make a top 10 list I end up with 10 more tarantulas!
I seem to always come back and watch your videos. I have to say thank you, I have 17 tarantulas now. And zero losses knock on wood. My slings are all eating and doing well, and attribute that to your videos helping me overcome my fear of spiders and providing the tools I needed to be successful.

I've got 7 out of 10... This was een awesome video and good choice you picked... Greetings from Wales
I have a GBB and it is a gift anytime I can see it out of its hide. Such a beautiful animal and a great webber! Definitely want a cyriocosmus in the future. Great list!
i think the Psalmopeous genus should have made your list, but then again there's too much tarantulas to must have and every T is a must have...😁
I would've added Chilobrachys fimbriatus and Psalmopoeus irminia to the list. but awesome list! rocking the Tarantula Collective shirt today!
I think the irminia is arguably my favorite of the Psalmopeus species. Mine is still a sling but it loves to eat and very docile so far surprisingly.
@Stycks one of mine is docile and the other is a maniac haha
@@EightDeadlySins It's a gamble it would seem 😄
the caribena versicolor is so beautiful and i cannot wait to get one. plus we’re both Caribbean’s so we’re practically family already!

Such a stonking list! We're only just starting our collection and this video featured 8 on the want list. Not a bad result!

Awesome list, I'm glad some Fossorials still got some love!
This video started as a shopping list for me. I have finally succeeded in gathering every T on this list. And I love all of them!!!
Damn ! Never knew that the tarantula family had such strikingly beautiful spiders
P. Metallica are gorgeous but I've always wanted a p. Rufliata, those acid greens are stunning

I started my hobby with the OBT. Got A LOT OF WARNING. But since I only display and treat it like a fine art piece. No touching and behind acrylic panes, it marvels me every time I look at it.
That Cuban Bronze one looks pretty cool! Never heard of it before
Great video Richard, I couldn't argue with those choices, well done again Richard.
Many find brown tarantulas boring, but I personally love them. They look like chocolate spiders. Still have to decide on my very first T, there are so many incredible species.
What an awesome idea to have such a list! To me, I'd prefer the Bornean "neo blue" over the Thai "electric blue" for its hue, but the cobalt blue remains my absolute favorite fossorial species for its shades of blue & violet, as well as the attitude!
The pink-foot Goliath is perhaps my second favorite terrestrial species, only after the classic Goliath birdeater. Those pink hues on the feet are ornamental.
We just picked up the Peruvian Orange Stripe. It is a sight to see! I wish I could post a picture of it. Your channel has a lot of great informational videos. TY for your content.
Awesome video 🔥🔥
Ordering my first OBT in 10 days I'm excited 😊 just got myself a beautiful Cobalt Blue, and lucky for me she is pretty calm for a Cobalt.
Awesome video Richard!! 🤟 I found that most of these species are already on my list hahah!
I just got my first T today and its a Brazilian Black. I somehow managed to make it defensive and it was super chill initially. I guess I have a lot of learning to do!
By far you produce the best tarantula videos. We are only allowed Australian tarantulas in Australia so I will likely never see these guys in the flesh. Great shots of them. Really fascinating and I love the respect you have.
If your government didn’t outlaw fun and cool I would happily give you some of mine
I just wanted to share I got a suntiger t as a juvenile so she's a pretty decent size. Went to get crickets for her and my jumping spider and ended up getting a chaco golden knee sling. It's so tiny and cute. I can't wait till it grows up and I get to see it's colors
G Pulchras are awesome! Just make sure you have the patience of a statue. They take forever to get big
Great video mate brilliant selection there and yes the OBT is a STUNNER one of my faves
I had up to 20 species.
My all-time favorite for size, beauty, friendliness goes out to: Chaco Golden Knee.
Such a calm, big spider!
man i really admire your passion and love for those animals. wish you all the best
Thank you very much!
I love your channel. These are beautiful animals. I’m adding to my collection.
They are all sooo beautiful, awesome list! See you next Tuesday :)
No Brachypelma smithi? They are so beautiful!! Somewhat a display beauty but I pick her up sometimes and she’s fine with it. Also used as spiders for horror films because of their color. Showing that it is obviously a spider with all the colors. Such a beautiful little beastie!
If i ever own the #4 I would name it Goku cause the Blue and Yellow colors lol. Dope upload as usual. Salue 😎
Okay dude. First let me just thank you for tons and tons of education with this hobby. I owe you more than you actually realize. That being said.. you have that Les Paul sitting there or what it might be I haven't tired hovering over it. Umm I started learning to play at nine. Not that far from you,if you ever need anything on the music side or just want to bend some strings,I'd be forever grateful. And lol I won't let ya down. I can jam to it all. South Central Kentucky, totally familiar with extreme eastern ky and VA. Thanks again man for what you and few others do, because if you didn't. This hobby I'm finding out wouldn't be no where near as able to do. I'm talking about the long haul,not just saying hey look at my spider.
I have both the stirmi and the blondi and I love the because of how majestic they are. I have Currently 35 T's
Woah im so glad i have a sling of top 1 and top 2 of this list w my 8 slings/juvies at the moment, and 15 more colorful slings arriving next week 😄
Perfect selection 👍
for me a must have tarantula its the grammastola rosea, if u dont have one go and get it asap, they are docile with a rly good feed response and theyr color mixed with the hair make them beatifoul to watch
Great list! Someday I'll will have most of these.
Is it silly that when you introduced the P. auratus I immediately went “That’s my baby!!!!” The P. auratus is my very first tarantula and I named it Pablo. It will be 2 years old this November.... idk if it’s a guy or girl tho :p
U rock! Best wishes from Germany.
Missing a pokie and obt, pokie is next on the list!
I love them calm fluffy and dark ...
My Wishlist .... Grammostola, Avicularia, Grammostola, Avicularia 😅 , Grammostola.....
Good choice!
My OBT was my first old world and I just love when I catch a glimpse of her! Gingers for the win!💜💚
Love this. Getting a Caribeanus Versicolor this week. Thank you so much for all the amazing content. I'll be sporting a shirt from you as well this week!
5:10... hahahahahaha, that's ****ing brilliant !! LOL ! The greatest thing I've seen in any tarantula vid, period. I'm still laughing
Wow! Love them all.
