Top 10 BEST Display Tarantulas! Show Off YOUR Spiders

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? 🖖💚🕷

[@trinitydraco1]

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!

[@kathiehoskins813]

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.

[@pinkspeeder]

This comment I've heard so often in two years of getting into this hobby. I was the same way btw.

[@bflo1000]

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.

I would add Aphonopelma Chalchodes, they're a gorgeous color and they chill outside most of the time.

I have to agree

[@karebearsanimalhouse7195]

I have one and you're right! Its always out!

This is the best tarantula channel I know. You've put more effort with quality than any others I've seen.

[@tarantulacollective]

Thanks a lot. I certainly try. I really wanted yo elevate the tarantula niche in KZbin 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

[@Max-xf1mw]

@@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!

Hell yeah 😂😂

[@xdarkxerox]

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!

[@luluguilherme8908]

Agreed mine is also like yours

[@c.9900]

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.

[@wollewolf9863]

Now a top ten list "10 most beautyful T´s you never see"...

[@tarantulacollective]

Great idea! I'm on it

[@solitary.witch0077]

Is it bc they either web heavy or are bulldozers?

[@kristenerwin2518]

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

[@raccoonteeth5612]

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!

[@lauraclegg794]

Did you get some T's, hope so. I just adore mine xx

[@lazarrus5316]

A. geniculata and the OBT must be on this list.

[@crazyjoep2344]

Yes!!! The A.gen is one of the very best - never hides (here), huge body and fangs, and the markings on the legs

[@toodifficulttodance]

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.

[@NoG-Inc.]

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?

[@clamskaboo5120]

Barbara van Eldijk Bouwens not to mention that they have a black hole for a stomach.

[@svenkaan6864]

My OBT allways hides? Ive had several of them and still have 3 atm. No display specie

[@phiares]

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.

[@matthewsierra314]

This footage is incredible. I’m sure the videos doesn’t beat seeing these creatures in person.

[@kellybraun7048]

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. 😆

[@neubies3]

I am so happy that you said green bottle blue was number 2! I'm getting that little guy. So beautiful.

You should do a complete collection show of your collection which seems to be epic and you are displaying them very nicely.

[@tarantulacollective]

Thanks! I did one last year, but it is probably high time to do a follow up. You can the last collection tour here: kzbin.info/aero/PLjBrtja7Q8uhkqOC0G9HTMYJI3Rz4tMkt

[@abimaze4308]

I love when some of the more "boring" colored tarantulas with less bright colors make the list- I like to appreciate the simple beauty of the spider sometimes, and especially with how they are a lot more sociable. My Brachypelma hamorii is ALWAYS out and walking around, I've had him for 11 years (He's so old for a male!) since he was a sling and I just love watching him walk all around the enclosure.

[@Wasabineko]

Picked up my very first T today, a 1” GBB. Thank you for all your awesome vids and the positivity you bring to the hobby.

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.

[@tarantulacollective]

Thank you! And thank you so much for watching!

[@megfelsenthal1712]

I actually pretty much agreed with this list. Maybe not the G. pulchripes because mine just HIDES! Lolol. Hopefully once it's bigger I can see its beauty! My GBB is always a crowd pleaser. 😍😍😍 Nice job, as always! PS: My 4 year old didn't understand why you weren't saying hi back! 😂🤣😂🤣 "Mommy, why doesn't he say hi to Cae Cae? I love his spiders."

[@tarantulacollective]

That's hillarious! Tell Cae Cae I said "hello"! I am sure your Chaco will be out a lot once it puts on some size!

[@tarantulafidus_achates4772]

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!

[@tarantulacollective]

LoL...are you calling me crazy? I have a lot of enclosures that appear to just be dirt with a hole. .lol

[@hollybuckler2392]

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 :))

Love the energy you give your videos! You should do a top 10 arboreal, terrestrial, and fossorial vids next..I want an a. chalcodes for my first ever t but cant decide on other species to have an arboreal and a fossorial variety

[@starnaito]

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. :(

[@tarantulacollective]

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

[@gaiafaust8136]

A geniculata are so gorgeous. It was the first species that my spouse fell in love with.

[@billstokesbary6143]

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

[@SuperLoops]

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 🐖🐖😂

[@yoursodumn]

Mine burrows off and on. Kind of a pet rock tbh.

[@rebeccawalilko960]

[@aixfukumoto]

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!

[@angelaroddy3768]

Your video's are so entertaining, I love it. I only have the one T for now and it was the honorable mention, The Grammostola Pulchra. I want a GBB so bad but my truck needs to be fixed first.

[@joshstarantulas]

Personal favorite all around is the Grammostola Porteri! My Rosie was always out and about. Was so chill shes still the only T to this day i wouldnt think twice to let her out and even pet her a little. I even rubbed her fangs after she hardened from a molt. Keep in mind this was about 20 years ago when we didn't have all the great info you and other content makers/discords we can learn from! Also I like your choices Although I want a pink foot goliath for my #1 ;)

A. Geniculata is probably one of my top display ts but as my golden knee was was my first ever tarantula and watched him grow from small juvie to full grown adult that was always out and looking gorgeous, that species definitely has a place there too

I'm really surprised that you didn't put the gbb at number 1, I was totally expecting it because I know how much you love this species!

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!

[@tarantulacollective]

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.

im going to the pomona reptile super show in a 4 days and im so excited! im going there to get more t’s for my collection and this definitely helped. thank you!

[@deadxeyesx6777]

Nice guitars.. You should do a vid with background music of you playing them 🤘🤘🤘 loving the channel dude

[@foureyedlynx5440]

Yaaaaaayyyy! KZbin recommendations were actually useful for once! I have a baby golden knee who's never dug a burrow once 🤔 My fireleg was my first T. Yours is GORGEOUS 😍

[@tarantulacollective]

Very glad you found the channel! Score one for KZbin! It has been pretty generous lately recommending my content to people. It is awesome to have you!
