I was just wondering what everybody thinks is the prettiest T. I personally think that the Brachypelma Boehmei (Mexican Fire Leg) and the Cyclosternum fasciatus (Costa Rican Tiger Rump) are the prettiest :)

For me it's Xenesthis immanis they are amazing!
I agree, Xenesthis immanis are incredible!!!! I have a Brachypelma boehmei, but it is very little(1/2"). I am desperate for her/him to grow up. She/he is sooo tiny!

A minute ago, I saw pictures of Tarcan's freshly molted P. subfusca and now I have to add those to the list :D
Wow, there are so many gorgeous tarantula species.. why can't I have 'em all?! :D
In the common species, I have to agree that Cyclosternum fasciatum is on eof the prettiest... this is a species I am crazy about...
In the not common ones that I have, for me it is a tie between Cyriocosmus elegans and Hapalopus triseriatus... you can go on Rick West site if you are not familiar with how those look like...
I have a thing for dwarf species... they are so cute...
I only have one T and because of that took my time researching. I was looking for a T that had great looks and was noted as being relatively easy to keep.
I came up with a Brachypelma boehmi so I agree with you Emily!
If I were to get another it would be a Cobalt Blue.
Here she is again ...

I'm with Emily, I think the Mexican Fireleg is one of the most beautiful Ts I've ever seen, that, and the Cobalt Blue. :)

Psalmopoeus irminia is my all time favourite...soooooo beautiful!!!
Still working on getting one... But I think there is a lot of beauty in any tarantula for that matter. There are too many gorgeous ones to list them all!

I'm with Suntiger, I think male or female P. Irminia is probably my favorite. I just got my first T last week I'll post some pics later tonight its about a 2.5" Cyclosternum fasciatus.

I am bad at most questions involving superilatives, but I have a couple that people haven't mentioned yet. Heteroscodra maculata and Psalmopoeus cambridgei. Both are realtively common, though I don't own either. As pretty as a T may be, it just isn't a scorpion. :D
Cheers,
Dave
Here are some new pics...
And a last one for this morning...

Cool, still too rich for me right now, considering the only way I get money is through painting. Hopefully some more people will comission me to do some works.

It's so hard to just choose one! I'd have to say the prettiest would be any one of my Tapinauchenius. But then again, Taps are my obsession. I have 8 of them, covering all the species of Taps available in the US.
This is my 3" female T. plumipes:

BTW, it's nice to see so many familiar faces here! I come here to learn about snakes and look what I find!
