Is there a species of tarantula that you really recommend to a beginner like me?
First of all, thank you for reacting so fast. I live in the Netherlands, we have the CITES-B list, do I have to take in account with that? The B. albopilosum is on that list. And also: why are hairs a positive thing? I think it would be very cool to have a spider that digs, I think a spider is more of an observational pet, so I don't have to touch my spider.
I think small spiders would be awesome. I prefer to have a small spider.
And also: why are hairs a positive thing?
They add color and/or contrast to the abdomen and carapace colors. Unfortunately 99% of the pictures in a google search for the E. campestratus are wrong. Maybe someone here has a juvi/sub/adult they can share
The GBB is a great example, dark abdomen with bright orange hairs.
