[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 123999, member: 26980"] There's a lot of good choices for a first one. With Rosies, I've heard reports of wildly differing temperments and appetites that can even change from one molt to another. I'd treat a Rosie as a look but don't touch pet until it proves to be docile. Curly hairs are almost universally praised as being good eaters and calm spiders. The dwarf T, Euth. species red is also another universally praised one. I don't endorse handling and didn't start out with the most calm critters!! [MEDIA=youtube]kNjBGMxsFC0[/MEDIA] Again, that's just one opinion, but hers and some others turned me off to them a bit. Having said that, the red form is drop dead gorgeous!! Some are almost pink or a bit violet maybe. They are also tough hardy spiders. If you will consider a look but don't touch tarantula, look at the Lasiodoras genus or A. geniculata (white knee). The white knee is a real show stopper. This is my Lasiodora Klugi. Other Lasiodora species are more affordable. In my personal opinion, I wouldn't pay more then $100 for a first T, not including shipping which is nothing to go cheap on. [MEDIA=youtube]L9_7pfDSBng[/MEDIA] [/QUOTE]
