[QUOTE="WolfSpider, post: 118388, member: 24627"] Congratulations on your growing family! May you raise a village Calico. My 2 cents (cause that is what it is worth!!) G. Roses is probably not a good starter species. Temperaments can vary wildly, even amongst the same spider. Near a molt, they can fast for up to 6 months. While I like G. Pulchripes a lot, they can get quite big--up to 8 inch DLS. You said you wanted a smaller T (4 inches at most). E. Sp. red is an excellent well tempered spider, but man-o-man they are slow growing. Ditto for the parvulus species. You have some great species listed there. Good luck. Know you cannot go wrong with any. [/QUOTE]
