Venom I believe is pretty high in all old worlds unless I'm forgetting one. I wouldn't call any old world docile either. I would recommend Hysterocrates gigas...red Cameroon baboon. They burrow alot but all mine sit outside in the open too. They love water and will actually catch fish. Still I wouldn't want to get bit by one but I've always felt comfortable with mine verses other old worlds. Here is my female eating. She always runs out of her burrow when I open it...I think she knows I'm going to feed her.View attachment 34648 View attachment 34649
Balfouri would be good...I've never had one so I cant really speak on them @Phil . Pokies...I'd say out of all the pokies regalis or striata have always been the most chill in my experience...still potent venom though.
The speed of pokies is my only concern with beginners. Psalmopoeus irminia would be a good warm up for pokies. They are a new world arboreal without urticating hairs. They are lighting fast and act alot like a pokie without nasty venom.
People always say they dont see theirs either...all mine are out pretty much everyday.I never see my P. irminia but the P. cambridgei is regularly out and about

I just looked them up and watched a couple of vids, they're certainly a nice species!Bumba Cabocla for starters! Not OW but a great T! Don’t pass up that option
