[QUOTE="MyLilRed, post: 108842, member: 10781"] Talk about having a split personality... B boehmei's are famous for that, not to mention a big hair kicker! (Most of them anyway) The Emilia's are laid back and don't kick hardly any hairs. My B pulchra is soo sweet and laid back, she never kicks any hairs at me. My smithi is very active and will kick hairs when she feels like it. The Euathlus species are an excellent choice for beginners, but I would try to find one already 1" or so, they grow very slow. (Mine is still hanging @ 1.5") GBB'S are gorgeous speed demons and like kicking hair too, but love the webs mine make. On the calm arboreal side, there's the classic avicularia avic (Pink toe). Need a little more attention as far as making them happy to survive. Just don't buy into all the stories you read online about keeping them alive. I admit I am a little nervous with my girl, but have faith and the knowledge of some friends that can put me on the right path with this species. In a nut shell, these T's are not all too difficult to care for. Once feared by many is now becoming more excepted and collected as their own. It's wise to do your research before jumping into tne hobby. These are not one that you just throw a cricket to them every now and then. They need care and attention just like any other but maybe not as much. Many people who have T's simply love their collection and show them the RESPECT they so deserve. I have 1 male and 4 girls in my collection, and truly admire everyone!! Oh one more tad bit... it's NOT the size that makes the tarantula, so keep that in mind when doing your research.
