[QUOTE="Casey K., post: 174732, member: 1090"] Hi there! :) Nice to meet you and welcome to the forum. I have listed a few good beginner tarantula species below. Perhaps you can research those, as well as others and let us know what peaks your interest and perhaps we can go from there. Grammostola pulchra (terrestrial) Grammostola pulchripes (terrestrial) Eupalaestrus campestratus (terrestrial) Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (terrestrial) Grammostola porteri (terrestrial) Avicularia avicularia (arboreal) Lasiodora parahybana (terrestrial) Terrestrial- ground dwellers Arboreal- tree dwellers Tree dwellers (arboreals) require more "height" and less ground space when referring to enclosure types and ground dwellers (terrestrials) require more "floor" space and less height. Different species require different setups and environmental conditioning but for the most part, keeping tarantulas at "room temp" is the simple way to do it instead of trying to keep each tarantula at a certain temperature (according to its natural habitat in the wild) and it doesn't harm them in any way. Room temps usually average anywhere between 70-78° Fahrenheit. Feed them once a week and make sure they have a clean water dish (varies for size of tarantula- you don't want a huge water bowl for a tiny sling/baby tarantula). They are wonderful creatures to care for and most of them are fairly hardy to keep! Happy critter hunting and feel free to ask any questions! :) [/QUOTE]
