[QUOTE="JoJo, post: 206989, member: 38183"] Hey guys! Thanks for replying. My criteria are these: - Beginner friendly. I have never owned a T before. - No phobia of spiders. - Not to exceed 6” (Preference is maximum 5”) - Not exceedingly long-lived. (I know, probably haven’t heard that one before, right?) - Not prone to throwing urticating hairs. - Easy to keep. - Cute and/or somewhat colourful. - The least ”creepy“ looking; husband doesn’t yet know I’m looking into these and is not a fan of spiders, even though he’ll never ‘have’ to see it. My choices based on the above-mentioned and their availability to me, are: 1) Brachypelma Albopilosum “Curly Hair” 2) Caribena Versicolor “Antilles Pinktoe” 3) Avicularia Metallica “Pinktoe” 4) Cyriocosmus Elegans “Trinidad Dwarf Tiger” 5) Hapalopus sp. Colombia “Pumpkin Patch” If I could find these in Canada, I would add these to the top of my list, but alas, haven’t found any available in my current research: **Homoeomma Chilensis “Chilean Flame” **Euthlus sp. Red So, what are your opinions based on what your experiences are with these? Any other suggestions? [/QUOTE]
