[QUOTE="Gizalba, post: 182695, member: 31253"] I got my first T around 3 and a half months ago - she is a 'beginner' one, a Tlitocatl Albopilosus (curly hair). However at the beginning, and even now, it seems I want a range of tarantulas regardless of whether they are 'beginner' or not. I fell in love with the curly hair fluffyness :P but this one just happening to be beginner too, did sway my decision. I have still got my eye on some of the really colourful Brachypelmas. Since then I seem to have 'moved on' in orderly but swift steps ;) I saved the avicularia for a few Ts down the line just because their humidity plus good ventilation balance sounded a bit more complicated, although I have 3 of them now (well all 3 are at least 'ex' avicularia) - they are awesome :) Mine at least seem to move around more than the others and go for walks whilst appearing less shy. I also really like how they act aboreal straight from being a small spiderling, being right at the top of 'trees' in the enclosure. From there I moved onto Psalmopoeus, as I wanted more different types of aboreal but am not ready for the potency and speed of pokies. I also bear in mind the 'hair flickyness/irritation potential' of the species, as some I have read to be beginner - friendly (like Lasiodora species) seem to cause havoc with hairs, which for me personally with sensitive skin already, is not good. I have also stayed away so far from 'swamp dwellers', as I can imagine getting the balance between extreme humidity whilst preventing mould and mites is hard. [/QUOTE]
