[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 161955, member: 4548"] 1. While both tarantulas and jumping spiders have their perks and based on what little I know about jumping spiders, tarantulas live longer. I believe @enncould me more helpful in the subject. 2. T. albopilosum are easy to keep. I started with one of these. They are always rearranging their enclosures and eat very well. I give all four of mine deep substrate with a hide and water dish that I overflow periodically. Temperament wise, they can be skittish, particularly as juvies in my opinion. My female Nicaraguan variant can turn on the jets at times, but other than that, all of mine are fairly calm. 3. Avics are beginner friendly but not the other way around. They are easy to keep arboreals, that are fast and can be quite skittish and have very good aim as well (pop cannon), enclosure must have a lot of ventilation and substrate must be dry (minus the water dish). It is not necessary to elevate the water dish as they will go down towards the water dish. 3. A. seemani like deep and damp substrate for digging. Most are skittish, though more like unpredictable. Honestly it seems as if they have more fossorial tendencies judging by what I have read. I don't have one of these yet, but threads concerning this species pop up at least once every other week.
