[QUOTE="Nunua, post: 139844, member: 4947"] I started my tarantula hobby on this February and do have the following: [B]New world species[/B] [I]Acanthoscurria geniculata[/I] - My very first. Beautiful and easy to keep, but thinks that everything that moves is food. [I]Neoholothele incei[/I] gold - Adorable and easy to keep, but fast, skittish and loves hiding [I]Brachypelma boehmei Brachypelma albiceps Brachypelma auratum - [/I]All these Brachypelma are so far extremely easy to keep. It's also awesome to see them developing adult colors [I]Brachypelma albopilosum Brachypelma klaasi Nhandu chromatus [/I]- Easy to keep, but thinks that everything that moves is food. A bit skittish, may be defensive later. [I]Sericopelma (ex. Brachypelma) angustum[/I] - Skittish but very easy to keep [I]Caribena (ex.
