[QUOTE="bbbs53, post: 140046, member: 27439"] You aren't the only phobe to become a keeper and change into a lover, it happens to a lot of us. My first spider was a B. smithi that I got because the owner couldn't keep her. She was quite docile and didn't even have irritating bristles. That was in 1993, since then I have kept a few others and have never been disappointed with any of them. The species I keep now is fairly late to the group and even though it comes equipped with the bristles that can irritate, she tends to keep them to herself. Brachypelma are easy and low hassle spiders and I can say it is impossible to live with a T and not quickly become enamoured with it, they will fascinate just about everyone watching. The kid in the candy store effect of seeing a great variety for sale is pretty typical and you can end up with quite a few, all good if you have the time and inclination. There are a lot more species available now than even the recent past, do your homework and pay close attention the their habits, some are out and about way more than others. Now that you have some experience, none of them should present you with any problems you can't deal with and as mentioned, some are easier than others. Good luck with your picks and enjoy them, that ultimately is the reason for keeping them. [/QUOTE]
