[QUOTE="Phil, post: 173425, member: 4151"] Hi Justin, welcome to the family. Clearly done some research for that shortlist. Can't wait to see your long list when you start adding. ha ha I voted G pulchra although was a toss up between that and G rosea. I have always been a life long Brachypelma fan but as they tend to flick hairs a lot more than the Grammastola, I went for that as your first choice, and as [USER=1090]@Casey K.[/USER] says, they are a classic beauty. Another factor to consider is that Chile have banned exporting tarantulas and although wild caught specimens in the hobby are low, it does drive up the prices for spiders from that region/country so G rosea prices are only going one way atm....up! so if you do decide on rosea, get one as soon as you can. As a first T I would also advise you get a juvenile to adult size rather than a baby (spiderling). Hope that helps :) Enjoy tracking your first T down. [/QUOTE]
