[QUOTE="Thistles, post: 128449, member: 3949"] I'd say they aren't, as tarantulas go, but tarantula-keeping isn't rocket science. Anything in [I]Theraphosa[/I] isn't a particularly easy tarantula, as they prefer deep, moist substrate and a ton of grub. Their hairs are a biiiiitch, too. No one ever regrets a genic, but there are definitely cases of [I]Theraphosa [/I]regret. If you do get one, go with stirmi. They're (imo) prettier, not that any [I]Theraphosa [/I]are all that pretty, and definitely cheaper. I've heard that they're easier to keep, but as they're the only one I've kept I have no basis for comparison. I'd definitely recommend a genic before a stirmi, though. [/QUOTE]
