[QUOTE="kormath, post: 71419, member: 4199"] Tarantula's don't "hear", they're covered in hairs that sense vibrations. The alarm may startle it from the sudden sound vibrations, but it won't hurt their ears (they don't have 'ears') like it may a dog or other animals. I don't think it'll be bad for a T. For a starter T i'd suggest one of the Brachypelma (cause i love that genus) like the smithi (Mexican Orange Knee), or boehmei (Mexican Fire leg), or the Ablopilosum (Honduran Curly Hair). If you want a beautifully colored tarantula the Green Bottle Blue (Chromatopelma cyanopubescens) is a great beginner T. They have an amazing appetite, web like crazy if you get them some fake plants, and the greens, blues, and orange on their body is absolutely beautiful. The Rose Hair is a good starter, typically docile, but they frustrate new owners with their random fasting sessions. All of these are raised in the same envioronment, dry substrate, water dish and a hide, and some plants for the GBB to web on. [/QUOTE]
