Pink toe. I love my red knee but my pink toes were awesome

Thanks for your feedback, but remember what I said above?

I was a bit confused as the first part of your question was "should i choose redknee, leg or pinktoe"

 

[Scoolman]

G pulchra
G pulchripes
B albiceps
B albopilosum

All are relatively docile, easy to care for and very attactive

Hello
Would not say better, but super hardy and grows larger really large Lasiodora Parahybana/Salmon pink bird eater. Easy to take care of, large appetite always outside so a good display T.

If you want a beautiful T that will live a long time if you care for it properly, get a red knee. They are known to be one of the longest lived species and are very hardy. I've had my female for over 10 years and she will always be my fave

I get alot of people asking me what they should pick as a first spider. There are over 900 species (as of December 2013) to choose from.

Ask yourself a couple questions:

Do I want an arboreal, a terrestrial or a burrower?

Do I want something I can hold, or something that I can display? (I'll skip the controversy here, my view on handling is that if you want to do it, then do it safely with no risk to the T, no need to take "macho" photos, especially with Old World species).

Do I want something colourful or dull?

Do I want something small, medium sized or large?

Once you have answers to those questions you can narrow your search.

Personally, my own favourite of the list is Brachypelma smithi, but again that is an opinion.

All those T's listed are great choices, but I am also a bit partial to Lasiadora parahybana. I used to have 2 MM's. My biggest was 9", and he (Sabre) was a ***** cat
Also, a vote for Acanthoscurria brocklehursti , attractive, great eaters, a bit more feisty than A. genics.

Thanks that's great advice!
