[QUOTE="meridannight, post: 221098, member: 39025"] I don't think it is possible for anybody to tell what tarantula you should get, as a first, second, third, whatever. There are general recommendations because keeping tarantulas carries certain risks and keepers should be educated about and aware of them, and not rush into things they are not ready to handle. Other than that, get the tarantula you like and feel comfortable with keeping. And no-one knows which one that is but yourself. Honesty with self is important here. I'm one of the guys who started with Old World species and, in fact, with a couple of exceptions now, I only keep Old World tarantulas. I just can't deal with the hair, that thing's outside my personal comfort zone. That's the goal here -- you have to like the animals you have, and you have to feel comfortable with having them. Some of the faster and/or more defensive tarantulas may look beautiful, but it's no good keeping them if the owner is scared of their own spider. [/QUOTE]
