Any Acanthoscurria species, not just geniculata, will be equally good.  Price and availability vary. The most affordable of these is L parahybana because of the huge number of slings produced and ease of breeding. You can literally get unsexed slings for under $20.L klugi and L difficilis are also very popular. L striatepes was the largest known T on Earth until T blondi was discovered.Members of the Lasiodora genus all attain a very large size and grow quickly if fed a lot.  Some extra moisture and a wee bit of frogmoss is appreciated but not strictly necessary.[ATTACH=full]40873[/ATTACH]This is my L klugi.</blockquote>
