A chilean rose was my first T as well, my uncle moved to thailand and pretty much dumped it at my place the week he left, now it has lead me to an obsession haha, although I have always loved spiders/tarantulas. I personally don't think chilean rose are amazing starters to be honest, or at least mine wasn't they have the most unpredictable behavioral patterns I've seen (fasting and psycho rosies). They are an amazing way of learning tarantulas though (seen as a must have to many collectors).</p></blockquote><p></p>
