Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 30373" data-attributes="member: 1152">If you're looking for a combination of simple husbandry requirements and gentle disposition, I would recommend Euathlus sp. red. It's a gorgeous, gentle, inquisitive dwarf species. We have three  adult females (one is mine, two belong to my son and daughter), and they are the only ones I often find myself holding. As soon as I open their cages for maintenance of feeding, they calmly crawl out and right into my hand. And there they will sit.G. pulchra is another good one. Large, black, beautiful, and generally very calm. Again, the husbandry is simple, and this is a long-lived species, so even a male will be with you for a good many years. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
