Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alex Fish" data-source="post: 8867" data-attributes="member: 510">Hi there for my next T i have decided to chose between these two. But they both have there pros and cons Lasiodora parahybana Pros: gets big, a reasonable temperament, good display, fast growing and good apitite. (if any other pro please feel free too comment) Coms: Needs a large tank which cost a lot. i know you can use good size plastic tubs with air holes (e.g really useful box's) but then does not display well. ( any other cons please comment)  Brachypelma smithi  Pros: Look amazing. Eats well. Does not need a large tank to display in. Cons: Can flick hairs. Others: not too fussed about it growing slow because i can then save up to keep it in nice "display" tank.   Is there any other Brachypelma species that don't tend to flick hairs?  I have a G.Rosea and she seems happy but is a pet rock has not eaten yet. I know this is normal she is healthy and Sub Adult so any advice between the two would be much appricated Thanks Alex</blockquote>
