[QUOTE="m0lsx, post: 173095, member: 29323"] I know it is not a Tarantula, but my daughters high school had Giant Madagascan Hissing ****roaches. They are really simple (& cheap) to keep & can be handled. My daughter is now in her early 20's & she talks about the school roaches & loves to handle my Hissing Roaches. A Giant Hissing Roach is about 3 inches long & makes a very impressive hissing sound. Tarantula wise, as your profile tells me you from the US, how about a North American species like an Aphonopelma Johnnycashi or Aphonopelma chalcodes. The Johnniecashie was discovered close to Fulsom Prison & the males are black in colour, but the females are shades of desert browns. Both my johnniecashie & chalcodes are normally out on show & my chalcodes I call Hohokum, as they live in the Sonoran Desert, among other places & like the Sonoran People it moves a lot of substrate. Aphonopelma are really slow growing but an adult/sub adult is not hugely expensive. This is Hohokam. They are one of the most responsive T's I own. If I take the lid off their enclosure & talk to them they really do move towards me. [ATTACH type="full"]46136[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
