[QUOTE="Cheeky Nhandus, post: 225707, member: 42323"] So I'm looking for a first T, don't mind some defensiveness I've did plenty of research and am more concerned about hardiness although I would like a large T. There seems to be a huge A Geniculata cult following and I get that with their hardiness and their beauty and size... BUT... I wanted to get something with the same qualities but not jumping on the A Geniculata bandwagon just yet, and not a fan of Lasiodora species. Nhandu is a contender, The Chromatus and Tripepii, I love the Carapoensis but it seems pretty small... Are there any other large hardy T species you could mention. I got shot down on another board when I mentioned Sericopelma and I get why, people said I need more experience for their speed and defensiveness. Defensiveness isn't the issue for me but I get that if any that have any speed even near an old world like Psalmopeus species speed seems to approach, as they're very speedy for a new world... I get that... But I'm sure I can handle a terrestrial T picking up speed. Do you guys agree I should adhere to a sort of ladder system and leave Sericopelma and Phormictopus species until later on? I was all geared up for them and excited but if someone experienced says wait then should I listen, or does it depend on the individual keeper. Sorry for the essay. Thankyou [/QUOTE]
