[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 225710, member: 4548"] The ladder system as some call it is honestly what I would personally recommend to most newcomers to the hobby. A. geniculata is a great species to start with in my opinion however. I had a monstrous female that passed of old age a year ago. If you want big and supposedly defensive, I’d recommend the Phormictopus genus without hesitation. The Phormictopus genus is one of my favorites. The Phormictopus species I’ve raised were more shy and skittish rather than defensive and evil, they just have ridiculous appetites. Even though you mentioned starting with more intermediate species, you shouldn’t overlook species such as G. pulchripes and C. cyaneopubescens. G. pulchripes have the size and beauty, as well as an appetite. C. cyaneopubescens has everything the G. pulchripes has, minus the large size, although there are some large specimens out there. I had a 6” female (she was my second tarantula). They are great for first time keepers who want to start with an easier to care for species that is also a bridge to more intermediate species.
