M balfouri or H pulchripes are pretty neat and far less of a headache. I don't regret getting my T stirmi, but a pet rock it sure ain't. I just hope the molting turns out ok. Captive bred slings cost just as much as H pulchripes. The others are even more expensive.I'm not saying don't do it, just that it's the same effort as getting 3 or 4 less finicky species.</blockquote>
