[QUOTE="DreadedNeith, post: 157277, member: 28071"] I agree with the braciphelma sp. (I have the curly hair.brachypelma albopilosum) as a beginner species. You can get them as a sling or sub adult and watch them grow. They aren't hard to take care of as far as husbandry. They seem to be slow and very calm (no bitting or kicking hairs). Keep in mind though that ever T is different. Most curly hair tarantulas aren't known to give a threat pose or kick hairs but my girl does kick hairs some times. They also seem to have a good feeding response, stay put in the open quite often, and look more like a fluffy little mouse than a spider. Here's my girl. They are also cheap. Probably a good idea to start with less expensive species and work up to the more pricey Ts.obviously you'll want to research the species you decide to get so nothing happens to it because it is an animal but if you are a begginer then mistakes can happen and you don't want to have a dead pet and be out of $100, $200, or even more.
