[QUOTE="Sheisfishing, post: 68497, member: 4568"] Thanks Chubbs! I am definitely thinking that I will end up with another terrestrial. I would love some suggestions. I think I paid around 40 bucks for Charles when he was a baby from [url]http://www.tarantulacanada.ca[/url]. He was like a tiny house spider when I got him and it was awesome to watch him grow and sex him after his molted exoskeleton was big enough to handle. I chose the b smithi because I initially had plans to handle him and they were described as being more docile than other tarantulas. However I just didn't have the countenance for it and the few times I initially handled him I would panic - when he was small I accidentally tore his leg off when putting him back in his enclosure and I never handled him again after that. I felt horrible and it took two molts for him to completely regenerate it. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed just watching him and would probably maintain that type of interaction with any new T I ended up with. I'm not familiar with any other brachypelma species so anything you can suggest would be appreciated. I'm open to any type of species as long as they are bred in captivity and not wild caught Thanks again for all your help! [/QUOTE]
