I apologize for inadvertently click baiting you, haha

If only moving were possible, sigh


I did a lot of research on Ts that made good starters. I immediately ruled out arboreals because I prefer a heavier bodied, (generally) slower moving spider, so no pink toes for me. I also find the enclosures of terrestrials more interesting to look at, possibly because my dad had a rose hair when I was growing up. I was looking for something hardy, easy on the eyes, and ideally as docile as they come.

I was initially very sure about G pulchripes because I wanted a bigger tarantula, but for some reason B hamorii has been on my mind more and more lately with its striking coloration. I recently decided to consider the curly hair as well because it's very charmingly unkempt. Since I'm in college I am willing to deal with the slower growth rates, I don't want it to get huge before I graduate in 2023, lol
