Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nunua" data-source="post: 141032" data-attributes="member: 4947">You have got several good answers and the list you had written down was a bunch of nice Ts for a beginner. I got my very first T in February. It was Acanthoscurria geniculata. New world, absolutely gorgeous, easy to keep, relatively calm but always hungry. Though, because genics are always hungry, they tend to have ferocious feeding response so they can feel a tad fast/jumpy (mostly just because they're looking for feeders). My girl has never given me any trouble - She gets a tad grumpy when in premolt, but even then the worst she has done is kicking hairs.After my genic I got N. incei gold (always hiding), B. klaasi, B. auratum, B. boehmei, B. albopilosum, B. albiceps (Yes, a bunch of nice Brachypelma spp., klaasi being my the most skittish sling), S. angustum (Previously Brachypelma angustum, my sling is a tad skittish), N. chromatus (easy to keep but a tad skittish. Tho, mine usually just curls into a stress ball. Behavior may change in juvenile stage), C. versicolor (very nice beginner arboreal as long as you remember efficient cross ventilation) and two old worlds, P. vittata and P. tigrinawesseli.</blockquote>
