[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 141413, member: 26980"] GBBs (Green Bottle Blues) are quite beautiful and like versicolor they go through dozens of color changes & one might find is way into my collection in the future. They are terrestrial not arboreal. They are a dry spidee that webs a lot & grows fast, very highly recommended. The humble B hamorii is also very good looking & perhaps the easiest tarantula to keep you can get. It's so easy to deal with that it's almost to easy. Yes, they CAN but should not be handled barring emergencies or necessity. The issue is that if you do get used to handling these and then try that on another type (the vast majority of other genuses or species) you'll get bitten or the T will escape. Only a very small number of species are even remotely handleable. [ATTACH=full]33813[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]ZlVvqmY5FM4[/MEDIA] Overall, any Lasiodora species as a sling maybe about 1.5" to 2", is the best starter one. They eat fast, are fairly calm {not suitable for handling) and remain visible all the time once they get the adult colors. [ATTACH=full]33814[/ATTACH] [MEDIA=youtube]ZX4is4yKu9w[/MEDIA] Still, there is never a wrong time to inject Pamphobeteous into the conversation. They are a moist spider. A big water dish with moist frog moss or other moss is mandatory. They are strongly sexually dimorphic & P sp machala is a good one to consider.
