I agree, they're great spiders, very entertaining (digging, fighting with the tongs or water), lots of character and a greedy pig. My GBB is nice, too, lovely colours and webbing, good eater and always visible. Funnily enough, it has been the only one of my 9 that has ever flicked at me, lol. TBF, it's only little, so it didn't have the desired effect (I was taking its molt out).If you go for an LP, I'd go for a sling, because it's so nice to see them grow (so fast). Mine arrived at about 1cm leg span and has more than doubled in size in about a year.</blockquote>
