Message: <blockquote data-quote="Phil" data-source="post: 84532" data-attributes="member: 4151">Welcome to the group. You will love it here as members really friendly and knowledgeable.  Nice start to your collection there. May I also throw into the mix 2 of my faves.1. The GBB (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens). Fantastic colours, if you get as sling as well they go through many colour changes before the adult colours appear. Heavy webbers which I fingers totally fascinating and are usually pretty good as a "starter" T, although one of the three that I have had over the years was a bit of a bad ass and frequently went into pose threat for no reason ar all....lol2. Giant White Knee (Acanthoscurria geniculata). A big spider that likes to just sit right in the middle of the tank without a care in the world. Mine is nearly 8 inches DLS (Diaganol Leg Span). She is awesome.I know I said 2 but the Brachypelmas (smithi, amelia, boheimi) all have very nice red patterns to their legs/knees depending on the type and again are usually good display Ts. Check out my photo link at the bottom of my post and you can see mine for all those mentioned (and more)Like you, I have also done the fresh and salt water fish thing. Only fish tank I have atm is built into my living room wall.....ha ha.Tarantula, s are my addiction though and have kept them for well over 20 years now.</blockquote>
