Chromatopelma are really excellent: active, beautiful, all that you could expect from a T! But as Telson said, Ts are either hidden or pet rocks... Trying a big and bold South American giants could be a good idea. Idem with having slings: they are more active, and watching them grow is exciting. The more you have Ts, the more you'll see things happening (molts, growths, feedings, etc.). Which means: take a lot of them!!! And welcome to the addiction!About Heteroscodra or Psalmopoeus, I have both since years. Younger, my Heteroscodra was always hidden. Now she's a big girl, she happens to be more visible. For my irminia, it all depends: sometimes she's out in the open, but most of the times she's hidden. They are very fast and unpredictable. Money is an issue, though. If you take little slings, it'll be cheaper (at least the sling, maybe not the food and maintenance...).Anyway, keep us informed of what you decided and don't hesitate to ask questions!</blockquote>
