Hi, my name is Lyn-Ann and I’m extremely new to the world of tarantulas and a former arachnophobic, haven’t got my first one yet but I really want one, what is the best species to start with? Thanks x.

A T. albo would be pretty cool. They are so cute and fuzzy.

Hello and welcome.
As @Teresaisrad says a Tliltocatl albopilosum is always a good species to begin with or any of the Brachypelma genus.

Yes, I’ve just looked them up and they are adorable, especially for someone you didn’t like spiders for many years, thanks x.

Yes, I’ve had a quick look into them and they do look like a good place to start, I eventually want a Theraphosa Stirmi but I really want to make sure I can handle the caring needs before I just go out and buy one, I’ve had many pets but no spiders before, thank you x.

Hello and welcome!
I think a GBB is a great first T, personally, however my first was a curly hair, Tlitocatl albopilosus

My first was/is an A. Seemanni. I have 2 adult T. Albos. Easy to care for, out and about a lot, good feeders and not too bad about kicking hairs, and also wonderfully cheap. Just keep water in the dish
