Hi Kolby. As for what to get next - it depends on what you like, ie colour, pattern or personality, arboreal or ground, webbers or tunnelers.

My choices would be:-
Oligoxystre diamantinensis - Arboreal but a heavy webber, mine is amazingly placid spending most of its time right at the top of the container but it stays still when I open it. Stunning colours. Picture of mine in my avatar.
Brachypelma albopilosum - Ground dwellers that will burrow as slings
Holothele incei - A dwarf T that will reach around 2''. Very heavy webbers that will fill their container with web tunnels.

They're all great feeders.

They all sound great, I know one the ones I want for sure is a P. mirnus, and I was looking between the B. albopilosum and B. smithi for another one of them.

I take it you mean P. murinus the famed OBT. Many people will try to put you off because of their bad reputation. My first T was an OBT bought as a juvi female and if I'm lucky I see her legs about once a month and the whole of her a couple of times a year. I've never seen any signs of either aggression or defence, she is more likely to run into hiding. It doesn't mean I don't keep in mind what she is capable of though.

Both B. albopilosum and B. smithi are great Ts.

First, before I make any suggestions, what species are you currently caring for?

In my collection my b vagan is awesome it digs just as much as my b albopilosum but it webs more it tumbles when it tackles it food and lot more colorful and about the same price as a b albopilosum.
