Message: <blockquote data-quote="VanessaS" data-source="post: 79811" data-attributes="member: 4948">I'm not sure what a Scarlet bird eater is, but the other two are perfectly fine for new comers to the hobby.  Nearly anyone in the Brachypelma or Grammostola genus is a good choice for someone starting out... nearly.  There are a couple who are a bit more of a challenge.  I have a few Brachypelma species, but not the vagans, and I love them.  I also have a couple of G. pulchripes and I absolutely love them to death! Very hardy and forgiving to mistakes, very easy to maintain, and gorgeous to boot! I have heard some say that their vagans is a bit on the cranky side, so my vote is being cast for the G. pulchripes for sure.Welcome!Here is a photo of my G. pulchripes juvenile female, who I adore![ATTACH=full]16724[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
