Message: <blockquote data-quote="VanessaS" data-source="post: 79812" data-attributes="member: 4948">Looks like the Scarlet Bird Eater is a Lasiodora species.  I would not suggest that one for your very first tarantula.  Although they have some really good things going for them - they are a challenge and not as forgiving.I've had tarantulas for many years and only recently got a Lasiodora difficilis.  It was not by choice - it was a freebie sent with a couple of others that I ordered.  They are a bit out of my comfort zone right now, but I hope that this little spiderling will change that.</blockquote>
