I have had bad advice when started out and ended up with a very crazy g. Porteri. My intention was to get a Euathlus sp.red but that same person told me "NO" to skittish and not a good beginner. Meanwhile here I am with a crazy and boring g. Porteri and wishing I went with my gut feelings to start. But it's not late, I am going to get the Euathlus after all as well as one more. This is where your advice comes in...... *1...I am very fond of the little T's and interested in the Cyriocosmus family( elegan or leetzi) Does anyone here own anyone from this family? What are their temperament, requirements and eating habits? Can you handle them?*2...I am interested in the GBB'S. What are their temperament, requirements and eating habits? Can you handle them?*3...brachypelma baumgarteni (Mexican orange beauty) "" same question*4...Eupalaestrus Campestratus  (Pink zebra beauty) "" ""*5...Hapalopus sp. Colombia "small or large" (pumpkin patch) """ """If you own any of these, please tell me about them and if any would be OK as a newbie</blockquote>
