Where I live isn't particularly dry and I have no experience with this species so I'll let someone else give their opinions on ventilation As for a first t it doesn't matter what you get. As long as you do adequate research and your responsible when you need to rehouse or work with the t/enclosure then you'll have no issues. Good example of this is Australians in the hobby.  Due to import laws they can only obtain native species so all their tarantulas are old world.   There are also members on this forum that started with "advanced" species.</blockquote>
