Howdy! New to the forum

[Neopixal]

Howdy, from west US and looking for a tarantula recommendation or 'my first' tarantula. I'm looking for a tarantula that's a bit skittish or on the intermediate side of things so I'm not completely off guard when I move up to more difficult species. I'm looking for a species that enjoys a 'lush' habitat and prefer it to be on the dwarf or small side of things.

Hapalopus sp Colombia (pumpkin patch) or Dolichothele diamantinensis (Brazilian Blue Dwarf Beauty Tarantula) both are dwarfs and a little on the skittish side but not aggresive.

Hi and welcome

I agree with @Arachnoclown and would add Holothele sanguiniceps

 

[MassExodus]

Agree with Enn and Arachnoclown, nothing to add except: If you like dwarfs, check out Enn's pic thread. She's got some nice ones. I only have one, a Euathlus sp tiger, but she's a doll, not skittish at all.

Cyriocosmus elegans
Cyriocosmus perezmilesi

I should add that the above Dwarf Ts are all 2" dls or under.
