Rosea and A. Avicularia but I've been hearing a LOT about other stores selling some more interesting, albiet defensive Ts, and I wouldn't have just anyone take one home without proper education for sure. Before I got my two babies I did a LOT of research and I STILL have questions so imagine someone who doesn't have that drive to find out what they're getting into and they just get one because it's "pretty". Sadly at the big box stores all they want to do is move product. Now there's a G. Rosea at the local PetCo I'm most likely taking tomorrow and the reason behind that is that I have wanted a G. Rosea thats not a sling still and they've had HER there forever and no one has so much as touched her outside of cleaning her tank (in which they destroy her web every morning) and I just feel bad for the little girl. I am getting the tank all set up for her cute butt and putting her in when I pick her up tomorrow and she will not have another web touched like that and she'll be able to eat and enjoy life outside of that TINY little tank that she clearly isn't a fan of, she doesn't even use her hide!!!</blockquote>
