They tend to be a bit more fragile as slings compared to other tarantulas and need somewhat more precise conditions to do well. This is why I don't recommend them as a first tarantula.  I recommend A.metallica or A.amazonica when you do feel ready. The latter is somewhat rare, but is a great species if you do manage to find one.</p></blockquote><p></p>
