[QUOTE="Phil, post: 190037, member: 4151"] Already mentioned was the M balfouri but like any Old World Tarantula, they are not usually the first group of Ts for someone new to the hobby. At the end of the day, each spider should be treated with respect and never handled and so as long as you are aware that Old World spiders like the M Balfouri are more defensive/aggressive and typically much faster, than New World, and you are prepared for this, then the choice is yours. I would still recommend looking for a GBB as the preferred option for a heavy wedding first T as well as research to see if there are other species that are more appropriate (albeit they may not web as much).
