I want to get my first tarantula but I don't know what to get, I am looking for a terrestrial that is hardy and cheap. I know that everybody would suggest a G.rosea but I have heard that they have mood swings and can turn hostile quickly. Is there any other T that I could get such as a B.Smithi but i heard that those were pricey. One last question is it possible that if I get a T that is a juvenile and handle it it will become used to being handled more.</p></blockquote><p></p>
