NW vs. OW

[ChazJ]

So for the longest time, I didn't know the difference between old world T's & new world T's. I found out a while ago & wanted to go to the experts w/ the question (I know opinion has a lot on this discussion), but which do you think/like better, Old World Tarantulas or New World Tarantulas? An explanation would also be great.

Just gonna throw mine out there, I like New World Ts, for the reason I'm a beginner & would be very nervous taking care of an old world T.

I prefer New World for their stockiness, size, and milder venom.

I prefer NW as a whole but I'm a big fan of baboons.

I prefer old wold, because I react badly to Urticating hair. broke out in hives for three weeks with when I pick up my T stirmi molt not thinking

I think Scoolman means NW.
I don't have a large number of OW so I can't really say which I like better. I do like my little C darlingi though, she's a cutie

Old worlds... love their 'bite first, ask questions later' attitude.
