Please help me decide.....

Hi you guys

I am thinking about getting a new tarantula. I am so excited but I can't decide between the two I really want and I cant buy both. I am stuck between a Avicularia sp. "Peru Purple" - Peru Purple Pink Toe and a Brachypelma smithi- Mexican Red Knee. Wich one would you get and why? Please give me your opinion.

Both are very cool looking Ts. The smithi is the classic must have. That was one one of my top to buy ts but there sloooow growing species. The Avic has great color as well. But care can be a little on the tricky side. Some have terrible luck with avics.

Luckily I have 2 avics already and I must say I don't really have any problems with them. So I don't know

Looking at what you have in your sig, i'd go with a smithi for color variety

Thank you.

Hello
I'd say try and finish a genus if possible,or at least fill it up with what's available. I've been filling up my Avicularia, when done I will move to the others.

I have a few Brachypelmas and avics, so dont know... i am leaning more toward the smithi.
