Should I get a new T?

[PandaLikeEwok]

I have been looking after my chilean rose for about 5 months now without any problems, and I was wondering if it was appropriate time to get a new T (I've just grown to love looking after my current one). Any suggestions or feedback on the idea would be very appreciated, thanks.

I don't see why not, by the time I'd been in the hobby for 5 months I already had 8 Ts. A great T that is as tough as old boots is tha B. albopilosum. As slings they burrow but in such a way as to be visible scuttling around on the bottom of the container then as they get larger they stay on top more.

Yeah it's about time for another one,let me suggest either a GBB hardy great feeding response and great colours or a A.genic hardy great feeding response and big and beautiful or go with what Enn suggested there all great T's....

Definitely: If you can look after 1 T, you can look after 2 (or 8, lol).
A. Geniculata is definitely a must-have, IMHO, so is a Brachypelma sp. (I have a Boehmei, but would also love an Auratum and/or Vagans at some point). GBB, too, is one spider every T lover should have.
If you don't mind big, I could also suggest an L. Parahybana. Great feeders and no hassle to keep.

Its always appropriate to get a new T

G.Pulchra
O. diamantinensis
H.Incei
B.Smithi

And the list could go on lol
I've only been keeping T's for 6 months I'm up to 17..

Just had a little browse (aka window shopping as I'm barred from buying Ts at the moment, lol) on The Spider Shop webpage. They've got Grammostola Actaeon and G. Iheringi slings! I have not seen of the former before and think I'm a little bit in love with them now... Going by their growth rate I might just be able to hide one in between the other sling tubs before the husband notices, lol.

Of course u should get some new Ts
but if ordering on line u might as well get a few of them to save on shipping.

Grammostola pulchripes are a good starter T and grow to a good size .

Slings are small...who'd notice a tiny pill jar?? Or two...?
