Are there any t's out there that don't grow to be really big? I'm looking for something smaller, maybe around 3"-4" when fully grown. Any ideas? Thanks. :)

I don't know much about temperament or ease of care but check out the Cyriocosmus elegans. Absolutely stunning animal and a very small species. The common name is Trinidad dwarf tiger. There are a few different dwarf species, so someone else should be able to make other recommendations. =)

These are all classed as dwarf tarantulas, not growing more than 2" DLS:-

Ami sp Panama
Cyriocosmus bertae
Cyriocosmus elegans
Cyriocosmus perezmilesi
Hapalopus sp Colombia klein
Heterothele gabonensis (this one is only 1.5" DLS as an adult)
Holothele incei gold
Holothele sanguiniceps
Kochiana brunnipes
Paraphysa sp. "Tiger"
Phlogiellus sp. baeri

I might add that these are just the ones I have but there are more.

Once you have some experience with the smaller T's, don't forget their cousins the True and Primitive spiders. All different sized, shapes and colors. But I would recommend them only for the experienced keeper.

I happen to have both of those species ;). They are gorgeous but DEFINITELY not for beginners. The six-eyed sand is one of the most venomous spiders in the world. The widows are not too far behind them. Wolves are a good starter as they behave like T's. Or an orb weaver if you have more room.

I've been researching the Euathlus sp. and I think this might be my next T. Thank you so much for the recommendation. :)
