[QUOTE="Sabeth, post: 12553, member: 545"] I'm wondering about the growth rate of these three Ts: Pterinochilus murinus Acanthoscurria geniculata Lasiodora parahybana Also, how handleable is Avicularia versicolor? I know handling is a touchy topic, but I'm returning my defensive P. parvula, and am now in the market for something that I can handle as I do my B. smithi. I've been curious about arboreals and love the coloring of A. versicolor but am not sure whether handling is easy; I've read they can be skittish and speedy. I'd be getting a sling under 1", would this make handling easier? If you'd like to suggest another species for its docility and ease of handling please feel free! It doesn't have to be arboreal, either. Any info on individual species is greatly appreciated. One last question...of the more aggressive Ts (i.e., medically significant bite and all that), which would you recommend for a beginner? I've been considering an OBT; is this a good first choice?
