Message: <blockquote data-quote="Cobalt" data-source="post: 12555" data-attributes="member: 604">All three are fast growers and will probably mature in 1 year +. I would not handle an A. versi and if you handled a versi sling you'd probably never see it again <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite7" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue    :p" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":p" /> G. pulchripes (f. G. aureostriata) would be one of the top "handlable T's" in my opinion - I normally don't handle T's (or recommend it for that matter) but my Chaco is just so sweet and gentle that i can't stay away...it's the only T i consider my "friend".  I find OBT's to be great (BEGINNER) T's (not first T)...if people use common sense this is a good choice IMO.  <a href="http://tarantulakeeper.blogspot.no/2008/12/top-10-beginners-tarantulas.html" target="_blank">http://tarantulakeeper.blogspot.no/2008/12/top-10-beginners-tarantulas.html</a> - i don't know if you checked this out the last time i linked you, if you didnt ,you should check it out.</blockquote>
