I would also highly recommend a Monocentropus balfouri which is the most beautiful T I have & it's webbing is something amazing to see. My Aphonopelma chalcodes is my biggest character & not only my most bold T, that has no hesitation in whacking out at any leaves I move, but a T that comes out to see what I am doing. And as a result it is my favourite T that I own & the only one I have named. Everyone should have a A chalcodes. Phormictopus cancerides are large & very under rated.  Mine is a total kitten & very happy to walk around it's enclosure until the lid comes off. But with the lid off he just has to pop up & say hello & a hand does not keep him inside. It is a chance for a longer walk.  So normally I use the enclosure lid & let him have a wander, but he is one I do occasionally accidentally end up handling. They are eager feeders & easy to keep.</blockquote>
