Message: <blockquote data-quote="Jess S" data-source="post: 157081" data-attributes="member: 29302">TMay I recommend a Homoeomna Chilensis. They are adorable and don't get much bigger than approx 3".People recommend them as great for beginners and arachnophobes, as they generally do not kick hairs or bite (though there can be exceptions). They are slow moving too.The only downside to them is, they can go on long fasts of not eating. Which if you're a beginner, can be worrying, so be prepared.There are people on this forum who own them + can tell you how great they are. I'm hoping to get a sling next week, so I can experience them first hand myself!</blockquote>
