[QUOTE="Jenniferinfl, post: 197629, member: 37398"] I have a bunch of slings right now, but, am thinking of spending too much money to buy one female just to give myself a head start. What would be a good species to start with? I don't want to breed something that is so prevalent you can barely give them away but I also don't want to make rookie mistakes with something too uncommon either. I was thinking pokies just because they seem prevalent enough and it seems like their egg sacs are more like 100 or less instead of hundreds. But, they are also so fast, that they probably aren't a great choice for other reasons. I like all the common terrestrial, beginner type tarantulas too. Honestly, I pretty much love all of them except like the OW fossorial baboon types. Though, I could even go for one of those if they are a good place to start. :) I don't seem myself buying a bunch of females because I really do like raising slings and the surprise of what they will turn out to be. But, I'd like to buy one just to see if it's my sort of thing. [/QUOTE]
