Message: <blockquote data-quote="DalilahBlue" data-source="post: 1360" data-attributes="member: 375">Hi everyone! I am new member, and though I have always loved inverts, I have never had a T.  While I did keep a friend's Rosehair for over a year (and she was a typical Rosehair...very little moving and probably only ate 6-8 times the ENTIRE time I kept her) I have never had an opportunity to keep one for myself til now.  I have done tons of research and have decided I am going to start with 2-3 spiderlings.   I haven't exactly decided on which species yet as I keep getting criticism for not picking typical "beginner" species.  I am not new to animal husbandry, nor to keeping exotics.  I am not planning on handling my T's unless I have to (they don't exactly like being cuddled, you know?). Anyway, I am looking at OBT's, Brazilian Red and White's, Mexican Fire Legs, Mexican Red Knees, and Brazilian Blacks to begin with.  Have any of you kept these guys?  What do you think? And what are your favorites? ~Dal</blockquote>
