[QUOTE="Arachnoclown, post: 181198, member: 27444"] Honestly Poecilotheria are probably better then Psalmopoeus for beginners. I do agree only on the grounds of venom effects..but barely. Psalmopoeus venom is extremely hot and extremely painful unlike all other new world spiders. Poecilotheria venom is the same but add rapid heart rate, long term cramping....ect. The major difference between the two (this is from on hands experience...I own 100s of each) is that Poecilotheria tend to run and hide avoiding confrontation as to Psalmopoeus will hold their ground and bite. Ive had Psalmopoeus actually hunt my hand down (through the glass)...they seam to have very good eyesight for a spider. Honestly if you do your homework and start with a sling theres no reason you cant start with a pokie. Poecilotheria tigrinawesseli, smithi, regalis and metallica all are pretty laid back compared to the other species. [/QUOTE]
