I really like a lot of the avic species, esp the purpurea.

Im a big fan of blues purples pinks and black. Gray too and not so much brown.

While P.metallica is one of the more attractive species common-ish to the pet trade, you definitely need some experience under your belt before messing with any Pokie (Poecilotheria). That being said, Poecilotheria metallica would not be the first I started with, strictly because a mistake can lead to a $150 + sling dying.

Continue on the path of Avics, etc. They are quick enough they will help you learn how to deal with Pokies. When you get comfortable with how fast they are, find an Old World arboreal species (most are aggressive). This will give you the ability to deal with fast and aggressive species. Something most Pokies are.

I actually dove into Taps (Tapinauchenius) before I messed with Poecilotheria though. Extremely fast, extremely aggressive, but also rather colorful.

Anyway, take your time and enjoy the hobby. Move at your own pace, but remember to research all Ts you intend on purchasing to make sure they are something you can deal with. :)

Thank you! Yes, I don't plan on venturing anywhere I can't handle yet, esp with a 200$ spider ;)

I'll be browsing arachnoboards to find a good list of species to look up :) I have 2 more I want now, which I mentioned above, but will have to wait on those :)
