I would go with a Euathlus sp. Red myself. Stay small and are very docile. That or I would go with a B. albopilosum (Honduran Curly Hair).

I dont recommend G rosea any more. most of mine tend to be moody. I actually have one that throws threat postures more often than my obt. Euthalus sp red is a good beginer T. even wc adults are extremely docile. also Aphonopelma abberans are very cool and calm, there's a ton that make good beginer Ts but it also has a lot to do with your own personal comfort level. if handling is desirable the ones that I mentioned are great. if you are a look but dont touch type then theres hundreds that would be great first choice.

I like spiders a lot and they're awesome, I just don't really like the handling part but I'd like to get over that fear. I was mostly looking for one that I won't be handling a lot but when I have to clean the cage, won't come try and kill me.

I tried taking a couple pictures of my first T: A Brazillian black and white. It's just so tiny! (Hopefully a her) name is Vengence. Still working on not being afraid of her, but she seems to be pretty chill so far.

Couple of new additions. I managed to snag two C. fasciatum females. :D

Full leg span is about that of a sobe' bottle cap. So maybe 1.5 inches or bit under 4cm? She was about 2/3 that size when I first saw her before she molted.

They grow fast. I had one go from like an inch to a 3" immature male in like less than 8 months. He won't be mature for awhile though bc they get fairly big. Loves to eat, he's always hungry. Congrats! :)

haha. This is great. I feel exactly the same way. I adore the look of all of these guys, but I would rather chew my arm off at the shoulder than hold one in my hand. Still want one as a pet though
