First T!

Go big or go home right? On the serious side though, the breeder is very experienced, and local, so I'm comfortable starting out with a more aggressive species with him around for questions and help. They're beautiful T's, but definitely one of the animals that are a "look and don't touch" sort of pet. I've heard that Brazilian black tarantulas tend to be pretty mellow compared to others, so that'll probably be the next pickup

Brazilian Black's are awesome! I started with a teeny weeny sling and I've got it to adult colors although it is still very small. The jet black everything is strikingly beautiful. I tend to get more comments on that little sling than any of my more wildly colored ones. It's definitely one of my more laid back Ts.

That's awesome! I've heard they grow pretty slowly, but the process and experience in raising critters is one of the more exciting aspects of keeping for me.

You are correct on that the Grammostolas are overall slow growers. The pulchra is growing rather fast compared to my other Grammostolas. The pulchripes and rosea are much much much slower.
