Which would you pick?

But... but.. who WOULDN'T wanna hold a fast venomous spider that's nicknamed the "orange bitey thing"?

Personally I'd go lasiodora parahybana bc I really really want one. They're much prettier imo than the Goliath and they're supposed to be friendlier and hardier from what I've read. I mean how cool is a giant freaking tarantula?!
I bought an L. parahybana sling once but it died the next day I brought it back to the store and they told me every one of theirs they had from that shipment all died too. They refunded me but the poor lil spiderling... he was so cute.

For the second, the irminia because they're just pretty.

Mike is just a scaredy cat. I'd hold one for $5 (a dead one).

I still can't make up my mind and the lack of a unanimous decision from everyone here sure doesn't help. I think I'm just gonna get them all. Two now and two after Christmas. Now which 2 will have to wait...
