    Tarantulas and Spiders

    Get something from the brachypelma or grammostola genus.

    I have a B. boehmei and a G. pulchra. Right now they're both still pretty small without any adult colors really. But as adults they'll be wicked awesome looking. The pulchras are velvet black colored and the boehmei will have sweet red legs with a black body. If you like the color red then go for a brachypelma.

    Is the B. boehmei anything like the G. pulchripes in terms of a "beginner spider" I really like the red on it! The gold colors on the other is awesome to tho!

    Lol I meant to "quote," not "thank". Pretty much anything in those genus' Mike suggested are good beginners, the boehmei are a bit more "spazzy" though, skittish and not as calm. They aren't likely to bite but they flick hairs. There are quite a few good beginner species. Look up green bottle blue/ C. cyaneopubescens, they're a good beginner species and GORGEOUS, but also not quite as calm. My main reason for suggesting the G. pulchripes is that they are very cheap in addition to all the perfect "beginner spider qualities." I figure a lot of ppl may not want to buy an expensive first spider.

    G. rosea are also very cheap and can be a good beginner but they sometimes go on looooong fasts, I had one go 2 years. So I'm a bit less likely to recommend them.

    Tarantulas and Spiders

    I 2nd G. pulchripes
    They are a great first T or a great addition to any collection. They grow a little bit quicker so you can get more experience as they do.
    Something like a B. smithi or G. rosea is going to grow much slower.

    I'm no good at sexing them that way.

    Very pretty spider!
