They can live a very long time. My first Rose Hair was well over 20 when she passed.
I would not recommend a LP for someone new to spiders. They grow very quick, get huge, need a steady food source, have HUGE fangs and very irritating hairs.
B. smithi (Mexican Red Knee)
G. pulchripes (Chaco Golden Knee)
B. vagans (Red Rump)
B. albopilosum (curly hair)
All of the above are great first Ts and great for any collection.
G. pulchripes is a favorite of mine and my top choice for a first T.
