If you had the chance...
If you had the chance to get ANY arachnid morph, which one would you get? For me it would be a Goliath Bird Eater (a large tarantula morph).

Wow, that thing is massive! Rather pretty too, I must admit- even though I'd never want one.

I was curious & just read that their venom isn't dangerous to humans (hurts though, like a bee or wasp sting) BUT they have "1 1/2" fangs"!?!? Um, no...not for me, thanks. I really prefer pets I can handle. The guy in the photo above must have an unusually-calm one, &/or nerves of steel, hahaha.

It's more the hairs you gotta worry about with GBEs. They're particularly bad even by urticating hair standards from what I've heard. They also need a lot of space (which goes without saying) and you need to secure their enclosure with the same precautions as you would a decent-sized snake as they're rather strong.

What I see in that photo is a spider about to fall five feet and die. That's a pretty irresponsible dude all around.
Arachnids have very few 'morphs', by the way -- 'Goliath Bird Eater' is a species (well, the common name of one). I assume that's what you meant, but many people are a bit fuzzy on the distinction so I thought it worth clarifying.

Oh wouldn't that be horrible! Back when I kept a large native t for a while, I was told that if they fall they'll die because their body will break open from the impact. I wasn't much for handling mine anyway, & only did so once or twice over furniture (the couch, I think?). Many people probably think they'd be able to bounce pretty well with those springy-looking legs, but no.
So if that t in the photo suddenly used his fangs, how many owners could keep their cool & not drop it? Not many, I'd guess. Maybe there's a soft cushion right below it that's just out of the picture, but even if there is, that photo is setting a bad example by not telling the whole truth.

My favorite new worlds would either be a T. blondi (the one you mentioned) or a GBB (I can't spell the scientific name). My favorite old world would be a P. metallica (but I'm not ready to keep one of those yet).
