hello all
I am relatively new to the hobby, but I am already looking to expand my collection. I currently have three slings (A. seemani, B. vagans, and G. pulchripes) but I would like to get an adult T that I can display and not worry about as much as a little sling. I work at a local exotic pet shop and we have some Avicularia avicularia for decent prices and I've been debating picking one up. The one I have been eyeballing is around 3.5 inches DLS and I was curious if this would be a decent first adult T. I have also been thinking about picking up an adult A. calcodes but I would prefer an arboreal tarantula if possible.
If the Avic is a good stepping stone, could I sex it at that size to be sure I'm getting a female?
I should note I have done a good bit of research on Avics and I already have an enclosure at home, just not set up.
