Best beginners Hunstman Spiders?

[Spooderwoman01]

Hi, which species of Hunstmen are considered the best for those who have never kept Sparrasids before? To be more specific - I'm asking if there are any species in the hobby that are generally considered to be the calmest and less likely to try and teleport from the enclosure when maintenance time comes, or when needing to be rehomed? I have never had one... I'm currently raising a few Jumping spiders, a Giant House spider, a Cellar spider, a Yellow sac spider and three small Wolf spiders.

Thanks

Three nights ago Ferdinand the Great III appeared as I went into the bathroom. He dashed over both my bare feet then up the wall to perch on the corner of the sink. This was a first for me as my first time feeling one full throttle over my bod. Felt like a light brush with a feather. Sitting beside the sink I guessed he was a recent final molt with barely a 4 inch DLS. it was obvious he was male so I gave him his predecessors name. We've had two other males that have made themselves at home in our house for months at a time.
To answer the OP, Heteropoda Venatoria. Very common, strong, durable, cosmopolitan found in many countries. Nicknamed 'the sewer rat of spiders' by Peter Jaeger for their being so common and their preferred haunts. But they tolerate any environment. Free ranging in the house they lurk, parked for the day shunning the light. When the house is completely dark they do their hunting thing. So cohabitation with humans as pretty easy. We just need to be aware he may be hiding where he could get squished so we employ a little due caution. In turn we get rewarded by seeing him on occasion when we turn a light on at night.

As for teleport, get used to it, They all do that. If they never escape consider declaring yourself a product of immaculate conception or a space alien.

PS To catch runaways have some fuzzy cloth on hand. Corner them so when they bolt they run over the cloth which slows them to a manageable crawl.

Alright, that Huntsmen aren't for me as much as I like them! I live with someone who's afraid of spiders and wouldn't appreciate a big long-legged spood running around the house...

Keep it somewhere they can't see it? and honestly escapes really shouldn't ever be happening as long as you are practicing thoughtful and methodical husbandry skills/practices.

The phobia is just so strange for me. Yesterday morning, 04:00. Went downstairs to get my cuppa. Ferdinand was parked in the middle of the kitchen floor. Frozen by the intruding light turned on. So I explained
"Look dude. Let me get my coffee and I'll have the light off in a couple of minutes."
He just sat there as I walked around him. Water, cup, spoon, back and forth. Then light off and back upstairs.

So what exactly in this scenario is there any reason, rational or irrational, to feel fear, or any other emotion for that matter other than being apologetic for disturbing him? He has his agenda, I have mine. Neither involves the other.
And the bonus; glancing at him as I puttered about. He's cute. And so tolerant of my intrusion. I wish more people acted like him.

Spider terror!! Go up to my wife holding my arms away from my body. "Hon, I got a spider in my shirt."
Her, "Why?" Agh! Darned women's curiosity!
"He crawled up my sleeve."
Her, "Well take your shirt off."
"Help me? I don't want to squish him." She does. No spider on me. She gingerly takes the shirt outside on puts it on top of the washing machine. Returning she instructs me to get another shirt. I hate people being so practical. Gut wrenching fear and horror averted.

Ferdinand?

Ferdinand?

No idea. Upon first meeting of Ferd the first my brain went fishing for a name. Ferdinand the Great popped up. I suppose I don't let myself in on a lot of my secrets.

If it’s hypothetical, I’m also worried an intruder could show up. Probably will not get past the dog barking.
