hi again!
yesterday a very good friend of my wife came to visit and she was quite blown away by all my tarantulas. the only problem was that she has quite serious asthma and got a bit of a bout when she even just entered my NW room. (I keep NW and OW tarantulas in different rooms).
But neverteheless she was extremely excited and fascinated by the Ts and wanted to know if there are any species I could suggest since she also wanted to get a T.
I felt quite bad when I had to tell her that due to her asthma this whole thing is a bit difficult. Because all species without urticting hairs are quite aggressive or fast and not really suitable for a beginner. I metioned Psalmopoeus, Tapinauchenius and Holothele since they do not posses urticating hairs. But all of them are quite agressive.(I do not really know about Holothele since I do not possess one, but one can often read that they are damn fast and aggressive).
Do you have any suggestions or has anyone a similar problem with asthma and give some advice. Personally I would nevertheless suggest those NW species without urticating hair rather than any OW species (not only due to the venom).
Any suggestions? Any quite "docile" ones without urticating hair?
