Well then. I think this is my 2nd or 3rd thread regarding getting my first T. I am creating a new thread for the sake of you rude people (I know you are out there somewhere) who will criticize my first lists of wants in a T. I currently keep scorpions and I am confident that I can keep a T (though I'm planning to get the T months or maybe years in the future but I might as well have this thread up to help me keep thinking of getting one). What I will list below is a list of what I would like in my T. I understand that they have individual personalities and such but not all the wants in the list need to be used, it's just a general thing.
1. Feeding times. I would prefer a T that eats quite a lot but I am perfectly fine with a pet rock too.
2. Fast growth speeds. I would prefer a T that can grow rather fast just for the sake of me being a beginner and avoiding the "Oh no my T hadn't molted yet! Did I do something wrong?" on my part.
3. Size. I would prefer a rather medium size species. I do not have the space to keep a large species even if they don't need much space. I would absolutely love a small species but a species that can max (my max when it comes to size but idc if smaller) about 5-5.5 inch DLS would be perfect.
4. Temper. I like my aggressive species as I love the thrill to it. I understand that they can have their own personalities but this would count for a general experience of the species. (Ex. Sicarius are known to be rather docile but mine is extremely aggressive lol. I would never hold one even if I knew it was docile plus they are pretty venomous)
5. Keeping. I'd rather have one that doesn't need much attention but I can handle one that needs a moderate amount of attention if needed. Humidity is almost always a problem in my area for some reason where it is very dry. A desert species will be loved but I can handle a species that requires humidity (that's what good substrate is for!)
6. PRICE. I am almost always low on money so I would very very much prefer a species that is normally rather inexpensive.
7. Looks. Yeah yeah whatever you want to say negative but hey! I like how my bugs look! This can be completely ignored but just for the sake of more reasons
I am currently thinking of these species:
Ephobopus murinus(random pick), A. geniculata, Nhandu chromatus, Brachypelma smithi, GBB (i don't remember the scientific name xD), P.murinus (I really doubt this one but it does fit my list but I don't remember it's size lol)
I am open to your thoughts but please be nice! Thanks for your consideration (in advance).
