I have all of these and like them all. Out of this list the GBB and Tiger Rumps are my favorites. Both have very nice coloring as slings (versis do as well).

Tiger Rumps just look awesome at a pretty small size though I love mine.

Little skittish and fast but other then that there good eaters and grow fast. I keep my slings like all the others, keep one side of the enclosure on the damp side for moisture and the other side dry.

These guys don't get very big either, which is perfect for smuggling!

Ahh cool, I might get one in the future. Is there any other "beginner" spiders that you recommend?

LoL, that looks like an exact list I ordered some months ago. All of them are great Ts. The P murinus will be interesting if you've never had one, along with the H mac. Both are very fast and have lots of "personality". Tiger Rumps are cool and colorful. Little skittish and hide a lot while slings. Very Very good list!

GBB are my favorite recomendation for a beginner, first of there one of the prettiest spiders there are. Second they like it dry so there easier to care for, are straight up eating machines. Brachys and Grammys are good but there slow growers as slings and most are fairly expensive as adults.

They are fast and skittish as well, but they make a good spider to cut your teeth on something with some speed. I'm pretty firm believer though that with the proper research and some common sense and respect most people can keep any T regardless of experience.

The first sling that we got was an A.versicolor, and fell in love from there, i would recommend that for a first timer, they are pretty, but VERY quick!!

I heard the GBB are one of the hardest T's to take care of. They like it hot and dry. because there only found in one place in the world and its a desert. Hopefully you did some reading on the GBB before you bought It I like the tiger rump out of all of them
