Ya can't really go wrong with that list. I'd just start at the top with the B. smithi and the B. vagans. Very similar care when it comes to both of them. Good Luck!

I wouldn't go for the OWs personally, if your profile is correct and you only have two rosies. I suggest B. vagans, A. metallica, and the GBB.

My vagans is the class clown, and my GBB is just as cute a a little button, so I'd start with those, then the next 2 should be the b smithi and the LP - your 3rd set of 2 would then be the metallica and the livodum - then the 4th would be the OBT and as a bonus, a klaasi (because that's what I want and you did say 2 .... hahahaha) -

and do any of us really believe you're going to stop at 2? {D You remind me of me - I said I wanted a b smithi and a g aureostriata and that was that ... and here we are, 8Ts later .... ;) (and in that regard, next to some of these guys and gals, I'm a total lightweight!)

I'm throwing this out there. B. vagans and GBB. I wouldn't even go with a Haplo until at least you have just about every other T you want. They're defensive and often (spiders vary) tend to earn a "pet hole" reputation.

My recommendations are a GBB and if you're careful, an OBT. Though, since you've only experienced the rosies, A. metallica, or B. smithi also make good choices.

My 2nd T was a P. irminia, which helped pave the way for faster and more defensive species like the OBT. IME, OBT slings aren't so bad.

Personally, I would get B. smithi or B. vagans, OBT, and A. metallica.

But that's just me :D

IMO you can't go wrong with a B. Vagans or B. Cyaneifemur, or even a LP for that matter if you want a larger T. I love the webbing + handleability and looks of the GBB's, such a great combo.

Honestly , i got a L.parahybana - she 14cm , is very docile and full of character , then ive got a l.klugi - she is still small 4cm ( she has just moulted and now actually looks like a klugi - and also lovely but will get realy big ! out of your list i would go for the cobalt blue or the green bottle blue ( always nice to have some colour in your collection :) just for interest sake - how much would you pay for them ?

B vagans and GBB in my opinion. OBT's are scary lol i hate them. I just dont have enough experience To have an old world. But get whatever you want :)
