T seladonia is stunning if you can find one for reasonable price.
it would be a waste and probably die the ops friend cant even put the effort to research into buying a t so its not likely the guy would put the effort into researching for the care of one either

Yes, I have to agree with you on that. I didn't want to come off as extremely mean but yeah he's not even putting the effort into researching anything.

To be honest, I'm reluctant in suggesting him some T's. I'm waiting for his suggestion on what he wants to get but he didn't say beginner species like Brachypelma or any T's at all. I'm only one keeps suggesting. I always said to him that do some intensive research about T's before getting one. He keep saying he wants to see the takedowns and the coloration. I mean it's not bad to like those but do some research still. He didn't buy a T yet and I'm reminding him to do research of the species he wants to get.

If you have to put all this effort in and him do nothing then he's too irresponsible in caring for any animal.

Instead convince him to forget about these or any animals.

There are tonnes of accounts on YouTube that share clips of those things and display all the cool colours. Your friend can live vicariously through those and not spend any money. Also means no living creatures potentially being ignored during the long periods they may *not* be feeding or showing themselves.

Perfectly fine to find a creature fascinating but decide one isn't equipped to care for it. Responsible even.

D. diamantinensis. Really active and gorgeous colors. They're a dwarf species but are really fun to keep. IMG_20240101_225450144_HDR~2.jpg

The more I hear about your friend the more I want to recommend a C lividus... Something that will make him pee himself a little bit. You did say blue... 🤣

Don't let him get anything you don't want to inherit though.
