I really do love the Versicolors, but they seem awful fast. However, I don't think I'd have the T out that much because I live with parents and my siblings who all really don't care for spiders especially my brother. I just don't want an accident to happen where it zooms off some how and falls. I would really be devastated. I still have lots to learn, probably won't get a T for at least a month or two.The Tarantula Keeper's Guide is a good start. Order that first. Also, I highly recommend Avicularia Versicolors. They have beautiful color from slings to adults- truly a unique coat. They can't flick hairs (they rub their opisthosoma on you to lodge hairs, don't worry about it), they only need misting every couple of days, their webs are complex as well as beautiful, most are pretty docile, and they are slightly less prone to death when dropping due to the fact that they are arboreal species. Also, they're out in the open a lot and are very active. If I could, as previously mentioned by someone else, go back in time to my first T, I would definitely invest in a 3.5" Versicolor. They are an OK price, very common nowadays, I could go on forever. Just, get an Avicularia Versicolor.
Grammastola Pulchra's OK too, if you want a pet rock for most of the time.
