I just recently got my first spider and am already itching for another. I was aiming for an LP, GBB, or A varsicolor... but then i saw some old world tarantulas and am really intrigued. I have no experience with anything aggressive or even defensive as my B smithi is docile. I don't really want to open my tank and have it jump out at me. I'm not looking to handle them but do want to be able to clean their cages once in awhile without any danger.
Basically what i'm looking for is maybe some tips (or some online guide) to old world tarantulas.. maybe some suggestions as to what specie, and i guess it doesn't have to be OW but something colorful (hence more defensive?)
I just don't want to be cleaning a cage, have an aggressive tarantula escape (cats in the house, as well as a terrified girlfriend) then end up being bit and hurting the T in the process due to my own incompetence.
Any thoughts/suggestions are welcome
Thank you
