Im looking for a good first/beginner tarantula to call my own, and I have a few specifications and "requirements"/wants, so i figured there is no better place to ask around than here.
-Not too expensive in upfront and long-term costs, but i'd be willing to dish out a few extra bucks
-i'd prefer something that can web
-Something shy or rarely seen works just fine. The less visible to arachnophobic housemates, the better.
-Something food aggressive, i'd like a reliable eater that won't turn down food before i leave for a week's time.
-I keep a couple centipedes, including an 18cm Scolopendra dehaani, which i find quite easy to care for, so a tarantula with a little maintenance like extra moisture or something isn't off the table for me.
-Fast growers would be best. i don't think i could make a 30-year commitment with a g.Rosea
-Old or new world doesn't matter
These are all just preferences, any suggestions you guys have that don't meet all of these specifications is perfectly fine. The only requirement that is an absolute must is that it can't kick hairs. Urdicating hairs and strong venom are O.K, but absolutely NO hair kicking!
