I've never owned a spider, but they have always fascinated me and I am very interested in getting a tarantula. I've very recently started doing a little research into the different tarantula breeds. Below I've listed the ones I've come across that interest me the most and why they interest me.
1. Grammostola pulcha (Brazilian black): beautiful, fairly large size, known to be calm
2. grammostola pulchripes (chaco golden knee): large size, good eaters, known to be calm, busy bodies, fast growing
3. brachypelma albpiloseum (curlyhair): usually captive breed, known to be calm,
4. brachypelma smithi (mexican red knee): usually captive breed, beautiful coloration, mild temperament
I would like a docile breed, larger is better, I like black coloration or bright colors (but that isnt the most important factor), and a breed that is active is preferrable.
Any input on which breed is best for a beginner is appreciated. Please comment on what I've listed and also let me know about other great beginner breads. I'm unsure of the best place to purchase from too, so help with that would be awesome!
I currently have 3 cats, 1 sun conure parrot, and 1 rat as pets. I'm not sure if that matters.
Thanks,
Amber
