Hi,
I'm a completely newbie T owner. I picked up 2 slings at the White Plains reptile expo back in September. One is a B. albopilosum and the other is a Euathlus sp. red. There will be another White Plains reptile expo towards the end of November and I was wondering if there's a third species of Tarantula that would be a good choice to pick up. I'm an arachnophobe and would only want docile species. I only want to buy a sling and I was wondering if there was a species that grows at a slow to moderate speed(faster than albo or euathlus sp red) but is also very docile once it's an adult. Any suggestions? I was thinking about a eupalaestrus campestratus or a Grammastola pulchripes. However, I don't like how big a size the pulchripes can get to and I've also heard that they can be moody and become defensive or bite unexpectedly. Mind you, I would never handle any of my Ts.
