What do you recommend?

Thx. again guys for all the wonderful feedback. I have 2 in mind that I want but I just dont know what to pick from. Heck, I may just end up with 2 and try and sell my newest rosie. Can't bring myself to get rid of my 1st rosie (1st T ever) with the sentimental value and all. The 2nd one was basically just a rescue T that I felt sorry for. Now shes (Well IT is) big and fat.

So which two do you have in mind? Enquiring minds want to know.

Brachypelma albopilosum is nice, calm spider. It stays in the open a lot.
My spider make a little web.

It pretty much stays where its at when it makes a web but I see sometimes there are little white "Poo Prints" on the glass on the other side, so it must venture at night. I love my Versi though. Its cool how it takes down a cricket as big as they are. The web gets annoying sometimes cause they web a ton on the glass and you cant see em. Just get prepared to be seeing the underside of them alot.

Thanks for the advice! There is a Reptile Expo in my area in a couple of weeks, so I will keep my eyes open.

^^ No problem. The ones im looking at is a sling T. Blondi, GBB, or a A. Geniculata. I know the Blondi is unexpected from what I said I wanted but I think the shock of having such a huge and beautiful T would be cool. GBB because It just looks cool and the web "Feature" it has. I picked the A. Geniculata as a choice because it gets pretty big and its just an awesome looking T. It may be a while before I get one but im an impulse buyer so it may not be to long haha. The only problem I have is I cant find any in any slings or juvenilles on some of these species on the net. Most of the blondi's anyway are 7"-10" and cost about $150.

I have this cool Idea that I want to use in a tank and have heard some people use it in their tank. Its a Misty Mountain Volcano made by Zoo-Med. Has a timer and all. I dont know why but because I want it so bad I might would make my T selection on which one likes the humidity the best, but I guess if you use it correctly it would be fine for any of them. In closing, basically im confused but you see why I would pick each of those 3.

For a big beautiful T once again have to say L parahybana, http://gallery.pethobbyist.com/index.php?photo=174666 maybe its just me but I don't find T. blondies all that great looking? Plus the fact that you can find parahybana's for close to nothing for and sling and also the fact that they are much easier to raise than blondies, from what I have read blondies under the 2" mark are pretty tough to keep alive, But for the T you have listed that likes the highest humidity that would be the T. blondie. Hope that helps a little. Greg
