Welcome!

It's hard for anyone to tell you what to get without knowing you, what kind of tarantula you're interested in, and what your comfort level is with them. For example, the chromatopelma cyaneopubescens is a popular beginner species because it's got beautiful, vibrant colours and is a heavy webber, and it's very easy to care for, but they can also be quick and a bit bolty, so they're suitable for some beginners and not others.

Are there some specific ones out of the ones pictured that you want to ask for opinions on? If you search the scientific names of the ones you're curious about, you should be able to find lots of info on the boards. Generally, if you're a beginner, you'll want to look for species from the Americas rather than Asian or African species.

Any of the new worlds should be easy to care for. ! The nhandu maybe?
Some seems cheap like Brachy the rest are expensive .

 

[goofyGoober99]

Buy them all
Fr tho it might be easier if you decide whether you want an arboreal or terrestrial species, what size you want (a couple of the options are dwarf species), what sort of tempermant you're more comfortable with, and with how much speed you're ready for .
I would probably avoid the OWs and the Psalmopeus as a 3rd tarantula.
That should hopefully cut the list down to a more manageable size and from there you can go off what you think looks cooler lol.
If it were me I would get the N. incei but that's cause I really like dwarf species .
Good luck!

only buy from there if you are content with being robbed...heck a theif in a back alley might not get as much from your wallet.

Dont be so excited that you make a financial mistake.

I was wondering how big these T’s are at those prices. If this is your only option of where to buy, go with the T vagans. A little lesser cost and a beautiful T.

 

[kingshockey]

do your research for all of them and then just buy them all or the one you like most and feel able to care for properly.

Those prices are obscene if t

Is your current one full grown yet? How long have you had it? You should really wait until you gain more experience. There will always be Ts, and many people get some then get bored.

What will you do with the animals once you are 18 assuming you leave home? Your pulchripes if a sling and female could live another 30 years.

also whats your plan for when you go to college whose going to care for them?

If you do want a second T, consider a Green Bottle Blue (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens) and raise it from sling. Beauties when small and completely different and stunning when grown.
Also can be a more active T and like said before heavy webbers.
I have it next to my T. albopilosus so 2 very different T's, but both are often out in the open to enjoy.

Whichever you like and is safe for you financially

How long have you kept Ts? And what do you have apart from the G pulchripes?

this is Very important as they can live 10+ years .

Well, you've already got a terrestrial, go with a pink toe, & see what you think. You could probably find better prices online, though shipping can sometimes break it.

only buy from there if you are content with being robbed...heck a theif in a back alley might not get as much from your wallet.

Dont be so excited that you make a financial mistake.

If he's in like NY or LA, or some other big city, those are probably reasonable let shop prices..
