I agree with the above. Rosehairs have a more docile temperment and actually tolerate being handled. Good luck!

Rosy's are great starter T's and cheap too! But also in the
same family is the Grammastola pulchra (not sure of the common name)
they have the same temperment and size of the rose hair, but
are solid black in color. They are real shiny and soft feeling, almost
look like they are made out of velvit.

Pink toes, mexican red-knees, rose hairs...It does matter what you get. You wouldn't want to get a goliath bird-eater for a starter. I also hear that Baboons are very bad as beginners. Check your favorite search engine and search for tarantulas. There are a whole bunch of sites with cool info about them. Good luck in purchasing one!

All this talk about Tarantulas is making my hair itch.
