GBB's are beautiful T's, can't go wrong, they are nice display T's and they normally don't have an aggressive temperament. They grow fast and don't struggle to eat.

I would suggest getting a P. ornata, was my first Pokie and I have never looked back, just give them lots of space to run around in then they won't feel threatened when you have to stick your hand into their enclosure to do stuff, but don't push it with them, they are very very fast and will bite you and I have heard it is incredibly painful.

P. irminia is also good as Kudu mentioned, but they are really fast and will also bite, did i mention fast!!!

P. cambridgei (Trinidad Chevron) is also a very pretty spider, and not too aggro and likes to sit in the open perched on some corkbark.

Good luck with your next purchase, keep us posted, and remember to take pics.

Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens "Green bottle blue" is the most beautifully coloured tarantula. Also called the "Jewel of the hobby". I bought 14 slings when I stated the hobby "back-in-the-day" I now have 2 Huge females and they are a marvel to look at. Easy to keep and no fuss Genera. Enjoy them they never fail to amaze me ever when feeding them

Howzit.

My 2c.

Arboreal -- Psalmopoeus irminia - Venezuelan Suntiger
Terrestrial -- Grammostola pulchripes - Chaco Golden Knee

Ooooh ooooh oooooh!!!!!!! My turn.

Firstly a wink at PokieQueen.... a woman so close to my heart..... vive la Pokie!!!!!!!

Also my personal preferences here...

Burrowing: I love my M robustum alot...
You mentioned H lividum... that was my second T and only after more than a year do I have the privilege to see my lividum out more often.... there was times that months would past without me noticing it outside or just seeing little feet sticking out.

Arboreal: doesnt take much to guess here.... Pokies pokies pokies!!!!!! The more the merrier :evil::lol:

Hope you find what T's work for you. Enjoy the hobby

I am trying to buy a female GBB from a guy but now I cant get hold of him. I really want one and the other female I inquired about was sold yesterday. I dont really want to get a GBB sling cause i want a female and with a sling its a 50/50 gamble but it looks like i might have to go that route!

I might have a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens MF to sell soon, I am just waiting on her to drop an egg sack or to molt out. She is a real slut so rather slowly save some cash and wait and buy the female if you want? Will sell her @ R1300
