Maybe Emilia or Boehmei(Be warned these flick like mad) lol.
Re: help wanted
how about a Greenbottle blue? They are a bit faster than your Grammy or Brachy, but tend to run or flick rather than bite, and they spin really cool webs all over the place.

Yeah I agree Lisa mines abit speedy at times but is docile tbh a few times when moving it or redoing the tank it has been handled and is fine.
They also have amazing colouring.

Re: help wanted
Ooooo so many to choose from!
How about a Psalmopoeus species? Irminia? cambridgei or my fav pulcher! Gorgeous arboreal spiders. But they are bloomin' quick!
Or.... Poecilotheria sp. Get one from a sling and you'll get more confident as it grows
Or of course i'm biased as to go with a Brachypelma species! STUNNING spiders. I have over 20 of them... they're by far my favourites Easy to keep and look after, docile though they may flick. The only downside being that they grow slowly. But raising one from a sling to adult would be a real achievement

Re: help wanted
You'll end up picking up lots of Brachys and Avics at T meetings and shows, so i'd go for a Psalmopoeus cambridgei, Lee has some at the spidershop and they are a beautiful sp, who don't have the sometimes nasty temperament of the irminia. Whilst they are quick specimens they are also very speedy growers and you can expect an adult/subadult from slings in 2 years! Very easy to care for and I find one of the most rewarding to keep.

Re: help wanted
oh thanx for that hun, sounds realy good to me, im going to end up with 50 at this rate,
Re: help wanted
How about a B. albopilosum - Honduran Curly Hair £12
Becky has pix of one on this forum
or P. ornata - Fringed Ornamental £6
for your first introduction into Pokies - easier to keep than Avics, just need a little more respect.
or B. vagans - Mexican Red Rump £6
I think Becky has a pic of one of these too
pm me if you're interested.

Re: help wanted
I'd definitely go for a Psalmopoeus . I've got 2 camdridgei , 2 pulcher and an irminia . Only had the 1 cambridgei for any length of time . Got it September last year as a sling of approx 1-1 1/2 cm it's now got a leg span of approx 5'' . It spends most of it's time in it's web and substate nest but I love watching it whenever it's out and about .

L.Klugi every time, I am having to actively scroll past them on every list I read now and ignore adverts.
