Ok I want to get a turantula but I don’t know what one to get... I’ve never had spiders before(besides the ones in the corner of my ceiling) and i’m actually kinda scared of them... I wanna face my fears..lol.... Can someone help me out with picking one that is easy to care for and one that has normally a good temperment???......And i want it to be med-lrg size cause for some reason its the small ones that scare the hell outta me......
Thanks

Try either, G.Rosea, G.Aureostriata, B.Smithi, or A.Avicularia. Just keep in mind, Avicularia species require a higher humidity, yet need good ventilation.

keep in mind Avics can be pretty quick and flighty but if it’s arboreal I love it.

I am new to tarantula keeping also, and got one for the same reason; to get over my fear of spiders. I just picked up a b.smithi, mainly because of their appearance. Of the ones mentioned above, they are all fairly docile and easy to keep. I had a hard time picking between the starter T’s, but it came down to longevity and appearance really. My next one will likely be a rosea. I simply chose the smithi because they have more color.
Mine seems to be relatively calm and I have held it for a few short periods.

Go with a Grammostola Rosea. They are brown to various reds. They are very cheap to buy. You can purchase one from a pet store for some 30 dollars. Keep in mind that a larger one will be worth less, but not live as long. They are Very easy to look after. Keep a log in there, with normal bedding, and a clean water dish and they are very happy campers. Feed them a cricket around 2 times a week and there you have it :).
