      I just bought my first T yesterday, an Avicularia avicularia. They are between 1-1.5in right now, so I'm assuming they are a juvie. Such a cutie, and I cannot wait for them to grow and let me know what their sex is lmao
      Their current hobby is testing all the hidey holes in their wooden centerpiece. I'm excited to see them web up the place when they are fully confident and feeling safe. Big thanks to you and the T community on UA-cam for shedding light on this hobby and helping beginners like me join the club. You and Dark Den in particular are very informative and reassuring for those who want to participate in tarantula keeping for the first time, and I think I have a spoiled little spider in the making ♡

Three rehouses, improper conditions, lack of food, escaping, handling and excessive heat/cold. Yet through it all she's finally in her final enclosure, found what makes her happy and can afford good food every week for her.

    Hi, I'm from the UK. 🇬🇧😊😁. Loved this. Thank you. I'm new to this hobbist. My very first Tarantula I brought was a Gammostola Rosea. I brought her from a neighbour for £20.00.
    Not sure how long my neighbour had her, but I've had her for at least 3 - 3 & a half years. Since then, I've now acquired 5, more T's all Terrestrial.
    This was really lovely to watch your recommendations for different T's for beginners that were not the usual suggestions. I've always wanted to get an arboreal to add to my collection, and also dwaft T's but didn't know what T's to get?
    So glad Richard, that you made this video and included a variety of Tarantulas that I've not or even never considered. Great video, Loved it! Much appreciated. Thank you, Richard, Tarantula Collective. 😊👍🏾❤️😁👍🏾🕷️🕸️

    Soo cool! I just bought my first ever tarantula and it is a caribena versicolor! It is really beautiful! It is alao cool that is makes webs! It is really a great tarantula! I love it and can’t wait to buy more T’s.

    We recently got our 1st T and it’s a female brachypelma Emilia 7 years old and she is absolutely gorgeous! As I was watching the video I didn’t think you were going to include it in your list! So pleased they are 3rd on your list! Definitely a great beginner T. We already looking to get another tarantula so will definitely choose something off this list! Great Vid, thanks!

    Glad you mentioned the Aphonopelma chalcodes beforehand! It seems like I never used to hear about them, but then all of a sudden everyone started singing their praises, and for good reason! I picked up my first sling about three or four years ago, and she’s still one of my favorites, even after picking up some more brightly colored T’s later on. A slow grower, but completely worth the wait! It’s insane to think that she’s just now starting to look like a genuine tarantula, while my Chromatopelma cyanopubescens and Brachypelma boehmei both started to shoot up in size nearly right away!

    Agreed. There are a lot of newly discovered species in the hobby recently which are quite suited for beginners.

    I'm just trying into tarantulas, my first one a couple weeks ago was the caribena versicolor. The other week the guy at the shop said the GBB is a must so ofc I got one. Then he sold me on a golden blue leg. Hoping to get a couple more this weekend, maybe a Mexican fire leg or a pink toe..... and one day an obt

    Awww, versi is #1. My sling, Tribble, is my fave even over my gbb. He is very docile, slow and seems curious about what is going on around him. Very fun to watch while I am working.

    Definitely have the versi and Hommeoma chilensis on my wish list. My pumpkin patch is probably my current favorite in my small collection...it's so chill! My purpurea is Satan and my chalcodes is currently a pet hole.

    My very first T was the Caribena Versicolor, I agree that this is a great beginner. Back then it was also considered an Avicularia so he was housed as a typical Avi. We got him as a very tiny sling and it was amazing watching him develop into an adult with all of the color changes and everything. Unfortunately, being a male, we didn't have him as long as we would have liked but I don't regret it, he was a sweetheart and this was the beginning of my T fascination. I would definitely recommend. ♥ What a great video, I am really interested in the Pumpkin Patch T, have to see if it is available here in Germany...

    Thank you for including dwarf species. They're so much better than most give credit to. Though 99% sure you've got one, the A. hentzi is another highly overlooked and imho one of the best beginners for anyone who is patient. :D

    I purchased my first 2 T’s in April. I caribena versicolour and a grammostola pulchra. Both slings this past weekend I picked up a P. Irminia and P. Pulcher both approx 3.5” I love the colours of the versicolour and irminia and found both to be very active I haven’t gotten a good look at the pulcher and the G. Pulchra has been in a borrow for about 2 weeks now. Thanks Richard for all the great info I always to forward to your vids

      Our G. pulchra also likes to stay underground, but rather than digging its own tunnel it just hollowed out a space under its cork bark... luckily right against the back side of its enclosure. T feels safe and we can see it whenever we want!

    Great list! In my opinion the A.seemanni is the best beginner, mine is such a sweetheart and easy to keep! The only downside I’d say would be mine really and I mean REALLY loves water so the habitat needs to stay humid and he/she will come running to sit under the water stream.😆 thanks for shining some light on some of the more overlooked species!😁🕷

    This has been so useful (along with your other videos). I'm on the hunt (ironic term there) for my first T and your number 1 is exactly the kind of spider I'm looking for...been looking and the obvious Mex Red Knee as that was my first (very positive) experience has been my initial choice. But have been leaning towards the Mex Red Leg (not on most lists). I have been offered a Pink Toe but one that is prone to throwing out urticating hairs so a bit wary...think I'm going to hold out for the Mexican Red Leg or an Antilles Pink Toe...willing to wait and spend the money on the right variety
