Re: new spider
My first was a Rose hair where my daughters first are Euathus sp red (Chili Flame Red), A.Avic (Pink Toe) and B.Albopilosam (Curly Hair).
The best two to go for are Chile Rose very docile and the other is Euathus sp red which is ideal for novice.
Bit of info on the Flame.
Adults are a deep velvet black with small white hairs. There most attractive feature is the intense orange/red tuft of hair on the top of the abdomen and an orange ring around the spinnerets. These are a nice slow moving, docile species that will not bite or flick hair ideal for novices but unusual another to interest advanced keepers.
Pic of what my daughter sling look like and what it looks like a adult depending on what sex it is.
The male is the first attachment.
A word of warning once you get one it doesn't stop there i began with one Rose Hair who helped me with my fear of spiders and now there are 6 species which are.
Chili Rose, Chili Flame, Curly Hair, red Rumps, Pink Toe and Red Baboon.
