The Best Beginner Tarantula Species

UPDATED VIDEO 2019:    • The Top 13 Beginner Tarantulas As Chosen B...   THE LEG IN THE VIDEO AT 9:02 IS FROM AN OLD MOLT! Read the text version HERE: https://tomsbigspiders.com/2014/11/09... Disclaimer: Any of these species could make a good beginner tarantula. The order of this list is my opinion and not a gold standard. Please don't feel personally slighted if your favorite didn't get the top spot. :) This video was a long time coming. Although I'd done videos on all of these species separately, I've never put them all together in one video. I was inspired to do this after watching a couple videos by some other keepers who, I felt, made lists more to be controversial and not so much to be fair and helpful. Also, although I generally don't handle, I DO mention it in this video as I'm not blind to the fact that many do and, more importantly, many NEW hobbyists do. Personally, I think the temperament of all of these species would be perfect for anyone not handling. WARNING: This is a looooong one!
