Sorry this is so long :/
Previous exp:
· Many different true spiders including Eratigena atrica of which I mated and had many spiderlings from.
· Red clawed scorpion (very defensive specimen)
· Vietnamese rainbow millipede
· A. avicularia (plus my brother's B. smithi and his G. Rosea; been caring for them for the last 2 weeks)
· Newt
· Corn snake
My Ideal but probably non existent 2nd T:
· A (confident) step up
· heavy Webbing would be cool
· room temp.
· Humidity is negotiable but obviously I'd prefer dry substrate if I can get it
· size>4inches med-fast grower
· Maybe a little more on the rare side
· I like striped knees, star-bursts, gold, green, red, not block colours (not GBB sry lol)
My own (terrible) ideas:
· N. chromatus
· A. seemani
· X. immanis
· P. chordatus
· A. franki (not actually a tarantula I know)
· C. fasciatum
· P. cambridgei
· M. balfouri
I know that some of these seem too much of a step up for someone's second T, with being in the hobby for 8 months however I am fairly confident in my abilities and I am quite careful, respectful and deliberate in my movements. Also I have a limit set on me as to how many T's I can have as I'll be going to uni next year so I can't have a wholesome collection of each "skill level" of Tarantula unfortunately. I am going to be trying to gain experience from the extended lengths of time (next 4-5 years ) I have between each step instead of getting lots of inbetweeny T's to move me up though plus I'll be starting with them as spiderlings. Whatever the case I'm sure there will be some criticism and controversy about this but I'm prepared for that
Please, please help me, I've been spending every free second of the last 3 months trying to figure this out, I'm on the brink of insanity and it is seriously affecting my ability to do my college homework
