Mexican red-knee

hello all!

Well, ive been going to a pet store that i adore and ive always been looking at the snakes, lizards, frogs, ect. Now i kinda went to look at the tarantulas and i love the colour of the mexican red-knee. Honestly, im quite afraid of spiders but i wanna grow outta my fear and try to own one. Have any tips anybody?

HI again!

I also want to know if that is a good starter one, or if there is a tarantula in particular which one should i start with?

Snake Lady Thanks in advance!

Well the mexican red knee is a good starter T but they have a tendency to flick hairs and that will make you itch.. I dont have a prob with mine as shes been handled alot and dont flick the hairs anymore..You could also look for a Brazilian black, these are by far the best Ts, wont bite or flick hairs and is a great T for handling. Then there is also the Chaco Golden Knee, the pink toe- fast and alittle skittish, Pink zebra beauty, Texas tan and the Rose hair.. You can find one that your comfortable with not only for a pet but for handling.. The Brazilian Black is not a cheap T because they are so highly saught after for them being such a good first T.. I highly recomend them!!!

Are you asking the price on a brazilian black? or the redknee? over here the brazilain blacks are not cheap as they are very sought after and when they are around they go very very fast as everyone is after them..they run between $40 to $45 for a 2 inch baby and up to $150 for a adult. the red knees are not any cheaper, 2 to 3 inch baby goes for $30 to $60 bucks and a adult around $100 or better..
