Pet Tarantula question?

Lots of T owners, as they refer to themselves, don't really handle their tarantulas. But the two beginner species (and can be handled) are Chilean rose hairs and pink toes or Avicularia. Rosies are ground dwellers and pink toes are tree dwellers. You can acquire these at PetCo usually. There's also a great spider site a href="http://www.arachnoboards.com" rel="nofollow"http://www.arachnoboards.com/a with commercial and private sellers listed and care information and a message board for questions.
