: Hi
: yeah,of course you studied them! i you would have done you would have found out
: that SPIDERS are highly endangered,very expensive and difficult to care for! to get further stuff on
: them read further below in the list!!!
: Beginners Torts: Sulcatas,horsfields and hermanns!
: These species are mostly captive bred and the hardest species available, if you choose hermans you should not take
: the western type (harder to keep and more exepensive!)get the eastern one T.h.boetgeri!

I would not suggest a Sulcata for a beginner, or anyone else who doesn't have the room they require. They may be easy to care for, but the get VERY large!
