Notice that "Intermediate" is in quotes? That's because designating certain species as "beginner", "intermediate", and "advanced" can be quite tricky. I've seriously had OBTs that were super calm and C. versicolors that were crazy. In this episode, I'll present 11 tarantula species along with the traits that make them good stepping stone spiders for folks looking to keep the more "advanced" species..
This list is ONLY meant to offer some suggestings and is not intended to be the be-all, end-all on this topic.
