Default What would you recommend?

Steve may be looking into his first spid. Of course I have loads, some burrowers, aboreal and terrestrial, and with all my esearch I do on them all he knows quite abit about them too.
He is still thinking of it, and wanted something docile, maybe with the temprament of my brachypelma vagans.
But then again he wants something quite interesting with nice patterns that may be mean looking - the sort that will jump on its food right away or chase it - just overall a meanie lol. Thats not the reason he wants it btw.
What comes to mind is a baboon, or an ornamental, as he woudnt mind a burrower or an aboreal.

chilobrachys fimbriata. They are fabulous as adults, and while they are burrowers, mine at least spends lots of time on top. They lay down some wonderful webbing and are voracious.

Tell him to be careful, a bite can put a healthy adult on their arse for days.
