Default Nice Display Tanks

Hi All,
I'm returning to the hobby after a long absence and wonder what is available to make a good visual display for a T. I have looked at the very sexy Exo Terra stuff and I'm tempted to go with one of those. Any details and piccies of nice set-ups would be appreciated,,,

I'm thinking of coming back with a Giant White Knee, any thoughts. I havent seen any threads on them here.

Cheers

I would go with a Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens, Acanthoscurria Geniculata, Brachypelma Emilia or a Lasiodora Parahybana. The Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens make some stunning webs so would look amazing in a large setup.

I have 3 out of the 4 of them!!

I'd recomend them all, but if I had to stick my neck out and pick one, I'd go with the C. Cyaneopubescens. as said above, they make stunning webs and they're gorgeous to look at!

Those webs are amazing, as is the colouration of the sider, but hardly a good display animal buried somewhere in the back of the web.
Thanks for the pics tho

Anymore takers for the challenge of best display animal and enclosure?
