Default good display spider

Hi i would like to get a nice pretty spider that i can have on display in my living room, one that gets to a decent size would be great, i have asked my tarantula mad son 'luke' but the only one he came up with is a 'metallica' apparently it's really expensive too, so to get a unbiast response i am posting on here as well.

we have a peru purple she is stunning but hides quite a bit, is there a tarantula happy to show herself, big and beautiful that anyone would recommend as a 'display spider'

Poecilotheria metallica are one of those species you have to check on and disturb to see if they are still alive, lol
I woudl say a good bet would be one of the big terrestrials, pamphobeteus sp. or something becuase they spend alot of time out in the open on display. Theyy get to a big size, are very pretty and the males are stunning purple in colour. a trat for mating time

Def and Lasiodora Parahybana or Lasiodora Klugi. I have 2 Para's and 1 Klugi. Klugi's also get a bluey colour when fully grown. Our Klugi is only a sling, about 1 1/3 inch at mo, and our 2nd Para is about 3 inches, but here is Madam Octa, our Para. She is about 6 inches at the mo. Probably get to about 10 inches. She is out in the open ALL the time!

Madam Octa
