hi guys i am new to the forum,i am looking to give a spider a home.i already have a flame and a salmon pink.i was looking at a mexican red knee or a colbolt.i know they are differant in behavior but cant make my mind up

Get some Brachypelma sp.
You cant go wrong with those guys they get a good size, always pretty spiders and pretty docile spdiers tho a bit flicky.
Gerenally a good spider for displays too
.
You arent really gonna see your cobalt tbh

you are right,that was the ony down side to a colbolt for me.

My cobolt is out a fair bit, but still its normally hiding. Also Cobolts are in a completely different league from any of those spiders. Check the thread about me almost being bitten and you will see.

Go for the redknee, their out most of the time, and are easy to care for. Cobalts are a T fopr people with experience IMO. They are very fast and will bite if they get the chance. They also spend most of their time in their burrows; one of mine hasn't been seen in 7 months!
