Go with the parahybana, they are excellent fast growing spiders.

Like everyone said....

what type do you prefer. These two seem like the exact opposites of each other not counting the large size. I don't have a Parahybana but I saw one at the Reptile Expo this weekend and it looked so cool. It reminded me of a giant curlyhair. I purchased a juvie Crawshayi about a year and a half ago and it still seems like it hasn't grown a bit:mad:

Go for the pink salmon, I say....I have one that is 1/4 inch bigger now since it has molted, but he/she just molted not even 2 weeks ago and is ready to molt again. They are cute buggers and I cant wait for it to get bigger. Plus they do stay out in the open where you can enjoy them more, where as those burrowers, like my curly hair..all I see is his butt in the air down the side of tank hahaha!!=D

I would go with the Brazillian Pink just the fact they are fast growers. If you get a king baboon it will mature in like around 10 yrs so if you have the patience for that go ahead and also you won' hardly see it.

The Salmon Pink will grow much more rapidly and be in sight more than the crawshayi. I have both species but the King just doesn't seem to increase in size much.
