i was just thinking if theres a good beginner t, there should also be a good beginner aggressive t. after having experiences with docile t's it's time to move up the ladder and get more aggressive t's. what are some good beginner aggressive t's? :?

Good aggressive beginner tarantula.
P. murinus hands down. Easy to take care of and pretty easy to find when buying.

I think P. irminia are an excellent stepping stone to faster, more skittish/aggressive/defensive Ts.

My very first T was a Citharischius crawshayi. I heard it said that they are aggressive/defensive. I treat her with respect and she has been a prize.

I just started in the hobby, I own 2 defensive and 1 "aggresive" T. One is a P. cancerides and a H. lividum. I have an aggresive T its unidentified until it molts but it tries attacking me several times without even a threat pose or hair kicking.

I would second the motion that you should get what you want. If you get it as a sling you really get to know it's habits are able to judge it's actions better. The OBT is always a good start - tough as nails, fast as lightening, mean as ....

L. Parahybana
Here you go
L. parahybana, my sling (Spunky) is totally active and facsinating to watch, but it'll flick hairs at anything. And it's so CUTE!
Imagine, if you will, two tight-pants wearing, spiked bracelet, leather clad, manly punks staring at our new L. Parahybana slings, swooning over how cute they are.

My first was P. regalis and to be honest she isn't really aggressive at all. Though, she is teleoportation like fast.

My juvenile T.blondi by far is the quickiest, and most territorial. However my C.crawshayi and P.murinus are runing a VERY close second.

I think all of the above are good choices, great Ts. My P. cancerides is an easy to care for, as is my L. parahybana, which is a fast grower. They both can be defensive, but not near as much as my blondi....but any of the ones listed here are great spiders!
One of the arboreals are good choices:
P.regalis - Nice looking and the closest spider ever to have 'nearly' bitten me!!
P.cambridgei - Fast, Aggressive but in their own way appealing
P.Irminia - Same as the cambridgei but arguably better looking
They are all pretty hardy, but if looks are important then the Regalis wins hands down every time.
I've noticed that there are a few recommendations for Blondi's and although they don't take much s**t from anyone, I wouldn't call them truly aggressive, well that's my opinion of my group anyway
