In general the best "beginner" tarantulas are the ground dwellers or burrowers, as they tend to be a little slower moving. The following are among the best tarantulas for first time owners:

* Chilean Rose (Grammostola rosea)
* Costa Rican Zebra (Aphonoplema seemani)
* Mexican Redknee (Brachypelma smithi)
* Mexican Redleg (Brachypelma emilia)
* Desert/Mexican Blonde (Aphonopelma chalcodes)
* Curly Hair Tarantula (Brachypelma albopilosum)
