This is my g. pulchra (brazilian black tarantula), Spinner. I figured the only way I was going to overcome my fear, was to suck it up and get one. I found this gorgeous girl on CL for $30. This species is a great beginner T. They're very docile.

Your waaaaay more brave then I am. She is a beautiful black. But OMG, I would probably smell of fear and get bit. Then I would drop her and on impulse, probably stomp the poor thing. Not on purpose. Just my reflex when I see a spider.
Enjoy, I hope she helps your fear. Looks like your doing good. Unless of course your not the one actually holding her
