Red kneed tarantulas or Brachypelma smithi are easy to keep, yes. However, they are very quick to kick urticating hairs when disturbed. They itch very badly! If that is not a problem for you, they're a very good species to start off with!

And Rhea, no problem! I'm only happy if I can help people along with the spider hobby.
