Please note that there was only one specific section of your post that I took issue with, because it was absolutely patronizing and now flashing your experience as justification for your behavior is just icing on the cake. Your genuine advice has been received, as well as from everyone else...

I appreciate the advice, I really do, and I will reconsider handling my T because of it. I just take issue with... Because that's pretty darn patronizing. The assumption that I don't know these things and the risks that come with it is not advice on handling a T, or whether I should or not...

I am confident that I wouldn't toss her. As I said earlier, I am very careful. Let me copy and repeat that: Yes I know that many many people think this is unwise, even so; I know the risks to myself and to her but I am just so fascinated with holding her and touching her. I am -VERY- careful...

Man that is so frustrating. I really wanted to avoid going to Petco or Petsmart, but my options are looking a little slim. :\ Oh well. :(

Hi! I'm pretty new to T's, but I've wanted one for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately my mom refused because she is a bit arachnophobic, but she promised me she'd help me get one once I was out on my own! So I am looking to get my very first spider! I am pretty sure I want a Rose hair. I...
