[QUOTE="CAcowgirl, post: 209610, member: 38360"] Hi Shelbi! Welcome. I'm new to the forum as well. I'd definitely recommend a sling next. They are rewarding to raise. If you don't already know, if you ever find your T on its back and barely wiggling its legs, it's in the middle of molting. Let it do its thing and don't put it on its belly. It should finish within an hour (if a sling) or several hours (if adult, it could need more than 2-3 hours but hopefully not more). My recommendations for slings are most new world terrestrial tarantulas... Brachypelmas and Grammostola. Just know that G. rosea are slow growers. And B. boehmi can be skittish. G. pulchra are expensive ($40 is a really good price for retail but likely $60+) but hardy and stunning. B. hamorii are adorable, and generally good natured as adults. [/QUOTE]
