[QUOTE="MichK, post: 27700, member: 2906"] I have always wanted a T, but I never realised that they would be this easy to care for. Only once I researched it did I see it was not so difficult. I also found that if you are willing to take the time to raise slings the hobby is more affordable than I imagined. I purchased my first T from a shop specialising in reptiles. This for me was quite a big deal as the place was full of snakes and I have a morbid irrational fear of snakes. Now I go to the shop often just to chat to the owner and I dont even notice the snakes anymore! I purchased the rest of my T's at a reptile expo were, as one can expect, there were lots of snakes. That was a bit of an ordeal for me, but I went home with 6 new T's anyway. Who knows, maybe my fear of snakes will be conquered. Incidentally, I used to be married to a total arachnophobe who would turn into a screaming blubbering mess at the mere sight of the tiniest spider. Sometimes I giggle at the thought of what he would do now, had we still been married, what with 7 tarantula's suddenly sharing the home! [/QUOTE]
