Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tomoran" data-source="post: 36330" data-attributes="member: 1152">There is just so much, that I wouldn't know where to begin quite frankly. Martin brings up some very good points. I do feel that anyone who is getting into this hobby should be prepared to research, research, and research some more. Find an appropriate beginner level species with easy husbandry and a gentler disposition, then start researching specific information about this T. Consider a proper enclosure set up, substrate and hide.There are so many care sheets online with misinformation, that it's not as simple as just looking one up and sticking to it for care. Look up several sheets and see what the commonalities are. Make sure that the information is current and accurate. Even better, get on the boards and read current information by folks who keep these species. Ask questions from those with more experience (I think this board has a very friendly atmosphere), and don't be afraid to make beginner queries (although, if you research, a lot of these will be answered for you!). Be prepared before you purchase your targeted T so that your new pet doesn't suffer for it. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
