New to the forum. I don't do social media (except for this now!) Been keeping a couple years and I have about three dozen New Worlds. Loads of fun and very challenging once in a while.

Hello and welcome. :)
It must be time to try some Old Worlds.

Maybe. Wifey not crazy about the idea of Old Worlds. I didn't bother her with the fact that a P Irminia isn't much better. Or getting plugged by any one of my big fat spiders. Nevertheless, I've never had an escape or a bite so it is moot. I don't handle my T's or take them out except when rehousing.

My first ever T was an OBT followed by a P. metallica then I moved onto New Worlds. As long as you're aware of their possible behaviour you'd be fine with them. I honestly don't see much difference between NW and OW in the way they behave, treat them all with respect and you can't go far wrong.
