Personally I got my first old world a month into the hobby and it was a P. Regalis. Bottom line is it is different for everyone when they feel comfortable getting an old world, if you feel confident with your skills as a keeper and you treat your T’s with respect (knowing that they are venomous animals) then there is no harm in getting one.</p></blockquote><p></p>
