I can see why this could happen,since most people just see it as a spider nothing more nothing less and have no caring feelings towards it. I am just glad someone with an adult attitude received that T,and chose to join here and first addressing the fact they needed help and asked for it. This could have easily played out badly for the T or people involved. We as hobbyists should correct peoples behaviour who would even think of just giving a T away to an inexperienced keeper,and praise those who are willing to step up and say you know what I need help. So Hungry I agree incorrect behaviour in giving a T away,but on the flip side glad this person had the guts to step up and ask also the maturity to look for answers.</blockquote>
