Thank you for that and thanks for the reminder about the handling debate. I wasn't even thinking about that as I typed out my request for advice. I have never had an argument about handling, so its not on the forefront of my mind. I don't handle any of mine, and see no reason to, but I don't really care if someone else wants to handle theirs. I've read about strong feelings on the subject one way or the other, but I've never had strong feelings on the subject one way or the other. I'll just avoid that debate.Thank you for the recommend. We seem to share similar interests in spiders. G. pulchra has long been a favorite of mine. I have one 10 year old female and I just bought 10 little slings a couple of weeks ago. I tried to give one to my daughter, but that just wouldn't do. Those are "Dad's" tarantulas. She's got to have one of her very own. I'm going to try and find and order B albiceps tomorrow for father's day. Been wanting that one for a while now too.</blockquote>
