It's nice to see a person who is just starting out who has  something besides a G.rosea. Nothing against people who do (My first tarantula was a Rosie), but there are so many species out there that are more beginner friendly. Personally I don't have the patience to raise a B.smithi from a sling (I bought mine as a juvenile) since they grow so slow, but you'll love it when it starts to get some color. Even the males are gorgeous. These are all very easy to care for. Just give them something to hide under and a water dish (bottle cap for the sling, it won't drown either) ,and keep the substrate dry. Very non-demanding spiders.</p></blockquote><p></p>
