Message: <blockquote data-quote="JayManges" data-source="post: 166035" data-attributes="member: 31821"><p>I just started this hobby a couple weeks ago and am already up to four T's. A GBB, 2xLP, and an Avicularia Avicularia. Good beginner T's I think most would agree. Yesterday, I found an amazing package deal with five more T's. All NW terrestrial beginners like a B. Hamorii, and a couple B. albopilosums. The thing that has me concerned is this package also comes with a 4"+ P. regalis. Holy crap! Not sure what I am going to do with this thing or how to handle it but I have to be honest in that my anxiety is way up and this thing hasn't even shipped. For all I know, this could be the coolest T ever but at my level of experience, I don't think it is something I should be messing with it. Think I am going to have to wear welding gloves just to feed it. But, given their reputation, I'm not even sure that will help. Not sure if I should sell it, write back and tell the guy to keep it, or employ the trial by fire method of learning to deal with an OW arboreal with a nasty disposition and the propensity to send me straight to the ER. Any advice on dealing with this monster would be appreciated.</p></blockquote><p></p>
