[QUOTE="Whitelightning777, post: 136792, member: 26980"] Just go and see what's up. You don't have to buy anything just because you go there. For a first OW, it's best to think about the size first even more then the species. I'd suggest between 1" - 2" DLS & no more then that. As they grow, you will simply grow with the spider. For species, either H pulchripes or M balfouri (or maybe even 2 or 3 because they're communal and do better that way) are 2 good ones. Neither is a mean spider, just fast and flighty. Did I mention both are drop dead gorgeous? Use care when unpacking and rehousing. Let them burrow and get fully settled in before feeding. Put a small hole in the lid of your enclosure just big enough for a dropper or syringe directly over the water dish so you don't have to open it to water them. [/QUOTE]
