Tongs are a must have for species like this. Personally I think buying an OBT as a first tarantula is not the smartest decision. No amount of research is going to prepare you for the real thing. However you've already bought the spider,  so I see no point in scolding you over it. Just be very careful when rehousing or doing maintenance.  Research the bag method,  it'll save you a lot of trouble.</p></blockquote><p></p>
