Like I said though,  you seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders.  I just feel that not every person is going to be as responsible,  that's why I try to deter noobs from purchasing OW species. I just feel like too many things can go wrong. Random Note: I hate using the abbreviation "T". That's why I always just spell out the word tarantula. Random, I know,  but that's just a pet peeve of mine. [emoji14]</blockquote>
