[QUOTE="Dave Jay, post: 140879, member: 27677"] Welcome Major! Good to see you on here, it's certainly one of my favourite forums, you wont be sorry you joined. There aren't any non-venomous tarantulas, but New World tarantulas have venom that is not as potent as Old World tarantulas, however OW don't have irritating hairs to flick at you and most NW do. All Australian species are OW and to me that's good, I don't plan on being bitten so I can do without the hairs! I don't know whether to tell you to read the bite reports or not to be honest, I don't want you to change your mind! This forum supports keeping a wide range of animals, not just Tarantulas so you'll find a subforum to suit any of your pets or interests. I look forward to seeing how you go and what you get, I wouldn't limit myself to small species, a sling takes time to grow, I'm getting impatient now and wishing I'd bought a couple of larger ones. Catch you around the traps! [/QUOTE]
