The arachnophobe with 2 new pet T's

Well my son has been begging for a long time to have some spiders, and I keep telling him, keep reading about them, keep reading about them... etc. He reads daily about them, educates me on his findings excitedly all the time. We watch youtubes together about them.

Well I have been frequenting a certain reptile dealer's website lately and there was an amazing deal on some 2nd instar Cobalt Blue T's. Mind you I have very little hands on experience with T's, and am pretty afraid of spiders in general, especially T's. The momma of these blew me out of the water, and I know that this species in particular are a terrible choice for beginners considering their speed and powerful venom, but considering we will not be handling them at all but by brushing them into a container to clean the enclosure... I went for it. We are now the proud new owners of two darling little slings. They arrived safely, and I got them into their enclosures without having a heart attack or harming them :P I did a little meditation number to calm my self, knowing that if I was calm and slow, they would respond accordingly, where if I jerked and freaked out, I'd end up getting my face bit off.
