Re: Considering a T
Many of the Brachypelma, especially B. smithi, have a well deserved rep for being hair "flickers". Still if you luck out with a really docile one, they are very hardy and, IMO, quite attractive.

Yes you are right about them being flickers. I forgot about this because the hairs rarely affect me.
A sling is a good idea, but I would get 2-3 because they have a higher tendency to die. Just remember NO OVER WATERING!!! I always kept my slings in a small vial. Tarantulas do not need large enclosures and tend to do better in smaller enclosures. I tong feed mine. The last thing you want is a loose cricket in with a tarantula that is about to molt.
Just some random answers to questions I had when I first got my tarantula
Just remember get what you want. If you ever have questions, post. No question is stupid. I will do my best to answer with my past experience.
Good luck T hunting.
