So, I am fairly new to the T hobby. I have 4 T's, my first was a G. rosea that I got back in September, and since then I have acquired a B. smithi sling, an adult A. metallica, and an A. avic. Of course, these are all pretty easy to handle, they don't mind when I clean around in their cage, and they are pretty docile and stationary.
Well, I just found a 10 gal tank at my local Savers for 5 bucks, so naturally I am itching for a new addition to my collection. I usually try to search around online in the ads for people who are trying to get rid of their spiders so that I get spiders that need new homes with keepers that understand how to properly care for them...and...I came across someone selling their adult femal OBT.
So, here's my question. How long should I keep T's before I am ready for a more aggressive sp? How different is caring for an OBT or other aggressive/fast/etc sp from caring for the few T's I already have? What advice can you guys give to get ready and feel prepared and confident about caring for a more challenging spider?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
