A SPIDER????

[herp_chick]

Well, those of you who know me, know that I am terrified of spiders. awhile back, Overtech posted pics of his 2 new spiders. My youngest son has wanted one for several yrs, and my answer was always "Not in MY house!".....lol. Anyway, I kept looking at the pic that Dave posted of his pink toe, it was so pretty, and didn't totally creep me out like most of the others. So I told my son, if we ran across a pink toe, we would get one, but HE has to do all the touching, I can't do that.....lol. (I haven't ever seen a pink toe anywhere around here, so thought I was safe). Well, lo and behold, what did I run across at the pet store tonight? You got it, a small pink toe. So, because I try to keep my word when I give it, we brought it home.
It is in a tiny little plastic box. Well, about 6x4x6 inches. So tomorrow, we will set about making her(I believe), a nice home in a bigger aquarium. I will say in her defense, she is really pretty, and I don't get the creepies when I look at her. I have been watching her since we brought her home and it is fascinating. But, I have NO desire to touch her.....lol. I know a lot of you guys keep T's, and I read a couple of GOOD caresheets, but any advice will be appreciated. Thanks, and wish me luck. If she escapes, you will be reading my untimely death in the paper. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_lol.gif[/img]

Thanks, BWW! I did find a pretty good care sheet, but I'm sure as a "newbie" I will have questions. Thanks for the advice and the offer of future help! As for the holding?? I don't know about all that [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] .
