getting my 1st spider

[mark1982]

Ok like the title says im getting my 1st spider on sunday and i just know that im going to be very tempted to get more than 1. What im getting at is do you think i should just get the 1 for now and see how it goes or would you just go for it. I have researched for a while now and made loads of notes etc on each species that im interested in keeping. Money isnt a problem and i wont be skimping on 1 enclosure so i can afford another.Thanks for taking the time to read this post.

Thanks.

I spend most of my spare time in my reptile room so they definately wont be neglected and i think i am just going to go for it and get 2-3.

Thanks.

Get lots as quick as you feel is acceptable. Be carefull though as before you know it you WILL be over run with spids. No point telling you to keep at 1 as you'll only do the opposite and go for it
