And I won't, As I said before, I have my mate who will give me plenty of help, so I should get along fine with them

My moms not too impressed with my new love for T's but she's going to have to get over that ^^

Its not so much the care its the aggressiveness + behavior. Finding out a highly aggressive spider can jump as it gets CM's away from your finger is not a good way to start the day.
Just use tongs...big ones.

Hmmm... not ideal 2nd lot of spiders really... Pretty venomous and quick and readily bite.. Trust me, tongs are not a preventative... as they like to run up them!!

yeah I find a shield works better that sounds extreme I know but you can quickly block off the route of a spider and give you valuble composure time.

Your all probs' right as you all are alot more experienced than me!!!!

I am taking into account all your saying so i hope your all not thinking im ignorant or going into this blindly lol!!!

If I end up finding them too much to handle I guess i'll just have to find someone with abit more experience in the species, though I think i'll do fine with them, half of my reptiles are aggressive/skittish, but I give them the respect they deserve so at least im not going to be messing around with the T's!!!

any advice would be nice to make sure i dont get bitten etc lol

I like to give the most care to my animals !!!
