Hello, this is my first post on Arachnoboards! Kind of intimidating, but I'm very excited to be here and very excited to get into the hobby!
I have done research into what I will need and information to get off the ground as a beginner to the hobby, however when I look into beginner T's, I'm often given examples of docile NW T's that aren't frequent bolters that aren't known for being tremendously defensive. That would be fine and dandy, I understand where that would be good for a newcomer, but I worry specifically about the hairs.
I'm very calm and have never been jumpy, tending to go still when startled, so I'm not at all worried about a bolter, a biter or a defensive T, I know I can handle it and am not afraid to have to catch cup them if they go sprinting and really don't mind having a pet hole. I'm also disinterested in handling the T's, my cousin was very much into handling hers and it made me very afraid of dropping the little thing. My biggest worry is actually with the urticating hairs that are shed by NW T's. I have deteriorating eyesight and sensitive eyes, I have no interest in being within ten feet of a cloud of hairs and damaging or losing what's left of my vision faster than I need to, and therefore very little interest in NW's.
Are there any 'bald' or relatively harmless [hairwise, bring on those teeths] NW's or are there any hardy OW's you would suggest that I may be able to deal with due to my disposition and not potentially harm with my lack of experience if I get the humidity wrong? Thank you very much, hopefully this isn't a question that's been asked a million times!
Have a wonderful day everyone! To break the ice a little more, what was the T that made you fall in love with the hobby? Mine were Monocentropus Balfouri and Chilobrachys Kaeng Krachan!
