Still new here and new to the hobby. If this is inappropriate, or in an inappropriate place, please remove it.
I've only recently started my collection. I have 3 slings now with 4 on the way and that is going to be it for a long while until I move into a larger place and have more disposable income. I also want to make sure that I am not jumping in too fast and that I have time to care for all of them. I see on here and in other forums, on YouTube, etc. about how "you're going to want OWs eventually", and I just think "No. No I'm not." There's nothing against them of course, and many are breathtaking, but I don't want to deal with the speed, the defensiveness and the worry. There's also really none out there that make me go "yes, I'd like to own one at some point." I feel like there's enough variety (in terms of temperament, looks and husbandry) in the NW realm to keep me pretty entertained for pretty much my entire life, but I always see people saying that "X" OW is essential to everyone's collection, and then I think that I have the wrong idea. I know that I shouldn't care about what other people think and that I'm my own individual with my own goals, but I am human and am thus sometimes still prone to care anyway lol. So is it ok to never really get into OWs? Is there anyone else out there that feels the same? Again sorry to sound like a whiny child. I just think too much sometimes lol. Thanks in advance for any insight that you more-experienced keepers give me.
