Hi all,
I'm a newbie and looking for my first T. I've done extensive reading (yes, actual books, not only online) but haven't been able to get a good answer as to whether obtaining an adult for your first T is better than getting a sling. I understand that slings are a bit more work and suffer higher mortality. I'm also interested to know whether raising a sling has any effect on docility/aggression. I've been more of a mammal/avian person so forgive my asking all these questions.
Btw, I'm looking at the various avicularia for my first. I've met a versi and loved her. I know they are supposed to be more docile but hear there are differences among individual temperments.
Thanks in advance for any help/opinions out there. I've learned alot already through all of my searches on this board and looking forward to hearing from some of you.
