lol :P
Muahaha.. erm.. *cough cough* I didn't do that. Inverts are acutally more addicting than herps. Overall they require less space, and most T's can live at room temperatures without a problem.
Unforunately vet care is a kind of do it yourself thing, and research/discuss with other hobbiests if you can. There are very small number of people doing research on nematodes in T's.
The Tarantula Keeper's Guide By Shultz is a great resource for all kinds of T issues, including getting stuck in a molt and the like.
