Lol! Sorry about that- I was mobile, and trying to find a quick reply thing.. The page didn't reload or anything, so I didn't realize it actually posted something. xD I had to opt off the viewing of avatars/signatures/etc. just so the actual thread would load.. And I thought blackberries were so cool. *sniff* lol. xD
Gaahh. I want to handle something! Lol. Its killin me not knowing.. I love research, but nothing beats personal experience!
Afterthought: As far as the BP handling/buddy versus active any time of the day corns.. I'd probably be more likely to mess with it in the evening or later night, at least for the next year or so. I usually work anywhere from 9:30-6pm, 3-11pm, and the occassional 6:30-3pm shift.. I'd think about getting a tarantula more, but I know I'd be too tempted to handle it. Guess I'll just have to spend a few hours in some pet stores. xD
