You should be able to get tongs at the show Meph.

The OBT did make it out
He took off and I caught him. I'm hoping I can pair him a couple more time with each female. Then hope they don't molt.

Girls get bigger and live a lot longer. They also cost more if verified.

When I get my spider, do I have to get it as a tiny baby?

Ok. I think I'd be a bit scared to have a tiny spider as my first. I'd be scared of accidentally squashing it.

Also, is it better to get a female since they live longer?

Yes, like i told meph, id look at T's around 3/4"-1". Slings that size will already be eating more normal sized prey.

You can, but you cant usually sex tarantulas until theyre 3"+. Get one and if it ends up being a male sell it to breed and get something else. Or get 3 slings and your chances of getting at least 1 female goes up a lot
