If you're thinking about getting one then definitely start off with a sling so its smaller and easier to work with. Go for a docile, slow moving species. As it grows, so will your confidence in working with it. I don't really handle my T's unless they come out to me or mayyyybe during a transfer. They're more look but don't touch pets. Especially the Old worlds haha. They make great pets because literally all you have to do for months on end is feed and water them. Rehouse only when they outgrow whatever you have them in. Easy!

Lmk if you have anymore questions.
