I just picked up my 1st T last monthLike you, I got her to get over my HUGE fear of 8-legged things. Husbandry seems fairly simple. What is your setup like? You mentioned a 20 Gal tank - I have my sling in a 2 Gal with eco-earth bedding, a hide and & a shallow water dish. 20 Gal seems like over kill, but what do I know
Hopefully your "He" is a "She" since females life expectancy is much longer. Can you get a pic of the underside of your T?
Oh yeah....congrats on taking the steps to get over your phobia![]()
