[QUOTE="testdasi, post: 174475, member: 32655"] Welcome to the hobby and those are some excellent choices! Some pointers: [LIST] [*]You don't need purified water. The water you drink is good enough. I have use tap water both in New England and Old England and never had a problem. [*]You don't really need to worms yet. You can try cutting up a roach. Most slings will scavenge anything so doesn't have to be worm. Cutting a mealworm is easier than cutting a roach, I do admit that. [*]You don't have to go old world (OW) for blue tarantulas. Pterinopelma sazimai (Brazilian blue) is a popular new world (NW) choice. [*]As a stepping stone before going OW, you might also want to get a Psalmopeous specie (e.g. P. cambridgei / P. irminia). [*]If you still decide on OW, make sure to do your research and don't be complacent. As always from me, I recommend Pokies (Poecilotheria species) as a great OW option. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
