[QUOTE="Oursapoil, post: 202591, member: 33266"] I agree with VaporRyder on many level but would like to point out that the T. apophysis has the worst uricating hair of the tarantula word and I would most definitely avoid this species with children at all cost. Having the 4 largest Ts (T. Blondi, apophysis, stirmi and LP) I would most definitely consider the LP as you best and most cost effective option. When it comes to prices, you have to decide if you would like to raise the T from an unsexed sling (a little bit more difficult and fragile than a juvenile or adult, finding very small prey items might also be tricky) or a sexed Juvenile to adult. A juvenile or adult sexed female will cost a lot more than a sling (LP slings are usually quite inexpensive considering the size of their egg sacs). First thing first I would set a budget (do you still have the enclosure from the "floss" T you previously had?) and look at place like Fearnottarantulas: [URL]https://fearnottarantulas.com/[/URL] They are friendly and a great place for people fairly new to the hobby as they have kits with your sling and everything you'll need to get it started including enclosure, substrate and food to last you a couple of months. The complete package for a LP is at $54. Getting one for each of your spider loving boys, plus shipping should cost you around $200 (I am sure you can reach out to them and ask for a small discount if you are taking 3 packages). Hoping this helps, sending you, your boys and especially your wife tons of positive vibes. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
