Hey everyone
I have a bit of a problem i was in to tarantulas as a hobby last year and started with 1 and ended up with 14 ... then one day my friend was holding one of my spiders and it kicked urticating hair in his eye (his ok now) and i sold all my t's after tht.I now find my self wanting to start collecting again but scared of getting urticating hairs in my eyes or any where ..what can i do ??
could old world species be the solution?

I can't stand the U-hairs from new world tarantulas, so only keep old worlds (And 2 avics, which obviously don't "flick").

Old world's for the win. :)
