I started with a female rain spider before I got into Ts.... awesome spiders in my opinion, I have 2 that are females but one is still very young and the bigger one is almost full grown, I hope to find a MM and attempt a mate next year.... will be awesome but yeah good luck with your little babies there I love the acrobatic display my larger female puts on when I feed her moths, she is wild so her immune system should be just fine with garden critters.... but yeah I lvoe her to bits and the other one is growing fast
