I totally get it! I used to catch bumblebees in an empty water bottle and put the bottle right up to a web, and boy was that satisfying to see a big fat spider take down a plump bumblebee!!

Would these stereotypes apply to players on a mormon basketball team? How about your local chess club? Or what about a Jane Austin book club? A resounding NO is the answer you'll get if you're willing to look beyond the surface. You really think these are so arbitrary, yet when you look at ANY...

50.7% of votes on the poll (at the time of writing) went towards options that acknowledged some or all of these stereotypes, so HALF of the people who have responded acknowledge that these stereotypes exist. You have every right to belong to the other half of people who think otherwise. But...

I think after seeing your response and previous ones, I'm realizing there is no shame in this hobby. As you say, we can easily lump everyone together and make judgments. I'm really happy with the feedback I've gotten so far and yours is no exception! I'm sorry to hear you live with a major...

That's awesome! Are there that many evictions happening to give you guys all this business?! And how do you get notified? Do you just network with property management companies? Sounds like a great business idea!

I have every right to challenge what I perceive to be other's self-denial if I am convinced there is truth behind my statement. However, you're correct in stating that it's ad hominem, since I phrased it in a way that strongly suggests that one is lying if they don't see it the way I see it. A...

Haha you're the first to ever comment on this! It's 100% a joke, of course Darwin didn't say this, it's merely to illustrate that the P. Murinus is so notorious it should have captured the attention of one of the world's greatest naturalists. A tangent on history: maybe I just don't get the...

That's a good point! I might do that depending on how many people respond and agree with your recommendation. Thanks for your feedback!

I have been a keeper since about 2003 and this hobby has brought me much joy. There is no small degree of satisfaction that comes with keeping for these adorable and fascinating little creatures, and this comes with a sense of self-expression as well. The title of this thread, however...

Congrats, enjoy! I had a T. Albo. and G. Porteri 20 years ago and when I got back in the hobby 5 years ago, I bought a P. Metallica sling. Fantastic way to get back into the hobby with a blue T.

By far the boldest I've kept with the sharpest feeding response: Lampropelma Borneo Black

Hey everyone, Throughout the years, there have been new tarantulas entering the hobby. Many of these were largely uncelebrated, some were considered a treat, and few were downright sensational. I came to the hobby in 2016; if memory serves me correctly, the H. Pulchripes and the C. sp...

Great question! We were homeowners with a decent house and we have downsized temporarily; renting a small duplex with way less room. Hopefully, eventually I can rebuild my collection once we move into something bigger. But I see how that could be confusing, I could have specified that it's a...

Yes, that would be boring, but I appreciate the recommendations. I'd rather be part of this community and receive feedback than make isolated decisions.

"C.cyanopubescens (self explanatory)" LOL so true

This looks a lot like Tom Moran's top 10 list! Love it

That's a fantastic breakdown! I like how you split it into OW/NW and Arboreal/Terrestrial and Fossorial
