I'm a first time T owner and have had my 3" B.Smithi since July 09. She just molted last night and I'm not sure if everyone remembers their first time, but it really was an amazing experience. I have owned, dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, fish, hamsters and nothing really comes close to comparing...

Six weeks ago I paid $84 for a 3" B. Smithi female.

I can't speak about Rosies, although from reading the many posts on this forum, their temperment seems a little more unpredictable than B. Smithis. I'm new to tarantulas as well and have owned a 3" B. Smithi for about six weeks. I couldn't be happier with my choice. She is a good eater and...

I think you're going to have to get a picture of her/his other side for somebody to properly sex him/her.

That is what I am considering as well. The most that I could see owning at a time is three (it took some time to convince the wife to get one). But then again, I never thought I would consider getting more than one. If they all live 15 to 30 years, it will be tough for me to get to experience...

I should have added that the many knowledgeable people on this forum helped introduce me to tarantulas. There is no way that I would have purchased one before obtaining some knowledge and there are not that many places to turn.

I was speaking with a co-worker who previously owned them. Prior to that, I never even thought about owning one. I'm embarassed to admit that I thought a t bite could kill you. After doing some research and realizing how misinformed I had been, I thought it would be a unique experience. When...

Okay thanks everyone. I think at this stage of the game, I will stick to females.

So I've had my first tarantula, a 3" female B. Smithi, for about a month now. I didn't think I would feel this way, but I'm beginning to research which tarantula will be my next purchase. My question is this, if I only plan to own a tarantula as a pet (no breeding) does it ever make sense to...

Great photo. Love the color of the t against the color of the water dish.

I only have one (for now). B. Smithi - Venom (named by by 5-year-old son who likes Spiderman and his villians - seemed to fit).

So I’ve owned my 3" B. Smithi for 11 days now and owning a t has been better than I imagined. In the short time that I’ve owned her I’ve gotten to see her redecorate, hunt down her prey, drink from the water dish, and what I believe to be her happy dance. She always seems to be out in the open...

Three weeks ago if someone said that I was going to purchase a tarantula, I would have said they were crazy. Following a conversation with a co-worker, who previously owned tarantulas, I did some research. One look at a B. Smithi and I strangely found myself saying how beautiful it looked...
