Well hello there! Thanks for stopping by... I guess a little introduction is nescesary for my first post. Like most folks I was terrified of spiders, like burn the whole house down if I saw one. But for about 3 months now I’ve become slightly obsessed with them, spending a lot of my free time reading about and watching videos on husbandry and whatnot. So I feel I’m at the point where it’s time to actually plop down some cash and bring some of these little beauty’s into my life.
After talking to the wife we decided five tarantulas was a good starting point. Originally my plan was to get 2 terrestrials, 2 arboreals and a fossorial. A good spread to kind of touch all corners of the hobby at once. But after a few weeks of going back and forth over what to get, planning out the future enclosure needs and what not, I’m not sure if I should pull the trigger on arboreals right away.
My original 5 were, p. Cancerides, p. Regalis, p. Cambridgei, e. Rufences and a. Seemani. Which I still think I could handle but like my wife pointed out, I’m probably gonna end up wanting more so why not start off easy and work my way up to pokeys and what not.
So now a few days later... thinking only in terrestrial or fossorial I have a solid 4 picked out...but I can’t pick a fifth. Right now it stands the same 3 terrestrials as before with a b. Boehmei now. For the fifth I was thinking some sort of baboon or a heavy Webber. My current top choices are c. darlingi, c. Cyaneopubences, I. Mira, h. Cf Hercules, h. Himilayana and a bunch more... what do you guys suggest, or think, I’m open to anything really. My kind of dream t at this point is an h.mac cause I’m crazy like that lol.
Anyways, I’m at the point where I’m tired of choosing and changing my mind and just want to order and start raising these little monsters, cause I’m sure they won’t be my last. Oh and I’ll be ordering from tarantula Canada, because well I’m canadian lol.
TLR - getting 5 spiders soon...have 4 genus’ picked can’t decide on a 5th.
