I agree. Doing this helps especially when one does a search.Who cares if it's an old thread. I'd much rather not have the forum cluttered with the same threads and questions all the time. A thread that is as simple as, "What's your favorite T" doesn't need to be posted every single day. It gets old to be honest.

I talk to my pedes all the time.I keep my African jewel centipede next to my bed that I always talk to every night.Yes,I'm very weirdYes I do! And I bet you and I aren't the ONLY ones on this board who talk to their Ts!=D
My g. rosea, sitting on her eggsack, "tenses up" when I open her enclosure to check humidity. When I talk to her, she "relaxes" and lays back down on the sac.
With some of the others, if I open an enclosure to feed and don't speak, they'll jump when I toss in the cricket. But if I speak to them first, they seem to expect that I'll be tossing something in or picking them up.
I'm in no way suggesting that they "hear" me, or that they "know" me!! But, our voices each have an individual tone and rhythym and I DO think they become accustomed to that after a certain amount of time.
Does not compute.Have 15 now, hope to get a select few more to finish off my collection
Surely if I keep telling myself that, I'll stick to it...won't I?Does not compute.![]()
Thaaaaaaat's more like it!Surely if I keep telling myself that, I'll stick to it...won't I?
Actually, to be more specific, there are only a few more species I want. But I'll probably have to go through multiple individuals to finally get all females of those species. So yeah, even though I say only a few more to go, in reality....![]()
Liar ! Lol . i thought I would only have 1 tarantula . . . 2 years later I have 130 for me...though I want one badly, I am under my parents' roof and already have three pet birds. I may, however, be able to get a tarantula for christmas or possibly for graduation.
G. pulchripes for me. Then I'll look at the other NW species. I do have a tentative wishlist, but I need to do more research of the species on it. I fully intend, however, to get a GBB (C. cyaneopubescens I believe?) and a B smithi. I may never, however, get a pokie if the venom from all species can cause respiratory symptoms, so after that a H. lividium. Then I'll sit still for a bit....yeah, right.
