Introduce Yourself

[Arachno Veteran]

Finally- was able to log-in successfully - Intro

Hello All,

I have loved bugs ever since I was a kid! I used to keep a large collection of Arachnids (~11 years ago). I raised all kinds of Lepidoptera at that time too (livestock mailed to me from other hobbyists).
Recently, I've been desperately seeking specimens of colorful Hymenoptera. I'm currently looking for things like "Velvet Ants", large/colorful/tropical, etc.
If there is anyone who is willing to sell a few papered specimens to me, I would really appreciate it. Cuckoo Wasp, colorful Bees, etc.
Wanted: Dead or Alive - As long as they're colorful. Thanks!
I am in the USA, please e-mail me at ndbdxr@yahoo.com, if you have a few extra specimens you would be willing to sell me. I have a PayPal account.

Thank you,

Al Milano

HI all. I haven't been here in a long time so will reintroduce myself. I'm Dannye, I live in Perth in Western Australia. I'm a sole parent to a 6.5 year old ninja boy whom I homeschool. I'm a full time uni student studying Community Development and Sociology with an aim to complete a dual major BA and get my MSW by the time my son is 12. I work part time as a horticulturist in a native restoration plant nursery.

I'm originally from the USA and grew up in California but moved to Australia in 2001 from Oregon. In Oregon I had over 45 different species. I haven't kept spiders in a long time but am looking to start collecting again in the hopes of creating an educational workshop for homeschooled kids here (we have over 1000 homeschooling families in the metro area). We have a lot of native scorps in the area and a friend of ours is on a property where we can go have a look which we plan to do soon.

Cheers from Perth.

~Dannye

Well hello everyone! im new here and i joined cuz i really loved my T and unfortuanatly i wasn't able to keep him for very long because i was too young and uninformed so the outcome was tragic for my T named Rex about 14 years ago. I'm now 25 and i live in Texas (near Corpus Christi) and I have a pet chameleon named Trunks so im used to having the responsibility of taking care of an advanced speicies. So now im just trying to figure out which species of T i want to get.

hi

Hello, my name is Cheryl. My husband is really the one who opened the door for me to T's, before then I was more into reptile (still am into reptiles). He bought me my first T while we were dating and today we have a nice collection. Basically, I am just here to share the experience, get help, provide help, and enjoy.

 

[truthsdeceit]

Hi. I'm Mary. I got my first T a G. rosea 2 days ago and couldn't be happier. Just thought I'd post something. For some reason arachnoboards thinks I've got 0 post even though I started a thread in T anoucments.. huh?

 

[Naga]

First, my name is John. Over the past 6ish years, I've had no pets of my own. Some years back though, I had many pets ranging from fish, hamsters and dogs up to, at the time, a pair of emperor scorpions. I've learned a lot about taking care of them since, and plan on getting a few again soon, and will probably go further with the hobby this time. I'm currently living in Altoona, PA with roommates

I found Arachnoboards through search and research. Getting a new set of pets is absolutely fascinating to me, and I hope to have a few critters soon. I've been lurking a few days, and decided that this environment seems like a great place to make friends as well as learn. I'm also taking in things I totally forgot, and many I didn't know anyway... Not to mention researching new possibilities at some point in the future

 

[l.parahybana]

Don't know much about . . .

My name is Michelle and I don't know that much about tarantulas. I inherited one from my father. It's an l. parahybana or Brazilian Salmon-Pink Birdeater. I live in Tulsa, OK and I don't have any other pets.

[Rocky Mountain Arachnids]

New to Arachnoboards

I am new to Arachnoboards not new to T's I use to have a large collection many years ago but had to get out of hobby for a while and missed it. I now have 16 T's and always looking for more and glad to have join this site. My project right now is to breed my Female Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens I am looking for a male one right now. So if any one knows where I can find one please let me know!

 

[SpdrWomanWeaver]

My name is Mallory. I'm 19, in college, and a majoring in some sort of biology field, either medicine, zoology, archeology, or entomology/arachnology.

I own one tarantula so far, whom I have named Aphrodite. She is a Gramastola Rosea, Chilean Rose Hair. I only recently was able to determine her sex, since she only shed her skin for the first time around me. I honestly love my Aphrodite, and you could say I spoil her (not with food, with other things), even if she can't truly appreciate them. (Although once I put her little hiding cave in, I think she will like that.)

Anyway, if you have any questions for me at all, feel free to ask

My name is Scott. I was originally LordLycosa, but I'd figure I'd do a reintroduction I'm a 21 year old junior in college majoring in zoology. I hope to work in herpetology, arachnology, and entomology fields someday...hopefully at a zoo or museum.

Here's me fresh out of the shower and some pics of me handling my now deceased emperor scorp, Leonidas. He got me into the arachnid hobby.

[StoneTalon56]

G'day all....name's John, i live near Toronto and i recently became the proud owner of two juvenile asian forest scorpions. I've always had a little bit of interest in scorpions, that is once i got over my childhood fear of them...(i can thank 'honey i shrunk the kids' for that). I never really had much patience for pets that just sit there and don't do anything but i've since grown to appreciate animals of all kinds.

my friend who owns dozens of creatures gave Pinchy and Stingy to me b/c my water dragon died in his care, and since that day i have been absolutely fascinated by them. I can sit and watch them for hours even if they aren't moving.

I have joined Arachnoboards because i have a few questions about the molting process, so without further adue i'll wrap this up and go find the nearest help thread. =)

Hello

I'm Greg and I'm a T addict now. I already have an assortment of geckos and just got into T's around 4 months ago. I started of with one (Chaco) and now just purchased another three (2 LPs and 1 Versi). I love these little guys.

 

[woollyman]

Hi from West Mids into Ts for 5 months now..

Hi all!
I'm Wez, a 32yr old Railway Fleet Controller from the West Mids, into cycling, sketching, photography, vodka, art/design, anything creative, socialising, urban exploration & derelict buildings. I've been interested in Tarantulas since October 2009 & I currently have 3 Ts. I'm interested in starting a future project of developing clear acrylic housing for my T's
Hoping to make a few new friends here & pick up some valuable tips along the way

 

[Imbrium]

Hi, I'm Rachel. I'm 26. I work at Walmart, which sucks but with the economy what can you do? I've only got one T right now, a G. rosea but I'm looking to get a few more here soon. I used to have an A. avic as well who I dearly loved. I also keep fish although I've been downsizing my tanks lately.

That's how I started! My first was 13 months ago and I just found out last weekend that "Fang" was a male. So I went out around Phoenix and found a great dealer who found me a 2-3 year old female who we named "Charlotte". Fang used to be calm and docile, but now that he's matured, WOW...Leave him alone!! He attack my prodding stick for the first time EVER! I'm thinking about breeding these two and see what happens. These Chaco's are so beautiful and sweet(most of the time).
Anyone out there that have Chaco's? Love to hear from you
