new here

Hi there Everyone,

this is my very first post in this forum and I am glad to be here. first of all I am amazed of how people are so enthusiastic with their own pets as for me,
I was given by my best friend 4 baby scorpions he told me it's HH and i have no idea what that means. as of now my 4 HH is living with me for four days and I still don't have any idea on what to feed or what to do with them, if anyone who has same scorpion specie as mine please can you give me some
enlightenment due to the fact that I'm a total noob when it comes to this. Hoping for some pm's :biggrin:

oh and btw my name is Cyrille John you can call me Cy for short

Hey everyone!
My name's Mike. I'm originally from Vermont, but moved to Massachusetts a few years ago. I'm new in the tarantula keeping hobby, but have already become addicted to them! I had had a slight interest in them for some time now, but then a co-worker bought one and was telling me all about it, which in turn really made me itch to get one. After finally convincing the wife to let me get one, I picked up a tiny G. Pulchripes sling from a LPS. I then really wanted something larger that i could actually see more, so I picked up a P. Scrofa. I believe both the Scrofa and Pulchripes are pre-molt as I've had them both for a couple weeks now, and neither have eaten. Recently while I was down in south east Mass. I stopped at another lps, and they had a HUGE selection of T's. I ended up getting a E. Campestratus sling that is about 3 times the size of the pulchripes, and this one is eating! Amazing creatures! I plan on getting at least two more T's before I can say I'm happy with my collection. I'll probably mostly be a lurker, but joined so that if I have any questions, I can ask them on here.

hi all

Hello

I'm from South Africa

I'm here to learn more about my pet tarantula and take some good knowledge offered here and hopefully get some important questions answered on my little friend

 

[Zequoia]

So glad to find such an informative forum. I am here for my daughter who has wanted a tarantula for years. She has always loved spiders and takes care of any strays around the house for me....I think she's old enough now and we have been doing our research. I can appreciate a spider's beauty but they scare the oop: out of me!
We always research pets so we have been reading all the great posts here and learning a lot. I "think" she as her choices narrowed down to a Chaco Golden Knee or a Mexican Red Knee. She likes the Chilean Rose Hair but we've read enough here about their unpredictability that she decided to wait on that one.
I'm sure you'll see my questions soon.

 

[Sonet]

Hi

I'm from Johannesburg, South Africa and a beginner T owner. Currently have 7 "babies".

Chilean Rose
Curly
2 Mex red rumps
Choco
Mex red knee
Blu bottle green

My 6 year old daughter got me into the new hobby.

I am a bit concerned about my chilean rose as all the spiderlings have fair appetites but this one does not eat well?

[JozefRamos]

Hey guys, i am Jozef, 14 years old, new to hobby i am obsessed in spiders since i was in childhood. Just wastched tarantula videos in youtube until jon3800 introduces arachnoboards, After watching his video I checked arachnoboards and I was mesmerized by this site because it is like a World Trading Center for a hobbyist, I decided to signed up in no hesitation and now this site makes me more knowledgable about tarantulas and other arachnids.

 

[CesarF]

Hello guys! I'm Cesar, from Brazil \o/ I'm 18 yo and started the hobby at 6, keeping mantids and huntsman spiders, now I keep: 11 Whip-spiders, 3 Avicularia, 2 Ischnothele caudata, 1 G. rosea, 1 Centipede, 1 Tityus and the mantids (Acanthops, Stagmatoptera, Orthoderella, Angela, Hagiomantis, Oxyopsis, Acontista and Raptrix) =]

 

[SpyderMom]

I guess I'll start off with my name...Morgan. I have three kids and a wonderful fiance. I also have a giant green iguana, a NG frilled dragon, a fire-bellied toad, 3 gerbils, and a betta. About two weeks ago, we lost our Rose, Skull. My fiance and I were really sad, as to most people's surprise, and spoke of getting another tarantula, but I thought it was too soon.

I was at the pet store recently (buying everything for everyone) and was asked about my pets at the counter. I named everyone off, but I felt I was missing one. When I got back to my car, I called my fiance and told him that we had to fill the void. We were already planning to go to Repticon for a pair of Chinese water dragons, and he said that he'd like a baby Brazilian black.

...and I decided we (I) needed to join a forum. We loved watching Skull's behavior, and we didn't handle him very much...I think he preferred it that way, and we enjoyed all of the years we had with him. I've re-clanned gerbils, nursed sick lizards to perfect health, and brought a fish back from the dead. (OK, we didn't REALLY do that, we replaced him for my daughter's benefit, noting the color change from his resuscitation ordeal, but whatever.) When I was a vet tech (before I began my career as a clinical laboratory scientist, I cared for hundreds of animals, and took in injured snakes...

I have no idea of where to begin with a baby tarantula. Or how to choose what we'd like (I like the BBG). Or what to look for in a breeder and his species. I thought I'd read posts, ask questions, and have plenty of time to make a decision before July. That's why I'm here...and because I want to talk to others who share the belief that Skull was NOT just a spider to be squashed, but a very real, important member of our family.

[theSNAKElady]

Hi! My name is Crystal, and Im new here but not new to tarantulas. Definitely not an expert keeper by no means, but I have had years of experience with a few species. Currenly I have four: P.irminia, G.rosea, B.smithi, and a male A.urticans. I also have two stripetail scorpions, and have had many other 8+ legged creatures in the past. Im on another snake forum that ive been a member of for 7+ years, and even tho I love the lil crawly guys, I am truly a snake girl. I have a few virtual buddies there that are also here, and decided to join here to learn more and become a more "well rounded" and knowledgeable T keeper.

 

[Duo Majere]

New Here, with a phobia of arachnids

Hi everyone,

My name is Duo. I'm new here, and I'm actually here thanks to the Reptile Report. I'm really big into snakes, but I often see pictures/posts from Arachnoboards on their front page, and I am always curious. I used to love spiders (I played with them as a kid, they were way cooler than Barbies and dolls) but when I was around 3 years old, my mom showed me the movie, "Arachnophobia," and ever since, I've been super freaked out about anything with eight legs.

I also recently moved to Japan, and suddenly have been encountering centipedes like crazy. I often seen centipedes that look impressive, and although my encounters with centipedes started off rocky, I'm hoping to become more comfortable with them since I'll probably find them in my house again soon (gotta love humid Japanese summers...)

I joined this site hoping to get over my fear of spiders and centipedes by better understanding them. I know that my fears are completely biased, and would probably not exist if I was better educated about these animals. I always expect other people to be understanding of my love for snakes and ask them to accept snakes for the beautiful creatures they are, so I hope I can do the same and start getting over my fears in a responsible way. I've killed more spiders and centipedes out of fear than I would like to admit, so I hope that I can change that because I know that it angers me when people kill snakes out of fear.

~Duo
