Introduce Yourself

[Harrod]

Hello

Hello,
This is Nick from IL. I'm 25 and have been in the reptile and arachnid hobby for many years. I have bred various species of reptiles and am ready to give some of my T's a try. I'm glad to be here!

 

[Kagekumo]

a quick hello

Hello,

I'm pretty new to the hobby. I ordered a grammotsola aureostriata immature from swifts last month and enjoyed her so much that I rushed out and picked up a P. facsiata sub adult from a local pet shop as well. I can't wait to start expanding my collection, and I'm excited to be a part of Arachnoboards. Nice to meet you all!!

Greetings

Hello,

I just registered with arachnoboards the other day, and I have found that a number of the posts have been most informative. I have been keeping tarantulas and scorpions over the past forty years for the most part. Particularly the science behind these creatures is of interest to me, and I enjoy the ongoing process of learning about the various species.

As a kid, I used to visit Dr. Benjamin Kaston, a well known zoologist and arachnologist of the time, at San Diego State College (now SDSU). He taught me a great deal about tarantulas, scorpions, and many other arachnids. Indeed, he instilled in me a keen and life-long appreciation for these animals.

Good to be aboard.

Hey Everyone!

My name is, you guessed it Jonny! I am new to this site and hope to be apart of this community from now on! I've always been interested in all kinds of animals including the "creepy crawly" and I'm excited to start getting into them now! I love reptiles and I have ball pythons right now, I hope to increase my collection to many different species and morphs! One day I will get into breeding, I can't wait until the day I see little heads popping out of eggs, that would be the day! I am getting a pair of rose hairs tomorrow (by the time most of you see this I will already have them! ), and I'm so excited! I hope to learn more about these creatures and help people with the things that I learned and maybe even make some new friends on here!

[Elaine]

Hi everyone

I'm Elaine and live in Scotland. I am new to the forum and also to Tarantulas. I got my first (a B. vagans) 2 weeks ago when it was left on my doorstep. I normally rescue parrots so someone must have thought I was into all critters. I have had to learn quickly but I'm totally hooked.
I have now purchased 2 more, a B. emilia juvenile approx 4cm and a G. aureostriata sling at 1.5cm small. All going well so far but I'm finding that they are rather addictive

Hello everybody.

My name is Helen. I live in Australia, and dont have any Tarantulas. We don't actually have Tarantulas in Australia, we have Bird Eating spiders, which people call Tarantulas, and I don't think we are allowed to keep them. Not 100% sure on that though. But I just love spiders of any sort, my favourite being Tarantulas. I have travelled to South America and found a Tarantula, she was just so beautiful, even had 3 babies on her back. Then when I was in Peru, I found the Peruvian Pink Toed Tarantula, she was stunning. I am going to Borneo next week, and then to Africa in August, so I hope I have luck , over in these places, to photograph spiders. I would love to hear from anyone, who would be interested in corresponding with me.

Cheers,

Helen
