Introduce Yourself

[B00]

Hi, I'm Tom. 29 and getting older all the time. I live in Lexington Ky and I'm an amateur tarantula enthusiast. I do graphics and illustration and whatnot, and I also co-manage an online toystore, VNCtoys.com, with my Sister. Just wanna say, Yo!

New to the T addiction, new to this site...

Basically arachnophobic my entire life until now; I started to educate myself on the subject of tarantulas.
With the encouragement of a spider lady that got over her fear of those eight legged wonders. She provided me an excellent spider.
I have my first T, a 3.5" Grammostola aureostriata (female)
She has captured my interest, totally, and I have spent many hours watching her rearrange her enclosure.
She settled in quickly and has fed, without hesitation.
Of course, I have assembled a wishlist of about 15 species, New World, terrestrial, and slow moving.
I joined this site to network and learn as much as possible from experienced keepers.
I would welcome input from members; thanks for reading my ramblings.

Hello everyone! I've just been lurking about here for about a week or so and I decided I should introduce myself. I've had some pedes for a while now but hadn't joined any forums till now. Found this place and really like it, its full of all kinds of usefull information.
I have a couple Scolopendra subspinipes and a Scolopendra polymorpha with one more of each on its way hopefully get it soon as I wish to breed them if I get lucky enough. Well thats it.

rosea .5''
G. aureostriata .5''

All arrived in great condition and were nice and healthy, two of them ate right away. Ive been reading a lot of interesting posts on here and as soon as i can ill post a couple pics

 

[mattpaw]

Glad to be here

He guys. I'm relatively new to the hobby and totally new to this board. I got started in the hobby about two years ago when I bought my first T, a rose hair. She died a couple years ago as a result of a fall (very sad). I was tarantulaless for a couple years after she died and I've just started to get going again. I purchased a new rose hair about three weeks ago and also purchased a curly hair spiderling. It's good to be back. I had almost forgoten how beatiful and amazing these creatures are. They are one of the most primitive animals on the planet today and I find that very interesting. Next on my list is probably a smithi but I'm not totally sure yet.

Back on The Boards

Hi all,

I have had a few T's along the way. I first become interested due to talking to Botar at several reptile shows in the area and the ones I used to Help promote.
Not really new to the boards but it's been a while.

I lost most of my T's due to a mishap with wood heat. I also lost all my reptiles and birds in the same mishap Around 2 years ago.

My favorite T is the P. regalis. I purchased a Rosey today from a local petshops personal collection. Looking forward to getting back into the hobby of raising the 8 legged wonders.

 

[curds_whey]

Hey there! I'm Jeanine in Atlanta, GA and right now I only have two T's, but that's because my husband's afraid of them and doesn't want more. The things you put up with sometimes, lol. If it were up to me, I'd have a whole houseful!

What I have are an adult chilean rosehair named Bellezza and a spiderling Zebra named KC.
