Hiya folks,

My name is Billy, I'm 28 and I live in central Scotland.

I've kept snakes and scorpions in the (distant) past. I have just bought two Exo Terra vivaria for a centipede and a couple of scorpions; TBA!

Everyone is telling me they're not coming near my house because of my insistance on keeping bugs. I suppose it's going to be really tricky finding a girlfriend now!!

Within the next week or so, I'll have some stuff to talk about. I'll undoubtedly have a lot of questions to ask too!

:}

Intro

Hey everybody! I'm a new poster but I've been lurking here for a while. I have to say a BIG thanks to everyone here for all of the information. I stumbled across this board a while ago when I was thinking about getting a T and it quickly became my #1 place for tarantula info.

A few weeks ago, I got my first T, an A. seemanni. He (at least I think it's a he, I'll post pictures later so everyone else can verify that for me) was the only non-Chilean Rose that I could find around here. He seems like a pretty good little guy, no problems so far. I've yet to hold him (not sure if I ever will or not), but he's yet to show any signs of aggression towards me, even when I needed to scoot him into a container for a bit while I added more substrate so he could burrow. He did eventually dig a burrow, which he spends some time in but hasn't become a "pet hole" yet.

You guys will probably see me post some stuff around eventually, so catch you all later.

Howdy,

I'm James and I have Zero tarantulas. I came across this site while getting info and I honestly can say its the best forum I've seen yet. Very organized, recourseful, and useful.

I'm new!

Hi all , my name is Leslie and last sunday I brought home a versicolor pink toe (Grimm) and my brother brought home a giant white knee (Boogado). Neither one of us have experience with Ts even though I've been doing a lot of research I have many questions. They are both very small. Grimm is less then two inches. I've been misting his container and feeding him. Hes been eating but how will I know if something is wrong? I can't tell whats going on, hes spending more time on the bottom instead of the top and moving erratically. Hes webbing now at the top. But hes not climbing. I'd appreciate any advise. Thanks!

Quick introduction

Hello everyone, i'v been lurking for quite some time so I figured i'd say hello, I am Jen, I have been into inverts for going on 7 years now : ) I look forward to meeting you all and reading some awesome threads.

 

[Zarathustra]

Howdy, yall.

Hello,

I was interested only in invertebrates when I was very young, but then diverted my attention to reptiles, mainly snakes, for the last twenty years. I still love my snakes, but I am going to expand my horizons and get into invertebrates once again. This seems like the right place to start. Lots of experienced people here it seems.

Thanks for reading.

Hello!

I live in Phoenix, Arizona and my boyfriend and I stumbled into the hobby of keeping scorpions because our apartment seems to be a mecca for local bark scorpions (Centruroides exilicauda). Before deciding to start keeping them about 2 weeks ago, we've captured and released about 30 of these little dudes over the last 2 years.

My boyfriend's been stung once when they were on his pants. I've managed to avoid that honor by sheer luck and a highly developed neurosis of checking floors, walls, ceilings for these and other critters. We started keeping them when I actually touched one when it came out of a cardboard soap box that had been out on the bathroom counter. I guess I felt a special connection to that one.

Since then we've been collecting them all and sticking them in a 10 gallon tank; there's about 25 of them in there now, with some others (mostly tiny babies) in tupperware. We also caught a desert hairy (Hadrurus arizonensis) out in the desert near us, and are on the lookout for more.

I love watching these creatures, and am looking forward to learning more about them and other critters on these boards.

Hi

Hi All..

I'm from Vancouver BC and just received my first T today. My mother dropped it off because she barters stuff and someone just randomly gave it to her.. for free. She naturally thought I needed it..

Of course, whomever had it last has obviously neglected to clean the tank and someone dumped about 5 crickets into the darned thing.

I frankly don't know what I'm getting into but I WILL pick up stuff tomorrow to clean the darn thing.

I'm thinking to perhaps wait a week to let myself and 'Willamena' become accustomed to each other.

I think we're both kind of freaked out right now..
