Please help, i have an addiction!

[Killertut]

Hello guys and girls.

love the community, thought it was time to join.

started the hobby back in 2013 when i received a female P. rufilata juvenile from a friend.
kept her for aprox. 3 years until she had a bad fall and died...

tarantula fever never struck me back then and i did not get another T until the spring of 2018 (probably due to my morale hitting rock bottom).

earlier this year i received an OBT sling and a female L. parahybana juvenile from the same friend that sold me my first T.

Keeping tarantulas has become an addiction since then. stocked up to 29 tarantulas in half a year and cant seem to stop.

great hobby, but i think i need help

kind regards,
KT

Not yet, you are still missing a lot of really cool ones you have to have.

Wrong place, wrong forums. Everyone here is an enabler. Some of them are even dealers.

Enjoy your stay

You are missing a few important species that everyone should be keeping.

P. cancerides, H. Sp. red/fire (E. Sp. red), B. schroederi
