So In the past few weeks my collections gone from 2 Ts to 10, with more Ts adding to my wish list it shows no sign of stopping soon how bigs everyone else collection and how long did it take before it got out of control

I have 18 so far - plus seven more on the way.

I was able to keep my habit under control for several years because I only bought more mature Ts and only got the cheap ones. But then in mid-December I discovered that spiderlings were cheaper and more fun to watch than older Ts, and things quickly spiraled out of control.

Yea bet he/she looks lovely now and maybe not out of control yet ...

I'm pretty slow and methodical in general, so it's unlikely to ever spiral out of control. I understand that having 50 of them isn't 10 times more fun than having 5 of them. There are diminishing returns, at least for me.

Correct. It's more than 10 times the fun Not even kidding. As you know, spiders do everything slow. When you have dozens of them, then something is always going on. Long premolts and fasts don't really matter when you've got other spiders to observe.

Spiderlings are much more fun and it's satisfying and rewarding watching em grow
Price is a lot better unless ya go to my local pet shop they wanted 30 40 pounds for spiderlings stick to online dealers for those I think

Hope to get sacs soon!

[sdsnybny]

Yeah, I've had 3 molts this week and my Phormic is in heavy premolt. Also my tiniest P. sazimai I just noticed is darkening. Also going to try to mate my G. porteri couple this weekend. Constant fun with a bunch of Ts.

Probably 10 spiders would be enough only if they were all pamphos. Those things eat and grow and molt at a crazy pace.

Got my first Tarantula in June of last year, that has since expanded to 17 plus a Scorpion.

I've crossed the 100 line last year when my T. cyaneolum dropped a sac and I kept 23 of the babies. If you don't count them I have only 90 - a fact to be remedied quite soon - the next 4 are pre-ordered.

But I'm totally in control. I can stop any time I want.
