Hello guys. This is my first post on here so I want to introduce myself. My name is Cheo, I'm 20 years old, and today is officially my first day in the hobby.
Up until extremely recently I was a complete arachnophobe my entire life. I've had a lot of friends who kept Ts but they never intersted me. That is, until I dove headfirst into the snake hobby. Keeping snakes is just a gateway to keeping Ts. Once you have one 'exotic' pet it's a gateway to everything else. My girlfriend got her first 2 a few weeks ago and since then I've totally caught the bug. (She has two Grammostola Rosea, one sling, and one mature female)
I started doing some basic reading and preperations, and as one thing led to another I pulled the trigger. I got my first T today. I went with Grammostola Pulchripes. My little sling is probably about an inch long.
I am absolutely eager to learn and soak up as much information as possible. In about 8 weeks the Hamburg reptile show returns to my area and I'd love to pick up some new Ts among other things.
Anyway, that's my basic little story. I can't wait to get to know you guys and really get my foot planted in this hobby.
Side note: Since I took that picture earlier I have added a small piece of cork bark as a hide, added a bit of substrate [eco earth coconut fiber mixed with organic soil] and since today was the feeding day at the shop I purchased this sling from I fed a very small cricket which was taken instantly much to my enjoyment. There is also a bottle cap for a water dish in there. If there are any other suggestions or recomendations for my T I would love to hear them. What I've done so far is the info that was given to me by other friends who keep Ts.
