I started with one G pulchra, grew my collection quickly until I had 30 then I went back to 15. I now only keep the species that I'm most interested in and I'm quite picky.Did you start out with a particular number of species in mind or did your collection grow organically?
That depends. If you go from 1 tarantula to 30 too quickly then yeah you might regret it. But 8 is very manageable even for a compete noob. Tarantulas don't need much to thrive.Do you have any regrets about adding to your collection too quickly (for whatever reason)?
As I said, I'm a very picky keeper. I don't want just about any T or spider, in order for me to want a species it has to meet a certain set of conditions, and even then I might not get it if I already have something that's very close.What (if anything!) will limit the size of your collection?
The requirements are: bold and doesn't hide often, has interesting looks (colors, size etc), isn't a dwarf, isn't overly shy or defensive, isn't a terrible eater. If you think about it, this only leaves me with a couple dozen new world Ts. I already have most of them.
