How did I get here anyway??
I was refered by Scott of Scott's Tarantulas. I had recently lost my adult male G. rosea and was looking for that new spider in my life. When I found it at Scott's he sent me here for info. :clap:

Very knowledgeable department manager!!!
I got my first T from a big box pet store. The department manager was a multi T owner. She answered most of my newbie questions and as I questioned her some more, she told me to double check the facts with others on the internet.

A google search. >< " Tarantula Forum " to be exact, I got Tarantula.com at first but HATED how they set up their forum ( And their lack of replies at that. ) This one struck me' fancy and here I are!

I was at the NY/Metro Reptile Expo and got talking on line to a fellow roach enthusiast. I was talking about how I have trouble finding a lot of the species I'm interested in, and she asked if I'd looked on Arachnoboards. When I said I'd never heard of it, she was very much surprised, and wrote down the address right away. Thank goodness she did; this site is awesome. Though, my mate won't be too happy with the sudden influx of inverts that will undoubtedly come with it...

I found Arachnoboards because of Google... and someone at the pet store where I recently got my newest addition from. A guy there was really nice and very knowledgeable about tarantulas, snakes and just in general everything in the Reptile Room. He was talking to someone about Arachnoboards and well, it came up one day while I was searching for information about my tarantula.. and walla! Here I am.

From one of the other members on ATS' board.
The Long Version
At my last job, one of my co-workers who was a real nasty person found a really big Brown Huntsman spider in her bathroom and decided to bring it into work one morning in a plastic bag. Apparently she thought it would be funny to give it to one of her few work buddies as a sort of gag gift. And when the other co-worker put it back on her desk disgusted, she brought it around to a few other people trying to get rid of it or to get someone else to be responsible for the flushing of the thing. I knew none of this at the time, because I really didn’t talk much to this nasty person to begin with, even though she sat at the desk right next to mine.
Well, I turned around at one point and saw the plastic bag on her desk. When I realized there was a living thing in the bag, I offered to take it and on my break I went down the street to Petco and got a little critter keeper and some substrate and crickets and then googled some info on spiders because I knew nothing. The thing lived. (Apparently they had also taken outside when they went to smoke and had been blowing smoke into the bag.) And after it warmed up a bit outside and the little guy/girl had molted once in my care, I let it go in the woods to complete it’s life cycle.
This left a little hole in my heart. So, I decided to get a T. Once I picked out my T and it was on it’s way, it was back to the web for some more research via google. The rest is obvious.

I was on the Botar by Eights website and found the link to this site listed under informational sites.
I got my first T last week, a baby Curly-hair (Brachypelma albopilosa), and was searching deviantart.com for pics of other's tarantulas. One of the members wrote me back after I commented on her photo and said I should check this board out. I'm sure glad I did! I've learned TONS already! :worship:
