Originally i always wanted geckos and poison dart frogs but since i considered them sensitive, hard to keep and high maintenance, i decided to search for an easy but interesting pet.
After some searching, lots of videos and reading i got really into the idea of getting a large terrestrial, preferrably a newworld because they have urticating hairs as a first line of defence, fangs are scary.
Anyway i fell in love with anything big, black and hungry and as luck had it i found a lokal breeder that just pulled an eggsack from a Pamphobeteus sp. machala. I got 2 of those and raising themfor the last 2 years was a blast.
I also found quite a lot of friends just by attending the tarantula club meetings in my area, its an awesome community.
Anyway i got a gekko now but tarantulas are much more fun to me now and i have my eyes set on anything i can get as tiny sling in my area, nothing beats raising them and the cheeper cost at the start is a bonus.
I particular i want some Pecilotheria sp. next maybe a few subfusca lowland, and hopefully a communal of M. balfouri. and some mygalomorphs like a Linothele sp.
Arachnids are just awesome in general
