How much have you put into your collection?

[Julia]

The cost of the tarantulas, cages, and supplies pales in comparison to the cost of my time spent caring for each little darling.....which is priceless.

I would say well over £1500 with equipement.
Just made an order from Germany......3 spids.....over £150.....did the same last month as well.....that's without all the local stuff,equipement,heating,gauges,stats....list goes on and on.....but I love it and would not have it any other way.
The snakes have cost me a lot more than that BTW

 

[shypoet]

simple. . how much have all your T's cost you, cages and all!

for me i would say i have about 500 spent, for cages, sub, crickets, cage supplies and spiders themselves

but i have a good hookup or else it would be more like 750-1000 retain price for everything.

All together, a little over $100.

crickets are like .25, and she has yet to eat, so I'm not sure how much we have spent on food for her or anything.

wow...

if you count my reptiles with my tarantulas I've spent over $1,000 in the past years. OMG. Probably $1,500 to $2,500 roughly with more than $500 being tarantulas (with food ad cage and etc.).

And I wondered why college expenses seemed so much to me...

Maybe $500+ should be considered an addict...

certainly takes dedication... and yet I want more

i dropped about 2 grand on Ts in the last year

i would say 2-3k....... that would be from t's to enclosure's, decoration, substrate, shelve's... and food....... thats what ive spent last few years... not including spontanouse sling shopping... this year... thats another few hundred...

I must have $500+-. Will be more though. I only have 15 Ts ATM.

It's a heck of a lot cheaper than when I was doing saltwater reefs. I must have had $1000+ in just lighting. Filters, livestock, pumps, etc... $5000 easy.

i must say... thats why i didnt want to start a salt water tank..... but same with this hobby, after a while it all adds up... 1t +2t's+20t's = a whole lot of money...

but dont u run a business??? we are just talking about personal collections?

 

[aracnophiliac]

Yes Ok I do run a bussiness but only for the last 7 months....Befor that it was Just our personal collection

 

[sharpfang]

Forrest is right 420......

$5000 EASY!!

But, I have consolidated to a more modest, All-Inclusive Bio-cube.......

Just add Pre-mixed Salt H2O {Taken from far out in Ocean-or-Made with Reverse-Osmosis water}.......Add sand {crushed coral}......and as many "Seasoned rox" from established tanks as one can afford......
{$2 - $6/ lb.}

I have cycled tanx in 4-7 days w/ this method.......

Expensive Hobby........Affordable/efficient ways of enjoying as well though.

I will be trading a petstore, for a 29 gal. Bio-Cube tomorrow.....In addition to my 14....which is barely adeqate for my "True-Perc" pair and bubble anenome.

Highly recommend Marineland's Bio-Cubes.....In 8, 14, and 29 sizes.$200-$300

I also, HIGHLY recommend Arachnophiliac - as well Thanx Danielle!

I have SPENT $2000+ on T's in the last 9 months upon T-Hobby re-entry.
