Who would have thought that keeping T's would be so addictive. I currently only own 1 female g.concepcion but I want a 2nd, 3rd, 4th etc. Has anyone ever just stopped at 1?
I am in the process of building a house and live in a small studio apartment for the time being...it's so frustrating being in limited space and knowing I need to wait until the house is done to bring home more Ts Though I probably will end up with more before then.I think I must've gotten about 12 tarantulas in the last 2 months. They're for sure an addictive hobby.

We are going to the NE Reptile Expo in a few weeks, hubby thinks I want to go "to look at cute geckos" but secretly I know he can't say no to cute slings and I will definitely be bringing some homeSlings are stackable
I can see it happening. 'we're going for cute geckos, right hun?' 'yes, definetely ge...hey look, what a cute Avic over there!'We are going to the NE Reptile Expo in a few weeks, hubby thinks I want to go "to look at cute geckos" but secretly I know he can't say no to cute slings and I will definitely be bringing some home
Of course you will! HahaI probably will end up with more before then.
I'll just make sure to pick up a few more Grammastola in the bunchAlthough most T's require little space it's worth reminding yourself that your sudden 12 slings will need a self or 2 when fully grown. So make sure you can house them.
I know what you mean! When I got my first (a B. albopilosum sling) I couldn't imagine how I would ever want more than one tarantula because they're all just big, hairy spiders anyway, right? One tarantula. One scorpion. One centipede. One vinegaroon. Just enough diversity to introduce my students to the amazing world of arthropods. Of course, that was before I really started paying attention to the incredible diversity of tarantulas and realizing just how many different kinds are out there! I now have 20+ tarantulas (assorted species) - and multiples of everything else, too! Once you get started, it's amazingly addicting.Who would have thought that keeping T's would be so addictive.

DENIAL.On every order that I have done, I have decided that this one will complete my desire for T's. But I am really confident that the next one will be it.
I couldn't agree more. Too many people collect slings like they are Skittles with no regard to the complete life cycle of the animal and their requirements as they age.Although most T's require little space it's worth reminding yourself that your sudden 12 slings will need a self or 2 when fully grown.

Not aimed at anyone.
Especially with the "cheap" ones, many of them grow so quickly. OBT's, anything from Lasiodora, A. geniculata, Psalmos, etc etc etc.I couldn't agree more. Too many people collect slings like they are Skittles with no regard to the complete life cycle of the animal and such requirements as they age.
Indeed, and many of them are not for beginners. They bought a cute OBT sling, and now it's 5" willing to take you on. Many Ts, as you know, outgrow the experience of the owners. OBT, Psalmo and many, many OWs.Especially with the "cheap" ones, many of them grow so quickly. OBT's, anything from Lasiodora, A. geniculata, Psalmos, etc etc etc.
