Halito!
Halito is Choctaw Indian for Hello.
My name is Skye and I'm a 24 year old, Native American, artist living in Texas. As an avid animal rescue advocate I operate my own rescue organizations and network with others across the country. I wanted a Tarantula for years before I finally got my Rose Hair I call Precious. She's about 3/4 inch small but fiesty. I don't know when she sleeps. Everytime I look in there she's moving around. I only had her a week when I couldn't wait another second to get a cobalt blue that I named Saphira. I fell in love with it while I was searching for the Rose Hair. I know one week isn't the experience recommended to handle a cobalt but I am way too impatient to wait. Does anyone know what happens to the impatient handler? Hmm....
Spiders are far from my only critter interests. I have 34 cats, 6 horses, 4 birds and a sassy ferret. My house is a zoo! Just the way I like it! All sorts of wild animals, eight legs, four legs...two legs. LOL
By the way I got both of mine from kenthebugguy. I've seen his name mentioned around here. Very satisified. I was worried because the idea of buying a spider online and getting it in the mail seemed a little weird to me. It worked fine. Ken is a great guy. I will definetly be buying from him again. After all it seems Tarantulas are addictive. I wonder if there is a Tarantulas Annonymuos.

Hey Everyone!
My name is Angel and I'm from Canada. I'm a first time owner of a emperor scorpion.........it's been great, but I thought it was a male and just found out it was a female because it had little scorplings. I can't keep them all......so if anyone in Ontario wants one......send me a reply.

Not new to spiders, just new to this forum :0)
Just wanted to say hi to all of the tarantula enthusiasts and arachnoculturists out there. Looking to do some breeding of my own in the near future and thought I'd start by getting involved in the forums that I could find. I'm not new to spiders, just to this forum. I've been collecting on and off for about 13 or 14 years.

Howdy Arachnoboards!
I'm a 19-year-old (well, 20 in a month) guy from Hungary. I'm a biology student at the University of Szeged and I started keeping tarantulas back when I was 14, about 5 year ago. One of my biggest tarantula-dreams came true last Saturday when I finally got a 2nd instar Grammostola pulchra at an invert/reptile expo. Unfortunately it was already premolt, and had a shaky molt in the car on the way home.

I don't have any Ts at the moment; I've just recently become fascinated with them~ BUT-my fiancee is fairly terrified of spiders of any kind, definately not excluding tarantulas-but he's not so scared as to say 'maybe' to keeping one as a pet.....so I just need to convince him of their greatness!!

intro
a really awkward interface & this from a man who wrote some of the Unix kernel (Apple system .....) 30 years ago. i do enjoy fellow arachnophiles, so i will get over it. goth & i are here recovering from a bad trauma, so the spelling errors are hers (stop it!). she is a <1yr b. smithi & i'm a >50 md. she is also much cuter.
arachnid trauma care is an unexplored science. no one knows what to do @ least by house ape standards & we live in sf. i don't even want to think about what it is like in the flyover. when she presented i was clumsy & didn't not have any kits prepped. i blew it & she preformed an autotomy. damn! damn, damn, damn!!! i now think that i can splint an arachnid limb but it takes 3 hands. i also blew the triage she had a severly injured tarsus that i missed. Bridgette & i were able to splint it. there is hope. -- how do you splint an arachnid limb. i don't know how anyone else does it & i'm not sure many others have the resources to do what i did. i used 32g titanium (strong, light) wire & the same g5 epoxy that held the space shuttle together (@ least when it wasn't doing a face plant.)
we are now on to aftercare. i'm giving her d5 1/2 w/ cipro & dilaudid pr. if you didn't understand that maybe you shouldn't be doing it. yesterday, she pooped all over me. It made me so happy.
ciao,

ps(i hate breeders & anyone else who treats our little friends as objects.)

Hi, my name is Jim, im 25 and from a little european country called Denmark - I think there are some danes in here allready (and nope it is not the capital of Sweden or Netherlands )
I have around 80-90 Tarantulas, mostly from Africa or South America - I do also have a soft spot for Aphonopelma species.
I will mostly be reading - learning and whatnot at this board.
That should be an introduction... yes.

I got scurredddd
Hello all I'm Be. I currently own a baby Antilles Pinktoe and a juvi-Brachy/Boehmei
So I'm cleaning my tarantulas' cage ystrdy (divided terrestrial version from tarantulacages.com) and as I nudged my freshly molted (1wk-ago) Brachy/Boehmei into a deli cup, I accidently snapped off the tip of two of his legs!! (Just the tip where they sometimes have two tiny claws per leg).
I HAD to replace the substrate in the cage ASAP because I noticed what may have been mold forming in one of the corners where twig met peat-moss.
He is about 6 months old, I was so scared because I saw a bulging drop of a liquid I believe to be tarantula blood, and I remember reading that tarantula blood can barely clot - I reached for clear nail polish!! :? I put just a dab on the tip of his foot and immediately moved him into another deli cup to avoid inhalation of the fumes, & it dried up quickly and seemed to have stopped bleeding but I am freaking out here!! I feel HORRIBLE but wondered if my extreme desperate measures were OK! What should I have on hand for any possible future accidents!? I swear this'll NEVER happen again! :8o Lesson learned! Please help!
