Hi, I thought I'd join and see how this goes. Been Keeping all kinds of exotic animals for about 3 years give or take. I love tarantulas, but I must admit I prefer snakes. Currently own Avicularia avicularia, Pterinochilus murinus, Grammostola rosea, Brachypelma smithi, and Brachypelma emilia. Had a Haplopelma lividum (was gorgeous) that passed away and a Hysterocrates gigas pass away (got him from a bad breeder ... was kind of mad but oh well)...

Hello Everybody!

Gooday mates!

Mikeumus here.

I am here because I believe I found a baby taranchula yesterday in a portipoty. lol.

He has three eyes, is very tiny, and extremely cute. I instantly feel in love with him(or her).

I am also interested in general spider research, as a spider's web is a very mysterious substance scientifically and has been suspected by researchers David Wolfe and Dr Berry Carter to be possibly pure ORMUS or ORME. Not to mention a spiders web is 10x or so stronger than steel!!!!!?!?!?!!?!?!

So it's definitely something interesting to research.

If anyone is interested in researching with me or knows where to point me to, then please communicate with me in one of three ways:

• Reply to this post
  
• Send me a PM(private message) here on the Arachnoboards
  
• Email me at mikeumus@msn.com

Peace and Love,
Mikeumus

Hello All, the names Robby.

I believe I caught an Aphonopelma iodius about 2 months ago up in the local hills and he's very nice. I have a few questions and hope you guys will be able to answer them. Thanks

Hi...I don't have a baby spider yet. Ii took me some time to mourn the loss of my male Costa Rican, named Little Spider. It has been two years. I want to get a female Redknee, however, I am hesitate to get one mailed ordered, and one from the pet store, for it has been said they are often wild caught. I been having no success. I live in Pennsylvania. I currently own a Iguana named Stinkwad. She is three years old, and is such a diva. She has her own bedroom and bathtub.

Good Afternoon!

Hi!
My name is Suzanne. Although not new to spiders, many live free in my home, I am new to the great fondness for tarantulas. They have always been a curosity to me until two weeks ago I discovered one marching down the driveway. Constant reading has made clear to me it was a male out looking for girls. A second unit was spotted just a few evenings ago but this dear fellow looked weathered, worn and wobbly. My first encounter prompted me to begin investingating care and feeding, followed by a trip to a local pet store and subsequent purchase of my first T, a Grammostola rosea that is a gorgeous copper color. I've studied many things in my life but this may be one of the most interesting. I'm happy to have found such a wonderful community of like minded folks.

First timer

Hi -- I'm Aaron, I live in Los Angeles, and I just got my first tarantula, a G. rosea (see, I'm talking like an arachnopro already). We actually adopted a dog from a young couple, and they asked if we could take their tarantula also. My wife and I know lots about dogs but nothing about spiders, so I was put in charge of this little project due to my history*. So I'm trying to learn all I can as fast as I can to make sure we provide a good home for our as-yet-unnamed tarantula. It seems as if the old owners may have made a few mistakes (bark substrate, sponge in the water, etc.) so I'm sure I'll have lots of questions!

Aaron


* A while back, my kids won two 25-cent feeder goldfish which cost me $10 in school carnival tickets. Three years and $300 (and climbing) later, they are thriving. Apparently, everyone else's fish died within two weeks. Our goldfish *totally* hit the jackpot.

S'up..

I'm new here. I got my first T last month. A. Versicolor "Wednesday".. He's only 1" right now and getting ready to molt.

I reasearched T's for a year before making the decision that's what I needed to do to cure my life long phobia of spiders.. Hey it worked!

I just purchased my second T.. G. Rosea "Gomez" 2 weeks ago. He's almost (or already) full grown but he's a trip to watch as he snorks down the crickets like they're going out of style (he's also called Piggy)

Already thinking of the next T's to get.. I still need Morticia/Kid kid and Pugsly/Ghastly.. Thinking B. Smithi for sure and open to suggestions for another docile for beginner species..

Cheers,

Holly

Hello all, I'm Cami.
I've been working with T's for two years and keeping for a couple months. My A. versicolor sling is only about an inch, but is due for a molt soon and eats voraciously. Ever since I started keeping them myself I've found it to be quite addicting--I find myself trying to soak up as much information from ATS and this forum as humanely possible. I can't wait till I move out of the dorms in three months so I can get many more. And so, the obsession has been born......

Hello everyone, I am Bilko from Somerset in England, just joined the forum finding it very interesting, am a long time collector of T's and look forward to picking up and passing on any useful information regarding these facinating and intersting 8 legged friends

Hiyo, my name's Mike, I hail from the mountainous coast of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I'm not completely new to tarantulas, I bought my first one, a common pinktoe about 4 years ago, but it only lived for a year, not making it through it's first molt with me. I held off on getting another one until about 4 months ago, when I bought a baby G. Aureostriata from a breeder at a reptile show in Alberta. Since then it has molted several times and is now about 2.5". It's name is Bowie, seeing as I dont know if it is male or female, and it used to dance when I fed it. I've been looking around for a good tarantula forum and this seems to be the most active one I could find, so I hope to become a regular contributing member of this group, and look forward to learning from and teaching people anything I can.
