More into Photography than Spiders

I am retired and more into snakes than spiders. However, I also love photography and will try to take photos of any nature scene I come upon. Found a spider in my yard and took a photo, but can't figure for sure what it is. Can I get help on this site for this?

 

[Johnnyj]

hello

Hi guys,

My name is John, long time lurker/first time poster. I just purchased my first T, deciding to go with the good ol "pet rock" G. Rosea. I did my research as as a complete beginner to the hobby I wanted to go with something tried and true. Perhaps in time I will step up to different specimens should the experience with the first prove positive.

I will be posting some pics up soon, although I'm sure to you they will be quite boring =). Anyway, just sayin hello.

I'm Jenn and this is my second tarantula to own. I have a pink toe, and hadn't owned one since I was 17. Im 30 now and thought it was time to show my kids how cool they are. Funny I am pretty afraid of other spiders but tarantulas are just fuzzy, who knows, not quite arachnophobia.

We've had him for 2 weeks and haven't named him yet, im pretty sure it's a male with the hooks on the first 2 legs

Hello!

Hello everyone,
My name is Ryan, and I live in New Jersey. While I am new to this site, I am not new to inverts. Most of my experience is with spiders, but I have kept some of the more venomous scorpions in the past as well . As far as inverts go, I curently have a female H. lividum, a female L. parahybana, and I breed L. hesperus (I will soon start breeding mactans as well). I have been keeping reptiles for just about my entire life, and I have my current ones listed in my profile . I just recently set up a Pirhana tank, as well as an Oscar tank.

Anyway, just saying hello, and that I'm glad to be a member of this site

Hi,
My name is Lacey.
I'm terribly afraid of spiders.
When my boyfriend first told me he had a tarantula I was freaked out and refused to look it it.

2 years later and I'm quite fond of her

My boyfriend got her off of his brother who hadn't had her very long when his wife made him get rid of her.

Thing is, he has no idea what the ideal conditions are for a tarantula. We give her crickets once every month or so, and she's molted I think 3 times this year.

I'm just trying to figure out what she needs as I really have no clue.

[centroidelady]

Hi everyone-I am athlon2k2's gf. I guess AZ bark scorps are my favorite although i know i spelled centruoide wrong...and probably did again. lol. I love all arachnids and scorpions and learning more about them. When we visit vendors and big distributor stores I make sure they are being well cared for or else I will give them a piece of my mind! Love the group, thanks for having me!!!:}

 

[OutWest]

Hi ~
I'm new to Aracnoboards too....I am not afraid of most spiders but I have seen a few that look scary enough to me. We have a beautiful Kukulcania that has been living in between our kitchen cupboards for about 8 months. I finally saw her out a couple of weeks ago. I was so glad to find this board to get more information about them. I'm actually thinking of keeping her and her mate as pets if I can get them in a container. This is a great place to see all your spiders and to get some help. Thank you.

hi

Hi! My name is Jennifer--I am fairly new to spiders, although I've been fascinated by them for many years.

I am planning to go back to school as a returning student next fall to get my degree in entomology with an emphasis on arachnids.

I do not have any spiders except for an occasional Hobo or yellow sac, or steotoda that I catch in a jar and study with my daughter a few days before releasing, but plan to get a Mexican Red-kneed or a Pink Toed Tarantula next year. (I want my daughter to be able to handle it too, and she is just not old enough right now)

Nice to meet everyone!

Hi,
I am Benzin and writing from Hungary. I've been keeping spiders for 4 years. I have got allergie against spider hair so I have to change my collection. Although I still have A. geniculata,T. blondi and some Grammostola I focus more on Asian burrower, mainly Chilobrachys and Selenocosmia species. I love them and want to know everything about them.I also trade them.
