Introduce Yourself

[lilly]

Hello, I had no clue this forum existed. Somebody recently referred to "the board" and explained it to me briefly. I work as a middle person distributing inverts and reptile from wholesalers to local pet shops and specialty shops. I am mainly here to sell surplus that the locals don't have room for when they come in. There is also a lot to be learned here, and I look forward to that.

 

[Delwin]

I am also new to T... looking up to learn how to take care of them.

My intro; a poem. sorta

My name is Abbey,
I'm from,
cincinnati;
I have,
a Brachypelma Vagans,
and I like to chill,
with Pagans.

I can't think of anymore

But yeah, I used to be a cat person then I got my first Firebellied toads,then I kept fish for a while (bred bettas ) then I got back on the herp wagon (lol) when I got my leopard gecko, well before I got my leopard gecko-'cause I got into all that reptilian research...but now I'm pretty much addicted-and theres no cure (I've checked...) then I got my first tarantula today as mentioned above in my beautiful poem. Can't wait to get more. as soon as I move into a bigger place I will.

Siyo! My name is Nathan and I'm a T addict. Right now I have four in my collection. I had thirty at one time and my ex killed everyone of them one day when I was at work. Needless to say I am now remarried with a new family of T's building up.

hey,
So I came on this sight to ask questions about my Chaco Golden Knee. I guess I am a bit worried with it. This is actually my second. My cat killed my first one. It was a rose hair.

Hi!
I am not new to keeping insects but new to exotic species of insects. Most of what I raise now are for food or education purposes. I am adding some praying mantis and a tarantula to my group. I will be asking some housing and husbandry questions before long.

Hi All

I'm new to the Boards. Have some previous experience with P.Imp and Had. Arz. in the past. Looking to get back in with a communal tank...thinking either B. Jacksoni or Hottentotta maybe. Very interested in any suggestions or info on setting up my enclosure. Would love to share my current ideas of a split Dry/Slightly wet tank using a false bottom. Let me know if you have done this.

 

[TonyIzquierdo]

I am new to the boards

Hello everyone,

Happy New Year to all...

I am totally new to the arachno thing, but I love it thus far.

I have a Gramastola Rosea and I think it is a king baboon...I don't know what the second is because I took it in as a rescue.

I am looking to grow my collection.

[binary71]

Hello all. I am new to the board and love all the info here. I have had several Gramastola Rosea and am wanting to get many more now. I also keep several reptiles. Currently i have a ball python, a bearded dragon, 2 geckos, a prairie kingsnake, and a g rosea. I also breed my own mealworms. If anyone would like to trade mealworms for tarantulas let me know and i am sure we can work something out.

Thanks Rich

Hi everyone! I am pretty new to the forum and don't have any posts yet but i figured it was about time to start! i am 18 and and have loved inverts since i was a little kid but only recently became interested in tarantulas. i have been keeping them for a few months now and absolutely love it!! hopefully i will overcome my shyness and be posting a lot more in the future! cheers!

 

[Shiranui]

Yo. I'm Shiranui (not my real name, but I like it) and I'm an invertebrate enthusiast out of Southern California. I can't keep many of my own, so I compensate by taking pictures. I'm more of a photographer than an owner, but I hope to accumulate more critters. My pictures will probably be popping up here.

Otherwise, I'm a freelance writer and web graphic designer planning to major in Japanese with an independent study of insect photography.

introduction

Hello everyone, Just intoducing myself. I have been a relentless herper since i was young, and im very fond of breeding rare african cichlids. I have just now started getting into arachnids. But I have collected scorpions at night all the time in summer with my blacklight for pesticide research. Anyways just saying hello to everyone

 

[MadProfDeemer]

Greetings.

I started collecting tarantulas two years ago with a curly hair spiderling. I didn't obtain any more for over a year. Then my dad and I started
collecting more. In the last couple months are collection has exploded to 18 tarantulas. We initially focused on Avicularia species and then things sort of got out of control. We just get one of each species with no intention of breeding them (for now).

helloooooooooo to you!!

Well, hi there! (waves)

So, here I am..the proud new owner of the most adorable tarantula. (OK, actually, it is my son's..she was a birthday gift for my son..but we both claim her as our own lol)

This is our first tarantula pet..and we are learning so much from her. we have both looked over the net for info on rose hairs..(her name is "Rosie..Posie"). I wanted to join here after seeking info and have found so much already by reading the forum.I will try to put a picture of Rosie up soon.

We are eagerly waiting for her first molting..but so far nothing..*patience we tell ourselves..patience*

anyways..that is us for now..

we look forward to learning more from here and sharing our Rosie with you.

Hi all,

I just recently discovered these gorgeous creatures (and awesome site!) and adopted a beautiful G. Rosea named Rosie. I fell in love with her the moment I saw her and she crawled into my hand... she is such a sweetheart. I'm absolutely stunned by the pictures posted on this site, and I'm looking forward to learning alot and contributing to the hobby
