Hi , My Name Is Lawrence And Im Addicted To Arachnids... 
...
...Hi from a learned noob
Hi I'm Sally from Northeast oHIo and, despite almost losing my right eye to a house spider five years ago (but that's a story for later), I have always loved spiders, and my interest in and respect for arachnids only continues to grow.
After about six months of reading about tarantulas and their care, I am finally going to be getting one. And I will probably be showing him/her off in the id gallery because the one calling to me at the local pet shop is labeled 'black birdeater', and given the unreliability of pet shops and common names, all I know is that it is a black T. Judging by all the webbibing in the tank and the fact that this poor fella was seen sitting in his water dish, I'm guessing he could probably be a swamp dweller.
Anyway now I'm just rambling. Don't be afraid to say hi; I do bite but T keepers should know how to handle that, right?! :}

G Pulchra MF
GBB male (will probably mature next molt)

Hi all
Hello Arachnoboards.. My name is Chris i have been Fascinated by Tarantulas ever since i was a young boy. Although i dont have any ts currently because of Money issues. I will start getting a collection going sooner or later. I have Lurked the boards for some time now. And i finally registered. Tarantulas have helped my life Tremendously. Before i was quite arachnophobic but when i decided to get a Grammastola Rosea. And i saw how gentle and how misunderstood these giant hairy spiders are. It changed my life forever. Now i never judge a book by its cover wether it be a human being or a Animal. Tarantulas helped me realize the outside is just that ..... the outside. and no matter how big and scary something may seem. It isnt always the case. I hope i can grow with the community and meet new friends and like minded people.

Greetings from cloudy Ohio
Hello arachnoboards members.
My name is Jacqueline and although I have been interested in insects and other arthropods for practically the entire length of my five year long journey towards earning a B.S. Biology degree, it was not until very recently that I began "collecting" Ts. I use collecting loosely here because I only have two at the moment and due to insufficient funds, I doubt this number will increase for at least a few months.
I joined arachnoboards because I have no experience in caring for anything smaller than a jack russell terrier and I am absolutely terrified that I'm going to screw something up and end up killing my poor fuzzy little 'nids. I look forward to all of you responding to my annoying beginner posts with links to other posts from 3 years ago that I was too lazy to search for myself

Hello, I am Bill Rubin. I own a Brachypelma boehmei.
Hi,
I am Bill Rubin. I live in Denver, CO. I just bought my first T. A Brachypelma boehmei. We love her so much. I am hoping to add many more Ts and other great arachnids. I am a Ball Python breeder and love almost all animals. I have a wife and two kids and a beautiful male chocolate lab. I have been married for 22 years. Well, it is great to be here and I can't wait to learn so much about my T.
Regards,
Bill Rubin

Hey everybody,
Well I recently came across a T about a week ago and i am already hooked. Initially, my cousin found it on the ranch he works on here in Tracy, CA and gave it to me. My guess is that it's a 'Carlsbad Green' but i am not 100% on that. Anyhow, i have already found a ton of useful things on here and I hope the questions that i post won't be a nuisance to those experienced keepers. Look forward to interacting with everybody.

New to T's
Hey Im Travis from Omaha, Nebraska.
I grew up around insects and small exotic pets. For the most part Im into saltwater/freshwater fishtanks, reptiles/amphibs/ and small mamals.
I was a volunteer zoo keeper at the Henry Doorly Zoo for 4 years and grew up with a uncle entomologist. Recently I got a Brachypelma Vagas sling after a friend got me into her T's. One more amazing species to add to my collection!
Look forward to reading more on the forums. Im use to snakes and lizards and ant farms so this should be an interesting change.

Hello im Jon currently living in Anchorage, AK. Just getting into the Tarantula hobby myself.
Ordered four G. pulchra (all these latin names are a pain in the ass) spiderlings from www.Tarantulas.com as my first T's. Should be very interesting raising these little guys and quite enjoyable too.
I've been trolling through a lot of these threads and found tons of useful information that I'm sure will help me out later on. This is just a great forum!
Stories or tips about the G. pulchra would be more then welcome too.
