Hello Everyone!
I have loitered this forum for a little while as a guest so I decided to join in.
I live in Canada and I own a G. Rosea, it's my 2nd one, the last one i had was about 10 years ago. I still consider my self a beginner but, with a bit of knowledge. Once i figure how to post a pic i'll do that in the correct section.
Thanks!

Super new to tarantulas! A little help?
whatup guys!!!
I'm Kevin. 21. From Philippines.
Im really a noob when it comes to tarantulas. I just bought my GRAMMOSTOLA ROSEA 3 days ago. Before buying i used the power of the internet to research about tarantulas. I read that a rosea is a good starter T so I got one.
Im really enjoying it right now. Kinda sucks though that I still have to wait for years for it to be big..She's just an inch now. I named her Quentin Tarantula by the way. It was after the multi-awarded Hollywood director Quentin Tarantino. I'm currently a filmmaking student and I love watching movies. So there...
Any tips on how I can speed up her growth? I'd love to see her all grown-up.

T newbie
Howdy fellow (and experienced) fellow T keepers,
My name is Tony and I am from SLC Utah...Not a Mormon, but to each is their own. I have been a T keeper for about 3 months is all and have been amazed and impressed with these incredible creatures. I am 35 years old, 3 kids and a wife whom doesnt mind the T's, but wishes I took up reading instead . I did about 6 months research and reading on T's and keeping them before I purchased a G. rosea, then aquired a immature G. pulchra. Most recently, I wanted to try my hand at raising a sling so I now have a very tiny G. rosea and a A. avicularia, both of them are doing well so far. I look forward to my next few purchases as well as learning from you all about this awesome hobby :clap:

another intro
Hey guys,
I'm Lisa, just got my very first T, g.rosea of course. I named her Rozilla Spiderfox, or Rozilla for short.
I guess I am hooked. I found a lrg Wolf Spider in my house and mistakenly thought it was a Texas Brown juvvie. Let him go because he was obv doing a great job of eating the bugs around my house, but something weird happened. I wanted a real T and started researching them, found someone who was selling Ts and the rest is history.
I'm 29 yrs old, mom to two wonderful kids who are excited to go on this adventure with me. My chubby hubby is skurred of spiders, but for some reason, now he wants his own Ts. Go figure. LOL Other than that, I'm sure we'll figure each other out as we go.

Hi,
I'm Brad. Live in the Tampa, FL area with my wife and a houseful of pets.
I got into T's over 2 years ago. I'd been interested for a while, then finally took the plunge and have loved it ever since. Of course, the original 2 that I had planned to keep has now grown to 11, which I think in the T world passes for restraint...lol!
