Introduce Yourself

[Mez]

Just thought I'd say hi...
I live in England, UK.
No T's here at the minute, but plenty at work, within a week or two will have something of my own....not sure what quite yet though.

 

[Guesswhof96]

Hey, I'm Louis from Australia, I'm 14 and have been keeping T's for nearly 2 years now. It's hard to find someone my age who's more into Tarantulas and scorpions and centipedes than me My favourite inverts to watch are Tarantulas as they web up their homes and give the once empty container so much personality. However I have bad experience handling T's as they all tend to hate me, I love handling centipedes though!

my name is jessica. i'm 18, and i live in chicago. i work for the university of illinois extension program, at CHSAS. there, although my internship will be over by thanksgiving, we have two african millipedes, two north american millipedes, two different tarantulas (although, actually, maybe not, one might be dead), 12 bess beetles, a colony of approx 200+ madagascar hissing cockroaches, tons of red wriggler worms for composting, and in the past, we've attempted to take care of a praying mantis and hundreds of her babies, as well as a dear friend, a gigantic tomato horn worm, whom i loved and miss... ):
we take these insects to kids around chicagoland for an 'insect petting zoo'.. we've also been called a traveling bug brigade...
i'm only 18, i loved this job, and i'm planning on getting myself some millipedes too...

hi! my name is porfirio but all my friends call me Dorittos (yes i use double tt all thought its spelled with one t hahaha its my thing) i found your boards through youtube's tarantula guy i am sure most ppl know who i am talking about but originally i am here because i was mesmerized by a blue T i saw in you tube... after much looking at similar T's i began to fall in love and found my self captivated by this Blue 8 legged beauties, spiders have all way had a place in my heart. After much research into the hobby of T's i found a hidden hobby, i all ways believed individuals bought tarantulas for pets and what not but i never knew how big this hobby had been built around T's! i was shocked but thought it was completely awesome! i hope to learn more and i am sorry and pleas dont be offended if i say some thing dumb a new person would say or a simple mistake i am not a T expert but do want to learn. i work 10hrs a day Monday-Thursdays some times Fridays if i get over time(rarely). I hope you guys can teach me and ill try and log in as often as possibel and as to take my first step into this hobby in would really love some suggestions to a beginning tarantula or a very docile one i could buy =) thank you for any help every one!

Avicularia versicolor this is the T i want to hopefully have one day =)
i simply believe its beautiful and have been mesmerized by it as corny as it sounds!

'ello Arachnoboards

Hello. My name is Jason im married with 2 kids. I have a dog, 4 cats, 3 bearded dragons,Panther Chameleon, G.rosea, B.smithi and looking to aquire a GBB and a A.Avic. I use to be a heavy arachnophobe, wanting to destroy every spider on Earth. But thanks to watching videos made by RobC on youtube, I am now a T lover. :clap:

Within the next few months when I really get settled into T's I want to make the plunge into owning my first Pokie, I have fallen in love with the P.subfusca (low or highland) and cannot wait till I add one to the family.


Until then Ill feed my pet rocks, and get pooped on by my future Avic (when it gets here).

I am currently employed at the California Science Center as their Junior Entomology Keeper and have been in the hobby going on 8 years now.

Once I am finished with high school i plan on attending UCR, double majoring in both Entomology and forensics. As i said before i LOVE solifugids, so if you have any experience in keeping or know anyone who has any extra of these beautiful creatures please send me a PM. Your knowledge is always welcome

 

[Johnny1320]

I'm John. My gf and I have about 48 frogs, and were expecting a P.Scrofa from a member from another forum who breeds them. I've never really looked into tarantulas, but after looking at some of the pics people have posted, this could be trouble.

Trouble eating?

Hi Everybody,

I'm new here, but a spider lover ever since I was a little one. Anybody ever hear of the children's book "Be Nice to Spiders"? My wife and I BOTH grew up with the same book! Now we have our old books displayed above our Avicularia Avicularia's enclosure, and have named her Helen.

Anyways, I've had Helen for almost a year and recently she's had trouble eating. Her temp and humidity is right, but she's not eating he crickets for over a month now. She kills them, but doesn't eat. She's full grown and has molted twice. Should I try another food? Any help is greatly appreciated. THANK YOU

Was just the cutest thing ever, and so docile, it surprised me, but from then on, i just had to keep gettin more. I absolutely love poki's even though im not fortunate to own one (no moneez right nao). Uh, live in the good ol' U.S. of A. Glad to be here. Heard about this site from Rob C. :3
