[GreenOasis]

We're primarily breeders of reptiles; cornsnakes, ratsnakes, kings, milks, dragons, leopard geckos. We recently started a new addiction with mantids & now hubby is looking at getting into scorpions, so thought this might be a good place to pick up more information about them. We have two websites, one dedicated to reptiles (greenoasisreptiles) and the other dedicated to mantids & roaches (mantispets.weebly.com)
We're looking forward to learning a lot on this forum & hopefully, sharing a lot as well!

Greetings from Central Ohio

After watching an episode of Bugging Out, I acquired a taste for exotic pets. I started researching invertebrates online, and most of my Google searches led back to Arachnoboards.com. Based on my findings so far, a Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens seems pretty appealing.

Best Regards,
Tom

Hi All!

We have been on the board for about a month now and decided it was about time to start getting formal. We are newer to the hobby but have a huge passion for Tarantulas. We like the board a lot as it is a great resource for about everything related to Tarantulas. We currently own over 35 T's and with two with potential egg sacks on the way that number is expected to grow quickly. We are always looking for something new to add to our collection and when we have extras they are always up for sale or trade. We are glad to be a part of this wonderful community.

[Hattie]

Hello,

I'm Cat, Hattie is the name of my first and much loved, first tarantula, she's a beast of a Chilean Rose. I also have a Martinque Pinktoe ling, who is rather blue at the moment and has therefore, has acquired the name blue Waffle!

I'm fairly new to the tarantula world, but am very keen to know more..

I'm finding it hard to navigate my way round arachboards, so any tips would be great.

I just saw a Haitian Brown for sale, £3.50 Christmas bargaaaain! But, I don't know a lot about them, apart from they're a bit 'defensive', which I assume means they're little terrors! Any advice on these would be wonderful!

Thanks!

 

[c0rrosion]

Hi all, I'm female, I'm 25, and I live in East Lansing, MI, US. I work part-time in both a smoke shop and a love boutique; it's a glamorous life I lead.
I have been an animal lover of all sorts ever since I was young, including a fascination for bugs & arachnids starting very early. My first arachnopet was a black widow that I found in a bundle of grapes when I was working in a restaurant about 6 years ago, and I kept her for about a year and a half before she passed away. Her name was Bitch-eater.
I also recently had a vinegaroon that I had for almost a year whom I loved dearly, her name was Chip, but she took a tumble when one of my skittish friends was holding her (my mistake, which I deeply regret, of course) and her tail broke and she never recovered.

I decided to finally join because for giftmas this year, my boyfriend got me a baby amblypygi/tailless whip scorpion and I had some questions about it, so here I am.

If there are any mid-Michigan people that would like to chat, feel free message me!

Hi All,

I'm Juan, I'm from South Africa and live in a small place called Bloemfontein, I'm 25 years old and just got into tarantula's, actually joined this forum looking for more information about T's specifically enclosures, but there a wealth of information on here, ready for the leaching

Luckily I saw some excellent posts from Steve aka Talonwd, and that's inspired me even further --- > Steve follower :worship:

At this stage I've got a Nhandu chromatus, probably not a excellent first choice but I couldn't resist his/her charm, he/she (Yeah Yeah, not gotten around to sexing it yet, still waiting for he/she (lolz did it again) to molt) is almost 3 inches now, and looks like it's in the pre-molting phase but then again hard to say because these guys love to feast!

Would love some additional information on these beauties, so if anyone is reading this any pities me send me PM ;-)

Hello Everyone,

My name is John. Im from beautiful Newfoundland, Canada. I joined this out of general interest in inverts of all kinds and to try to get some tips for my new Lasiodora parahybana.

Cheers

 

[Colbymgeek]

Hey, I'm only fifteen, but I've been a fan of spiders for years. I used to study them in my spare time on the internet and look for them outside. About ten months ago, my idea of maybe having a pet tarantula became a reality, and my dad got me a B. Boehmei. That's when I started looking into tarantulas specifically and began studying those. Today, I have four tarantulas, including my dream spider, the Poec. Metallica ( ), and I aspire to be an arachnologist.

 

[cadster]

I'm Carlo, relatively new to Ts. I started this last mid-November, I got my first T for my birthday - B. Albo. And got the C.fasciatum and G.rosea after a week. Then come December I got the GBB.

Now I already have 6 sp! and its really addictive. Here are my first 3 sp:

left to right - B. Albo, Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, G. Rosea

My most prized one - Greenbottle blue sling, can't wait for it to grow! it eats well.

My last purchase yesterday was a L.Parahybana (3i) and a P.Cambrigei around 2.5cm.

i found this forum as I was searching for a more direct way of acquiring Ts. Trusted sellers here in my country are limited, that's why I'm thinking of getting them directly. If there's anyone here who can help me with that, please let me know and let's talk.

Likewise, I hope to learn more about my current fascination in Ts as I read on.

 

[kitkat39]

Hi everyone!

I'm from Orange County, California. My love for pets and animals sort of goes in cycles. I think I've owned just about every animal out there at one point or another, but I'm sure most of you have too so there's nothing special there. I'm currently keeping smaller reptiles and insects like geckos and mantids. I've kept scorpions before some time back in 1996 and didn't really know what I was doing, but still kept them going. I had Emperors and Desert Hairy Scorpions at that time. It sort of ended when my brother got out of prison and shared my room with me. It slowly became HIS room as I slowly ended up sleeping on the couch since he'd bring over his late night girly friends and eventually put all of my stuff out in the yard where it ended up raining heavily and drowning all of my animals in their own enclosures. Thanks Bro!

I've recently got a spark back for Scorpions and Tail less whip scorpions. I like weird looking things in general. I usually don't like venomous things, but I'll make an exception for the Scorpion just because I love the way they look.

Anyways, looking to make new friends along the way and learning more as the days go by. =)
