Hello, my name is Caitlin, I just joined the forum about 10 minutes ago. I currently own 2 Rose-Hair Tarantulas and am looking into getting 3-5 more Rose-Hair slings for my collection. I'll post pictures of my spiders upon request. I also own 5 Ball Pythons, 2 Leopard Geckos, and a Corn Snake for all those reptile lovers out there. I'm very friendly and love to talk about animals, especially reptiles. Feel free to PM me! :D

New here too

Hi All,

I am Heidi, mom to a delightful almost 14 yr old special needs child named Sean who just got his first tarantula, a female panama red rump (her name is Shelob). Since he is not comfortable posting on bulletin boards, I get to do it for him, with his direction as to what to share, ask, etc. :)

Anyway.. I will go post on the questions board, as we are having a wee concern regarding little Miss Shelob.

Heidi

Hello

Hi everyone!

My name is Jeremy, I'm 30 years old, and I live in Nebraska, USA. I have been into spider collecting for about a year now, and have 9 spiders already. I joined arachnoboards to learn, and maybe meet new people who share this interest. I have already posted on "Tarantula Chat" and have had great luck with replies!...... however, I'm having a terribly difficult time navigating around the site altogether. I can't get any of my pictures to upload and have a difficult time searching for threads about specific topics. I am NOT computer illererate either!!! Thanks for having me at Arachnoboards, and I look forward to learning / sharing about spiders on here! Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Jeremy

Hi guys :D I'm from snowy Lithuania :D I'm only sixteen, as you can see from my nick-my name is Richard. I like T's most of all exotic creatures, dunno why, but they're cut for me :p My english is not perfect at all, but I think, that we'll live in peace :D What about my life....... I have younger sister, she's 10 now and she hates my spiders, but i don't care :D Also i love oldschool cars and I got one of them (still working on it, want to bring perfect condition to her) :p

Hi my name is Gabby. I'm 19 years old and I live in Milwaukee, WI. I joined this board because I recently purchased my first tarantula from a reptile show this past November. Her name is Stella and she is yet to get a proper ID (she was adopted and experts I have had look at her have given me mixed opinions). I used to own a Northern Leopard Frog and currently own two parakeets as well.

Hello, I'm Satu and I'm new!

Mr S and I have finally, after thinking about it for a long time, bought our first baby Ts: a gbb (unnamed as of yet) for him, and a G. pulchra (whom I'm calling Mort -- short for either Mortimer or Morticia) for me. We were only planning to get one, but this turns out to be impossible!

I have to say I adore the photographs some people manage to take of their spiders. My attempts so far have mostly come out a little blurry ("Yes, that little blob in the corner there is my spider!"), but I suppose there'll be plenty of time to learn...

Hello, new here and came across this board researching a Heteroscodra maculata I am planning to buy. The bite report section o this forum is great.

I have at the moment 2 B. Smithi, Grammastola Rosea, H. Lividum, and a B. Vagans. as well as a few corn snakes and bearded dragon, cats, dog hedgehog etc.

I used to have quite a few different pets when I lived in the states, but they are a bit more expensive and harder to come by in Europe.

Anyway, it's great how much more information is now available than it was 13 years ago when I was in the US.

Hi! My name is Chris and I'm new(ish!) to the T hobby. I have an A.avicularia and got an E.campustratus today!

Just got her out to check on her as she was really dehydrated when I opened her and she darted up my arm, onto my avic enclosure and fell about 30cm onto my bed. Good job it was my bed and not my floor...

Looking forward to learning loads more about T's :)

Happy New Year!

Hello everyone. :)
I have 2 selenopid spiders that I caught locally in Pompano beach, FL. I found the female when I was doing some work around my parents' home, I have had her for about a month. My 5 year old daughter spotted the male on the wall in our home nearly a week ago.
I can't seem to find much info on the care and mating habits of these arachnids, so I registered here in the hopes of learning more about these awesome creatures.​
I will welcome any advice that I can get on the care of these creatures. Also I would like to introduce the male and female for mating purposes, but I am afraid of doing that wrong, so I will wait until I have researched more on their habits.
I am not very good with computers, so it might be a while before I can post some pics.
