Hi!

I'm Addi, though my friends generally address me as Cure thanks to my obsession with medical research and knowledge of the human body. I am 17, I own a dog and a bird, and I am working on attaining two tarantulas (GBB, Red Knee). I am sure that this is the beggining of a life-long obsession, and as soon as I am out of the house, I plan to own a ball python and another several snakes.
I am also interested in scorpions, though I know not a lot about them.

New to the site!

Hi my names Stephen!

I work in a petshop over here more so interested in the fishkeeping side of things but I have cared for a few different species of tarantula's over the past 3 years I have always wanted one as a pet!

So I finally plucked up the courage and just got my first Tarantula on friday just gone!

Its a mexican red knee! I named it 'chicarito' after a Mexican football player who plays for Manchester United!

Its fairly small and can probably be considered a spiderling but I am confident I'll be well able to care for it.

Here is a picture of it (don't worry I won't make a habbit of holding it i took this when i was putting it into it's viv)

I am amazed

:clap: I am completely amazed at the variety and beauty of these wonderful creatures. I am new to the site and hopefully I haven't posted on the wrong thread or answered something 5 years old. I don't like being new. :eek:

I bought a Chilean rose and she seems quite big (and fat) when I compare her to my son's. It has only been a few days and she has tried to climb the glass but I think her large bottom weighs her down. I have decided not to handle her, although Yoshi (my son's tarantula) loves to walk up my arm when I sit in the middle of the bed. Mine has climbed into my hand but I have left that in her home. I like the low care, my life is busy; I still get the enjoyment of studying those little hairs (I know they aren't hairs).

In the past I have had 2 anoles that lived 5 years and laid eggs, with one even hatching; 2 parakeets; 4 cats; many dogs; fish; and now Suri. I'd be interested in how you figured out what to call your tarantula. I went through days of names.

I'm glad to be here and enjoy reading your posts. I am learning a lot, and was ready for this one. My husband took the pink toe as it was too skittish for me and he is happy. :)

Hello!

Hey Everyone,
pretty new to this Forum, thought i'd join it because i was on RFUK
but spent more time on the "Spiders & Invertebrates" section than anywhere
else so i got told to check this forum out.

Just wondering if i could get to know a couple of people? :)

My name's Autumn and I'm new here. I joined because I just got two emperor scorpions from a breeder who couldn't keep them anymore and I want to make sure that I'm taking care of them properly. They are still young and I'm keeping them seperately, hoping to get some help sexing them.

Finally making a post

Hello! I've been lurking around this board for the past... 3 years or so? My arachnophobia turned into more of a fearful respect and admiration for these beautiful creatures.
I had hoped to join once I purchased my own so I could have a bit more to contribute the community... but that will never happen. So I've decided to keep learning as much as I can and live vicariously through the people here. :)

Hi everyone, Ive actually been on here for about a week or so. But I haven't really posted much. Anyways I have a B. Smithi, a B. Albopilosa, (bloth are slings and to small to tell the gender) And we just got a G. Rosea. Not sure if its a female or male. Cant really get a good picture of him/her from the underside. Any advise on how to tell?

I'm Renee, I'm from Kenora, Ont. I have 3 T's; a rose hair, mexican redknee and chaco golden knee. Almost had 4 but the little sling didn't make it. Very tragic still quite sad about him. He was a curly hair. Didn't know I'd love having the tarantulas around but once I had Unity for the first 2 yrs, I really got hooked.
