Introduce Yourself

[Hoxter]

Hi everyone, my name is Lucas. I'm Polish student studying abroad in Tianjin (China). I'm pretty new to the hobby (just got my first tarantula few days ago), however I've been interested in it for past few months. As I finally have my GBB, I'm officially becoming active on the forums to make sure my tarantula gets everything she needs.

[Lasiodora]

Hello Everyone,
I thought I’d reintroduce myself. I think I signed up here in 2002. I had a pretty big and varied tarantula collection around that time. I sold everything in 2006 to focus on breeding snakes. I never lost interest in tarantulas but life made it difficult for me to jump back into the hobby. Well, this year was the year for me and I jumped back in with the purchase of two Avicularia avicularia. Hoping to add some more through out the year. Especially more avics, Asian species, and my favorite genus...Poecilotheria.

What did you like Öland! Nice nature eigh

Very nice area to visit, we did a lot of driving and seeing the different sites. I would love to go back again some time.

And you have family in Kalmar you said! Cool! What are they? Like related or something!?

My Farfar and Farmor have a summer house close to Kalmar. We stay there to go hunting and fishing in the summer and my Farfar lives there during the moose hunting season. My dad is from Växjö and that is where my Farfar and Farmor spend most of their time. Actually I am planning a trip to Växjö this summer to visit them and we will be in Kalmar for one or two weeks.

Hi, I'm Ezekiel my age is 16 (you can call me zeke for short) I've been reading in this site for quite a while. I like arthropods quite a much, had my first when I was nine (a scorpion) that lasted for about two years, and keeping that scorpion made my fond of arthropod grow and now got a lil collection consisting of 2 centipede 3 tarantula and two scorpion.

Hi everyone! I have recently taken the plunge into invertebrates and have started with millipedes. In the near future I hope to get some more with the end goal of having some tailless whip scorpions as well. Knowing myself, along the way Ill probably end up with a bunch of different species of millipedes but for now Im starting with two.

 

[mushuporker]

Hey there, my names Jess. I'm 23 and I'm an avid exotics hobbyist. I finally decided to take the plunge into Tarantulas. I got my first two on the 26th. A 1 inch B. hamorii(Aragog) and a 1/4 inch N. chromatus(Kumo). I'm extremely nervous, which tends to be my general state of being anyway lol. I named them after my two favorite things... Aragog for Harry Potter and Kumo for Japan.

 

[RTB92]

Hey everyone, my name's Richard. I live in Stone Mountain GA, and I've been lurking around here for a few months, doing research before I get my first Ts. I've made the order, and the slings are on the way, so I figured it was time to make an account.

 

[Preyfortheweak]

Hi everyone! I am new to the hobby (got my 1st T in October of last year and now have 4 total), but have always found spiders fascinating. I have been reading threads on here since then, but finally made an account because I was sick of not being able to see all of your pictures! I look forward to exploring the invert world and being a part of the infamous arachnoboards community.

 

[JenSkin]

My name is Jen! I've been a T owner for about 3 years. Its my first real time one this board. I love the community and the gathering of info! Ill be asking tons of questions as my collection grows. 11 in total now.

 

[TheWidowsPeak]

Hello, Just now getting back into the hobby after a LONG hiatus... Been lurking a bit and I'm amazed at how much has changed since I've been gone. I won a freebie L. parahybana sling from a youtube giveaway last summer and that gave me the itch, picked up a B. albopilosum from a local pet store last week and then yesterday had a give me an OBT sling. So I think I may have begun my descent into a collector. I'm going to try and stick with NW species with the exception of the OBT of course. Anyway I'm looking forward to learning and seeing how the hobby has changed.

 

[JoJoLani]

Hiya! New to the hobby here but within a month I've already gotten 3 new lil buddies. Used to be scared of anything with more than 4 legs but then I actually decided to take the time to learn about them. I'm hoping to make some friends to geek out with here.

 

[TCDeluxe]

Hello everyone! I have four little buddies on their way. The enclosures are ready. Can't wait to meet them!
Nice to see such an active community and to find a great source of information.

 

[Civilian]

Hey all! I am very excited to join an active community. I am a new T hobbyist, and looking forward to future adventures down the road. I have a B.boehmei and N. chromatus being delivered very early next week. I eventually will step into the realm of Old Worlds, specifically Baboons, but will start out with some New Worlds to get my feet wet and proper husbandry practices down before moving to more difficult animals. Thank you for having me, and I look forward to meeting you all, and learning new info!

 

[SavageCritter]

Hello folks! I'm getting back into Ts after a substantial break. Mostly experienced with New World species, with a soft spot for avics and dwarf species in particular. It's nice to see one of the old forums is still going strong! Looking forward to the weather warming up for better sling shipping conditions

I used to have "pet" wolf spiders that lived in the garden wall, who I would bring ants and other small offerings to. It was fascinating to watch the spiders at work, though I did apologize to the ants!

 

[xzpat]

Hi guys, new to the hobby, my name is Vincent from the Philippines. Looking forward for new friends. I started with 9 spider lings and now they are 24

 

[Whiskey]

Hello all. I'm recently into the hobby of tarantula keeping, and have been lurking here for a bit, looking at this and that. I've currently got five Ts and looking to get more to expand the collection and knowledge base for keeping them!

N. Chromatus, L. Parahybana, P. Irminia, B. Vagans, B. Emilia.

 

[Olemier]

Hello all! I’m Josh, I’m also very new to this hobby. I just picked up my first T a few days ago after a lifelong interest in tarantulas. I’ve loved spiders my whole life.

I’m currently at University studying Computer Science with a minor in Philosophy. This is a side hobby that’s always been incredibly interesting to me so I’m happy I’ve found a place for people with similar interests!

Hope to be pretty active on here from here on out, nice to meet you all!!
