Introduce Yourself

[Lylelovett666]

Howdy. I just got my first T in about 30 years. I wanted an easy species so I got a 1.5” b hamorrii. I’ve had Boo boo for a week & find her behavior bewildering,in a good way. I’d like to work my way up to a baboon t of some kind. For now just enjoying this fascinating animals behavior.

Hello. It's been 25+ years since I've kept a tarantula, looking to learn more and get back to keeping them during these Covid-19 down times. Currently, we just have frogs, scorpions, rabbits, chickens, and a marine tank.

My name is Walter, and I'm extremely new to the field. I'm looking to get my first T., and I've got my heart set on the Ybyrapora Diversipes. I found this place through searching for this particular little lovely, as well as seeing lots of posts from this forum whilst looking up care, feeding, and husbandry videos.

Hi! My name is Euphemia, I'm 19. I am a new tarantula hobbyist, but I keep a few other inverts as well! I've worked with inverts, reptiles, etc. in a few jobs over the years and I recently got my first T's, a b. boehmei sling and an avic. I'm in the Charlotte area. My favorite inverts have always been snails (I have two right now that are quite...prolific, shall we say, so I have some babies for sale) but I've become very attached to my tarantulas in the few short weeks I've had them!! <3

Hi! I heard good things about this Arachnoboards. I had a Brachy Hamouri for years and want to get back into this hobby. I live on Lon Island, NY and have a little cottage on a lake in NH. I'm looking forward to learning from all off you. I also love the "Dark Den."

 

[AvicBud]

I'm casper. I dont currently own any tarantulas because my avic recently killed. I am very new to the hobby and would love advice on any tarantulas in general

 

[Jumper]

Hi I'm Cy,
As a kid, my twin brother and I used to have pet jumping spiders.
I don't have kids of my own, but my nephew is fascinated with jumping spiders.
You could say it uncle and nephew type of bond.
He's only 8 but sharp as a tack.
He knows his species.

BTW, nephew just told me the other day he wants a full grown
Hyllus cf giganteus & Hyllus diardii to add to his collection.
He has a full grown Phidippus audax (M).

Hey All,

Long time no see! I finally have some down time to come hang out and poke around the board. Life has kept me busy, and I look forward to catching up with my fellow arachnophiles. I am excited to share that my female G. pulchra may be gravid and dropping an egg sac soon!

Cheers!

Hello. Returning member here. My name is Chase. Kept various critters for years, haven't really had anything in the last few years. I just moved to Las Vegas from Bakersfield, CA and since life has settled down a bit, I decided to poke around the exotic pet stores around here and found a dream species of mine (P. Metallica) and that was all it took to jump start the invert addiction.

 

[HAUSAMANN peter]

Thanks for creating this forum.
I don't particularly like spiders, but I am very fascinated by them. Two weeks ago a jumping spider paid a visit to my abode, a male Menemerus bivittatus (Wall Jumper). I want to learn what I can from its behaviours.
Thirty years ago I kept a red-back spider for three years before letting her go again. She was my pet while studying at the University of Sydney (Ba Hlth Sc). I learnt a lot from that spider. So, it looks like I am repeating that particular part of my history again.

 

[Angel Dust]

Hello everyone. My name is Aidan, 32, soon to turn 33 next month, and I am in Oregon, U.S..
I am a first time spider owner as mine was a rescue. I've always been fascinated by spiders and wanted to own one, so when I had the chance, I took it. But not to worry, I'm learning fast and my spider Neith, is doing beautifully. She is a Rose Hair and super sweet and gentle.
I might end up having a few questions, but so far it's been smooth sailing. However I have owned other tank creatures, such as Ball Pythons and Bearded Dragons.

As it says in my bio, I'm an outdoor person, I enjoy hiking, camping, canoeing and horseback riding. Music wise I'm decently eclectic with Alternative, Folk, Jazz, Swing, Classical and some Soft Rock. I'm an avid reader, with my favourite book being "The Hobbit" by J.R.R. Tolkien. I am also a fan of cats, but currently do not own one, though my roommates do, so I get plenty of cat action.

I am a professional artist and student. I study anatomy, character and creature design and history of Animation. Other hobbies include study of culture, languages and manner with a particular focus on Africa.

Uhm, ah, I think that's about it. It's getting long. Happy to be here! I look forward togetting to know all of you!

Hey all, I’m Bobby and I’m new here. I have 10 tarantulas and currently work for a tarantula breeder. Just here to further my knowledge and help out where I can.

Hi, new register but I've been using the forum as a bit of a resource via google-lurking. Got into arachnids via the reptile->bioactive->isopods+springtails for cleanup->isopod morphs->dubia colony->tarantula route. Currently just keep a T. albopilosus and a D. diamantinensis. The curly hair is adorable and a very polite tong-feeder, but the little D. diamantinensis I picked up on an impulse via craigslist is the one that made me fall in love with Ts.
My favorite arachnid is Anasaitis canosa. Never kept one as a pet but I see them daily around the house and yard, so much personality in such a tiny package.

 

[Dumu]

Hey all. Bought a sling for my son and trying to get as much info as possible for everyone's benefit. Books help and have given us a frame of reference. Advice from real world owners helps with a moving animal that is proving to be full of surprises.

The username is my son's nickname. He got a kick out of finding the author of one of his books on this board (Mark Jacobi). Our first T is an A. Geniculata that my wife calls Tula.

[EvilTrailMix]

I'm not exactly new, but I guess I should introduce myself! I've been in the hobby since 1998. I registered here years ago to leave a review for Charles Black (Botarby8s), then completely forgot I even had an account. I used to be active on a different forum, which died years ago. I've used AB as a research tool for years, and when I tried to register recently, discovered I already had an account. lol Trying to get back into forums again.
