Introduce Yourself

[aprilmayjunebugs]

Hello, all you fellow eight-legged fanatics!
I'm Josh, I'm 28 and I live in Vancouver, WA.
We have plenty of beautiful, wild arachnids in these parts (though 99% of them are wolf spiders ).
I'm excited to share all of my findings with you, and I can't wait to chat with you all.
Thanks a bunch, and have a great day!

Welcome neighbor! I love the wolf spiders here so much, mostly because they are the ones who brought me to tears and trapped me in bathrooms before I learned more about our native creatures.

Welcome neighbor! I love the wolf spiders here so much, mostly because they are the ones who brought me to tears and trapped me in bathrooms before I learned more about our native creatures.

I used to be afraid of them as well, but mostly because of the horrible myths surrounding them but I've always been fascinated by invertebrates, so at some point I figured that there really isn't a reason to be afraid of them at all! Plus, they're definitely WAY more afraid of us than we are of them, which just adds to the empathy I feel for them.
I found these big ol' guys in my bathtub just last week. Beautiful creatures!

Hi, I'm Kornelia and I'm from Poland. I'm an 18 year old girl who's been into tarantula keeping for only about 3 years but I'm really passionate about it. I love animals and want to study them. Apart for spiders, I really love amphibians and horses. :3

Hello!
My name is Alex! I'm 24 and from PA. Huge gamer and veteran. I've been watching the forum for a while and figured I'd make an account and start becoming an active member!
I'm relatively new to taking care of T's(just under a year) but have been reading up on them for a while. I've had a love for tarantulas since I encountered them running across the desert in Arizona! I'm just excited to be a part of the community and increase my knowledge.
I have currently have a male(that's what we were told at the time), curly haired T and he seems to be doing great from what I can tell.

 

[Veno Manus]

Hello!!! My name is Kyle I'm an active scorpion keeper in the PNW. I keep all sorts of different localities from forrest and desert. Been keeping scorpions for I'd say about over 5yrs. Started with the Forrest Scorpion verity and recently jumped into the Desert species. Currently working on breeding Florida Bark Scorpions / Centruroides Gracilis with a fresh Brood and a recent link up. Been working everyday morning and night to provide the best lives for my little nightmares. I tend to stick to bio active and naturalistic setups providing replicated environments to my best knowledge not being from some of these places. I have a small YouTube called ( Veno-Manus ) where I upload random clip shorts of some of my scorpions and things I think are neat if I catch them. All I'm here to do is learn and see what others have experienced.

[TwinkleToes10]

Hello there, I'm Juliet from Florida. I own a juvenile T. Albo that I fondly call Twinkle Toes and Coconut. I've owned her for roughly 2-3 months now and have been loving every moment spent with her. I also plan on getting a G. Pulchra once I have a bit more money saved up. Of course I am a beginner but I have learned a lot just in a few months of owning a T.

I'm new to tarantulas and heard this is the place to go. I have a pink toe right now and I want to learn more about tarantulas and get a nice collection going. I'm from Florida
