Introduce Yourself

[lostriverdoc]

Hi, I'm Brian. Have been living in So. Arizona for 3 1/2 years now. Got fed up with the N.H. winters and packed up the wife and kids and here we are. Have just started keeping and collecting the unusual in this area and so far have only one T. (a Sunburst bought @ a local pet store ) Have seen some very small local male T's,but am only interested in finding females for now. Also have a L. hesperus (Black Widow) which are abundent in this area, and a C. exilicauda which I found by the pool about 6 weeks ago.Hope to get many more of the local arac's. and reptiles from around Az.

 

[Binky/Carol]

Hey , I am Carol, a transplant to WI from CA.
Been here 6 years now...
I got my first T, a venerable G. Rosea male.. that I didn't know was one.. till about a week before he decided to molt.. he already has his tibial spurs...
he passed on.
Got my hubby a brown phase Rosea for his birthday... (yah right)... he named her Binky.
I got a Honduran Curly hair after my male passed on.. and something happened to her.. after a good week, she died.. we weren't sure when but after 10 days of ICU, checking, asking questions.. posting on the ATS...
I finally buried her next to Rosy my male G. Rosea...
I went out and got a great deal on a Pink Toe..
And had a B. Vagans sent to me cause his person couldn't keep him any more.
He is just a little guy/gal...

SO now I am looking to replace my Curly hair, and want to find other WI, northern ILL.. T keepers...

Well, I'm really looking forward to learning more and helping others the best way I can. I have 16 T's as most of them are not over 8 months old. I do have about a 6 inch G Rosea who loves to climb up the side of the cage when she hears my voice so I can hold her. That is amazingly cute. OK let's get the ball rolling here. See ya'all inside.:clap:

My Turn

Hi All,
I've visited this site numerous time before, and even signed up about a year ago, but I've never posted anything. Time to change that!
My name is Bill, and I live in Montana. Tarantula keepers are few and far between here. Right now I have about 60 tarantulas, but in the past I've been know to keep up to around 1000. That's of course when I was more into the breeding than I currently am. I was real heavy into tarantulas in the 80s and 90s, but then had an accident in my bug room and killed off most of my stock, so I decided to throw in the towel. But, I just can't seem to get these creatures out of my blood, so I'm getting back into it again and I'm starting to stock up on Brachypelmas in an attempt to do some more breeding. I don't/won't limit myself to that genus though, and intend to breed others too.
I just got back from a collecting trip to the southwest, and boy was it great! I caught all kinds of inverts, and I can't wait to go back.
Well, I just thought I'd introduce myself. I anticipate spending more and more time here, so maybe we can chat some time?

well wlecome lisa lol!!! 21 rats?

Yep! I looove rats!Rats are my passion!

 

[Desert Drew]

Hello from Lake Mead, Nevada in the Mojave desert, scorpion country don't cha know?!!

My name is Drew, my better half is Micki (Mojave Micki).

We both love invertebrates and reptiles and have had many in the 22+ years of our marriage. We love going for hikes through the desert looking for critters and we are looking to expand our current collection of scorpions to include centipedes, millipedes, hissing roaches and of course many more varieties of scorpions. We are advanced keepers having kept Arizona Bark Scorpions, Desert Hairy Scorpions, Sidewinders, Tiger & Mojave Green rattlesnakes, many reptile species, Hissing Roaches, Solifugids, Tarantulas, Widows, Jumping Spiders, Mantids, etc., etc., etc.
If anybody needs to cut down on their collection or has too many babies we would be happy to help by paying for shipping (hint, hint)!

Anyway, we look forward to learning more about this hobby from all of you and hope that we can contribute something in return. We have lived in the Mojave desert for nearly 10 years and know much about it so don't be afraid to ask us.

Type at cha later,
Desert Drew & Mojave Micki

My name is Art. I live in Springfield, MO. I am married and have three girls. I am a long time fan of the boa constrictor and feel myself being pulled into the world of tarantulas. It's going to be a fun ride.

 

[Junkyard]

I guess I should introduce myself also, I am a friend of the herp world and fairly new to Ts.

It is good to see you here Art! Everyone, that is a man who is true to his name!

Newbie Intro

Hi! My friend, Trish, introduced this fascinating hobby and now it seems we can't get enough. I live in Texas, but grew up in New Mexico where Tarantulas were abundant. Now I'm collecting the very things my mother use to warn me about! I currently have 4 Aphonopelmas and 7 G. aureostriata slings captive bred and gifted by Trish. The most recent Aphonopelma was wild caught just this past weekend, a Rio Grande Gold. I have a list of species that I am hoping to acquire, but am wanting to get slings and raise them up, keeping a female of each desired species. My 12yo son is my partner in this hobby, but my boyfriend is also very interested. My 16yo son remains aloof. I've learned a lot by reading through several threads on the boards and look forward to lots more to come!

Intro

Hi, my names John and I got in to tarantulas when a friend had to get rid of his, I keep geckos so I have a lot to learn. Temps and humidity should be about the same, but I don't even know what kind of tarantula it is. So I posted a picture in the ID section and hopefully someone can help me, thanks.

 

[kevinr]

well hello

hello there

My name is Kev, I'm 27 and acually more of a fish keeper then anything else. Someone on another board I visit made a post about getting a mantid and that kinda sparked an interest, so here I am waiting for my mantid to arrive and looking to learn as much as possible about them.

I've gone for an african mantid, as I was told that they are a good beginners invert, so who knows where this new hobby could go...anywhoo..looking forward to leeching as much info from you guys, as I can:worship:
