Dear all,

I've switched to a more anonymous username (some people might just not understand this interest) and just wanted to let you know. Previously I was "Kevin P..." and as of today "diadematus". Sounds good, I think.

Hello! I have never kept tarantulas before but I am very interested. I keep snakes and skinks. I am going to learn from this forum so I can keep my future tarantulas in the best conditions.

 

[spineless]

Intro

Hello. My name is Jim and I live just outside of Nashville TN.

I have long been fascinated with the spineless beings of our world. I’ve worked with and bred several types of reptiles over the years but am now directing my focus to Tarantulas and their prey. Even when keeping reptiles I found myself more interested in the insects that I fed them. I bred Zophobas morio (superworms) for many years and had a couple of colonies of hissing cockroaches. Camel cricket and black cricket projects were unfortunately aborted before fruition.

My past experiences with Tarantulas were with Avicularia sp., Brachypelma albopilosum, Grammastola rosea and a couple of unidentified species. My re-entry into Tarantula keeping is with a juvenile female Phormictopus cancerides that I got for my 44th birthday. She is awesome in the true sense of the word – inspiring awe.

My goals are:
1. To keep and successfully breed many species of Tarantulas.
2. To see and collect a Tarantula from the wild. (Aphonopelma sp., of course)
3. To attend Arachnocon 2007.

Hey everyone, I've been browsing these board's for sometime now. I've been interested in spider's most of my life. I have no clue what took me so long to get into T's but now that I am ordering my first T, the excitement is driving me nuts.:wall:I will be ordering a female G. Aureostriata in the next few weeks, I plan on posting many pictures of her so everyone can see how I'm doing raising my first T.

My picture can be found in the newest Who's behind the computer thread.

Any advice would be much appreciated, though I have read all the beginner information on this site time an time again, and from other website's aswell.

Hello all,

I am Aaron Mitchell. I teach photography and graphic arts and have recently gotten into T's when I began to use one as a subject for my photography. These little creatures make beautiful subjects and eventually I will try to get some photos up.

the P metallica will be very soon and also the striata. I've been into T's for a few years and have been an addict ever since the first one. I have lots of hobbys, and this is my favorate. It helps me take my mind off of everyday life. I'm 29 and my 7 year old daughter loves spiders just as much as I do.
Hell, half of those are her spiders. I have a friend thats a breeder so I help him for spiderlings in return. I did buy many of them. I feel in another year or 2, ill need help feeding my spiders. Great hobby.

Hello

Hello, I'm new to this fourm, but have owned a Haplopelma lividum (Cobalt Blue T) for 4 years now. I joined this fourm to gain more information about her. She was bought for an Earth Day Display origanally. My biggest question is what is her life span?

Introduction

I'm an old geezer who has had a fear of spiders all my life. I decided it was time to do something about that. I bought a Grammostola aureostriata to help me deal with my irrational fear. Now I'm hopelessly hooked. Already I'm shopping for another T, probably one of the Brachypelma. The sheer number of choices is part of the pleasure of having these pets.

Hi My name is Domino and I got my first T 2 years ago and have acumulated to about 87 not alot by just enough to want more.

 

[nothing_shadow]

Hey there everyone.
I'm new here to the Arachnoboards.
First off I will admit that my knowledge of tarantulas and scorpions is very limited. But thats why I am here.
I have been working with reptiles for a long time now and thanks to a wonderful girl I now have a much deeper appreciation for inverts.
For the past 5 years I have worked for a pet store (on and off), and I have done a "exotic animal education project" at local schools. My main goal is to teach kids that these are wonderful and beautiful animals, and while you always need to respect the possible danger of some of them, you don't need to fear and/or kill them.
I will no doubt have lots of questions to ask on here. So I guess on that note, I'll see you around
Kyle

Hello, er, I'm Chris, and I am twenty years old. I've been lurking these boards for some time now, and I was too shy to post anything. I began the hobby about eighteen months ago with a B. smithi, and uh, I don't really know what else to say. Look forward to meeting you all.
