Hi

Hello EVERYBODY!

I'm not too new to spiders... but I am new to owning my own T. I'm doing the research and will be looking to get my first T soon.

A short shout from Tucson, Arizona

Warm greetings all from Tucson, Arizona.​

New to the boards, and just getting back in to the hobby after returning to the U.S. following my retirement from the military.

I have previously done some snake rescues and had a decent snake collection (some hognoses, royals, corns, bulls, ratsnakes, and more) as wells as beardies and agamas... but turned out enjoying the arachnids best.

Currently I have the following either in hand or on order:

Phormictopus cancerides
Acanthoscurria geniculata
Grammostola aureostriata
Citharischius crawshayi
Chilobrachys fimbriatus

Look forward to reading around here and seeing what others have to say.


Adios,
BobH

Hi!

My name is Heather, I'm 28... I would really like an arboreal - i'm thinking either an Avicularia versicolor (antilles pinktoe) or a Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (green bottle blue)

Hi Heather,
I've kept a C.cyaneopubescens and loved it. Used to hate to see it kick up hairs, being so beautiful and all. It was easy to keep. Check out http://www.bighairyspiders.com/cyaneopubescens.shtml
for care information.

Have fun,
/s/

Hey Nigel,

I just got back from KL after having lived there for 3 years. I was out near Ampang point, before the flyover -- near the Myanmar Embassy -- the one that kept getting torched. I was right across the street from that.

Got both my dogs, a terrier mix and an English bulldog, in KL. It was fun, but nice to be back in Arizona.

Hey my name is Mike Morra, i currently reside in Ontario, Canada. I got into this new hobby 4 months ago when i stumbled accross an illegal exotic animal booth at a flea market locally. Once i saw the tarantulas that the dealer had, i knew that i had to purchase one. I wanted to buy a cobalt blue, but it was only 1 inch in legspan at the time and was 75 bucks. Instead i bought a Costa Rican Zebra T. So far i am very pleased, it has molted and started turning black with markings on its legs.

My next purchase will be a Singapore sp Blue Tarantula. I know it seems like a big step from a beginner T keeper to having one of the rare'r (sp?) species of Tarantulas, but these T's especially the females with their blue/purple colouring are just amazing.

If anyone knows any places in Canada who has recently mated two of these T's and has slings to sell please by all means PM me. Thanks

Hey dudes,

Just started checking out the forum the other week and notcied a whole lot of useful information for people interested in T's, like myself.

My love for spiders started about 3 months ago, one fateful morning i woke up and noticed a small, but still scarey, Huntsman spider on the roof of my Melbourne house. So i did the usual and caught him in a glass. Instead of throwing him out though, i kept him. At first i kept him in the glass itself, feeding him daddy longlegs and the occasional fly for about 3 or 4 days, until i built a halfassed home for him.

Hes been living happily for the passed 2 or 3 months, eating flies, moths and cockroackes. But enough about my huntsman, i want a Tarantula.

Im going overseas for 6 months this year, but when i get back, im going to go out and purchase a terrarium, all the equipment, then a mad looking spider. So i may be asking a few questions around here to try and learn as much as i can.

Cheers guys.

Hello everyone!

My name is Jerry I'm from Chicago IL I'm 28 I have owned T's for about 3 years now. Was a member of spidertak.com and since that site is gone I think. I thought I should be a member in this site plus I think this site is superior to that other site, Well I hope I get to know at least a couple people. Thanx to all.
