Introduce Yourself

[rYe]

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

LM<edit>AO nothing like telling everybody you knowingly buy illegal exotics.

Heya arachnophiles! Me and my girlfriend are going to get a few tarantulas (3 B. vagans slings to be exact) and we decided to do as much research as we can before actually getting them. So I decided to join this site. Caring for invertabrate animals isn't new to me, I have cared for land hermit crabs for some time.

 

[carrieh]

My name is Carrie, I'm from ontario canada. I already have a Grammostola rosea and am going to be getting 2 more in feburary. A Brachypelma albopilosum, and a Grammostola aureostriata. I would love to get more, but alas my husband doesn't. Maybe one day.

[Chameleo]

I am me

Hello everyone. I am new to this whole spider raising thing, but a friend of mine told me to join this website and I did. I do not own any tarantula's (unfortunately), but having a small child makes things a little difficult. I do, however, own a pair of Chamealeons, Jordan and Ghost, which i plan on breeding next summer. I have recently added to my collection about a dozen foaches (a gift from my friend) so I can breed them and have my own food fromthe young... Someday lol. My name is Magui and I am from Iowa. I am 23 years old, and my son is 1. I do not know much about the tiny, amzing world of insect and arachnids, but hopefully this site will help me learn a thing or two... Bonne journee!!

Magui :3:

Hello, I have been out of keeping Ts for a number of years and the addiction is back! Thanks

 

[OTwolfe]

hello there

Greetings, I'm a 21 year old occupational therapy student from Michigan. I was introduced to arachnoboards by my beau, and found it facinating. I don't have any inverts right now, but I am working on welcoming a leapord gecko to my family- my first herp To be truthful, I am somewhat arachnophobic, especially of the true spider body type. However for some reason, T's are not as frightening, and I managed to actually hold one of my beau's a. avic quite comfortably. I'm hoping that as I learn more, I can conquor my fear. T's are very facinating, and I'm looking forward to learning more.

Hello,

My name is Rich and I am a 29 year old father of 2. Some people on this site know me from other sites, and other, well hello there.

I figured I would introduce myself to everyone. I currently don't own any inverts, but I do intend on adding some to my "pets list". I currently keep reptiles, and I also have several more of them I wish to add.

Hi there everyone,

My name is Adam Hundt from Seattle, WA and I've recently started a website called TarantulaCages.com, which specializes in hand made acrylic cages made just for tarantulas.

I've been a longtime "lurker" to this site, and finally made an effort to contribute. I hope you will check out the site and give me some feedback, and maybe even buy a cage for yourself!

Cheers!
Adam
