Introduce Yourself

First & Probably Last Message From Me

:razz: Hello everyone, my name is John, aka Ogre, and I live in Houston Texas. I currently don't keep anything because of tight $$$$ issues, but that doesn't keep me from learning about all the interesting creatures this world has to offer!!! I join several forums that I find to be well run and interesting, for different types of animals, as I really like them all. I don't ever post in the forums, but I enjoy reading about critters through the eyes of people who keep them. Thanks guys... keep up the good typingeek: 'cause I'm watching you!!)

Hey all,

I'm Alex, and I'm from Dallas, Texas. I came across this site while doing research for a school project. For one of my classes I have to build a Flash site for a fictional company, and I decided to make a company that sells tarantulas since I think they're cute.

I don't own any yet. I'd love to get a G.pulchra, but I have no idea where to find one around town. Also, there's the whole poor college student thing (again! working on degree #2).

Hi folks,

My name's Richie, I'm from Denver Colorado. I came across this site doing a web search on my Scolopendra Subspinipes, and I've gotta say that I look forward to being a part of the forum.

I've been into herps for the majority of my life (I've had reptiles and amphibians for about 20 years now), and just recently delved into the arachnid and Myriapod world.

Currently I own a Vietnamese Giant Centipede, a Red Thick-Tailed Scorpion (babycurus jacksoni) and a very cool little wolf spider that I found cruising around my work.

Lookin' forward to talk to you all.

wassup peeps!

Waddup all. My name's Fortunato but just call me Forty for short. I got into this awesome hobby when I graduated from high school. My brother bought me an emperor scorpion as a graduation present and since then I loved it. I currently still own that same scorpion and planning on getting a fat-tailed one soon.

n00b introduction

Hello, I'm new to Ts in general. I've never owned a T, but I'm doing some research into them because I'm considering it. I'm thinking of either a normal Rosie or a B. Smithi, or a Curly Hair. I don't know latin names very well at this point, so you'll have to bear with me as I learn them.

I've got quite a bit in hand already, to suit most stages of life a T might go through, including most hideys and covers. All I lack, it seems, is substrate, food, and an actual T. But you know, I'm still unsure if they're for me, and atop that, I'm not sure which one to get, or what stage of life to get it in.

Hoping to find many answers here.

Hi all

My name is Kain, 24 years old form the UK.

I bought my first spider yesterday, a Costa Rican Zebra Tarantula.

At the moment he's kept in sterilised jam jar along with sterilised peat and a few little cork rocks.

Hes only about 15mm at the moment, but I have the full set up for when hes a little bigger (I was told to keep him in a jar while he is so young so he don't escape)

I got him (or her) home and fad him a few crickets, first this he did was kill and eat it. A friend of mine who has kept spiders for 40 years, said it's a fantastic sign that he's hungry, especially having been moved about.

Anyway I will shut up now

Kain

What's up everyone

Hello, all my name is John 24 years old and I have chose to take up the tarantula hobby. Most of my tarantulas I have brought and will buy are going to come from Botar (botarby8s.com). For those of you who order online or live in the KS area you probably know botar as being one of the most trustworthy, and dependable breeder of inverterbrates.

From Botar I have aquired a Antilles Pinktoe Tarantula (Avicularia versicolor), two Cameroon Red Baboon (Hysterocrates gigas), a Emperor Scorpion (Pandinus imperator), and a Brazilian Giant Blonde (Nhandu vulpinus). Once, i get a little bit more money I'll be adding more fiesty, aggressive and fast tarantulas to my collection.

I usually ask a lot of questions because the more I know about my tarantulas the better care I can have for them.

So hello everyone!!!!:clap: below is a picture of my one of my newest family members this is a Brazilian Giant Blonde (Nhandu vulpinus)

Hey!!

I am from Long Island, New York and have owned spiders, one at a time, for 30 years. Had mexican redlegs for a long time, but bought a green bottle blue for the first time last November. He is a quick one, and a HUNGRY one!!

I am very happy to have found this site, as I have used the postings and the live chat to learn more than I ever knew.

Thanks for being here!:clap:

Hel-o

Guess it's time to introduce myself after being registred here for a while now.

Hi, I a 24 year old guy from Norway and my name is Robin. (Excuse my english if it's poor.)
I've always been fascinated by tarantulas, snakes, scorpions etc. but never really thought of owning one myself before I suddenly "get thrown" into the hobby when saying yes to take care of my friends B.vagans while he's in Austria for 6 months.
And within a few days I'm totally in love with this little creature!
So now I've bought my own terra, and just looking for the right girl to move in

Besides this I'm into weightlifting and nutrition.
I love music, and I have a maybe fading interest for motorcycles and cars.
I live with my girlfriend, our soon 1 year old daughter named Aurora and our dog (english setter?).

Good to be here.

PS: Great that the forum is powered by vBulletin, I think they're the best ones:worship:

Hey

Hey all, thought I'd introduce myself. I'm not new to "bugs" (it's what my wife calls them) but I had to give them up when I moved from San Diego to Tacoma a couple years ago. Went from about 200 inverts to nothing. I ran a herp and fish shop in the San Diego area and could keep my inverts in my office. Had about 100 various spiders, scorpions, millipedes, centipedes, tail-less whipscorpions, solfugides, vingaroons and a few insects. My wife is extremely "bug" phobic so I had to give everything but a few herps up because of the no "bugs" in the house rule. All is not lost though. I've got a friend who doesn't have "bug" restrictions at his house so we're partnering up on some breeding projects. The collection is tiny for now but is going to grow rapidly. Currently I have a very awesome Cobalt Blue, two very gravid Vietnamese Centipedes, a pair of African Giant Black Millepedes and a pair of Centruroides(females gravid) that I haven't been able to identify yet. I would really like to aquire some Avicularis urticans as this was my very first breeding success and they are still my all time favorite pink-toe. Also Robert(last name maybe Lamb) please PM me. The only thing damaged in the move north was my computer and I lost all email addresses. This is Mark formally with Live Cargo. Mark

[rooster]

Hey

33/f/USA PA Im usually into friendlier, furrier animals 6 cats, 3 dogs, 2 cows, 1 horse. But I had a friend pass away and no one wanted his tarantula so I took it. Needless to say its facinating! I found out its a G rosea and I figure its about 14yrs old. Since then I have gotten a Avicularia versicolor sling, and a Haplopelma lividum.

Any way Im usually not really into message boards and such, but I have some specific questions about different spiders and it seems I just cant find the answers for them the web, so here I am. Hope you all can help.
