Introduce Yourself

[CanesGalactica]

Since I posted already what I look like (oh no!) I suppose I ought to be proper and introduce myself.

My name is Christine and I am 22 yrs. old. I live in Virginia currently (it's hot and sticky all the time and rains too much) having just graduated with a degree in Commercial Illustration from CMSU (that's in Missouri). I should be job hunting or doing something productive, but... after 4 straight years of college (no breaks for summer!) I decided to bum around, cosplay, work on a new portfolio (I threw half of my old one out yesterday) and finish one or two commissions that people have waited on for a summer or so.

I have two cats (kittens) Magellan (boy) and Galaxy (girl)... they are adorable little balls of fluff that chew on or get into everything. I guess that's what happens when you have kittens. I also have two tarantulas, one Grammostola rosea and the other Grammostola aureostriata. The latter one is very young (less than a year I would guess) and just molted. Once upon a time I owned a Haplopelma lividum, but unfortunately, I trusted the wrong people to take care of her and she died as a result of hatred towards spiders and other creepy crawlies.

Anyway, there you have it. Oh yes, I also cosplay, draw, paint, crochet, and make all sorts of strange things. I'm thinking of starting a shop soon, but we'll see how it goes.

Hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey everyone - I'm Krystie, married for one month, and my home contains what amounts to a creepy-crawlers zoo (see signature). I love my critters. I've always loved snakes and lizards, but my husband introduced me to Ts a few months ago when he got a Costa Rican Zebra, then we added 2 baby Roses, then an adult male Rose, then a young Brazilian White Knee, then an OBT...

We just got a shipment of 5 s'lings: A. versicolor, P. rufilata, P. regalis, N. chromatus, G. aureostriata, and then my husband promptly put the SLINGS into Kritter Keepers and the itsy bitsy N. chromatus decided to leave captivity...

And we just ordered 17 more slings from www.TarantulaRanch.com - Thank's Maren! So we're going nuts with it all... lol!

Cheers!

Small Intro...

Just a small intro just so the site will leave me alone. I'm tired of it saying "our records show you have not yet posted, why not make yourself an active member and post today, yada yada" everytime I log on

Anyway, I've been a lurker for some time now. I'm a beginner to the wonderful world of T's. I currently own a G. rosea (not yet an adult), I have no idea of the sex though (I'm waiting until it molts). If its a male, he shall be called "Mr. Fuzzness", if female "Pandora". I've had him/her for about a month (and already I'm in love with him/her).

Funny thing happened: As I was scooping some spider-poo from his/her encloser, it charged at the spoon I was using. He/She headbutted the spoon twice then turned around and sat in a corner. I actually thought that was cute (after getting all sad that I was pissing him/her off). After that I browsed forums and found out that other T's (if not, the same) are known for odd/silly behavior.

I would actually like to own another T. Like a smithi or green bottle blue (or is it blue bottle green?). Or maybe even an Emperor Scorp. Thats pretty much it...

Hi All

Hi everybody. My name is Craig (Obviously). I'm from Scotland. I got my first Tarantula just over a week ago. She's a Chilean Rose or Grammostola rosea to the die-hards. She's brilliant though my next buy may be a more active species. I've got my sights set on the King Baboon but I think handling would be a definate no-no with one of those! Haha. Anyway, glad to be part of the Arachnid community. Later!

Hello everyone. My name is Tim, I'm 26, and I obviously have an addition to the "Creepy Crawlies"! Though new to the "online" scene, I have been around T's for quite some time. I have just installed a rather large T-Room in one of my outbuildings, hence the AB handle! Glad to be here, I've browsed these boards for awhile, and learned a great deal. Thanks!!!

 

[josh_cloud]

here i am

hi there, new to the boards. decided i'd read EVERYTHING before i posted anything. i'm a long time t owner, bringing my sons(2) into the hobby with me. actually, my oldest son logan decided to get addicted to the hobby and i joined mainly to keep an eye on him. guess what i found? TONS of info and what seems to be a nice group of people. my other hobbies are rock guitar. poetry, bonsai and guns. oh, i'm 35 and got my 1st spider when i was 5. he was a male A. Hentzi given to me by my aunt. unlike some people, i handle my spiders. my sons and i catch and study wild spiders, and i'm just getting into the photography thing. anything else you want to know, just pm me.

Introduction

Hi! before I introduce myself I want you guys to know how I got into this hobby. When I was a liltle boy, I had curiousity about spiders and scorpion. I always hunt spiders and cool bugs as a pet. Unfortunately they always die because I don't know what they eat. My parents told me to get a more normal pet than spiders and bugs. I had my first Dog when I was 8 yrs old his name was Tiger (hybrid doberman and german sheperd). After a few years my dog was been dognap and assasinated by some hungry people.. After a while I miss having a pet so last year I decided to go back from the hobby so I went to a pet store a got myself a Rose hair.
Since then I start collecting T's that interest me. My name is Wilhelm A.k.a Punk Rocker Boi, 19 yrs old student from CA.

Hello From Central Ohio

Hi Everyone from Circleville.. home of the infamous Pumpkin Show! I have kept inverts for a very long time and really enjoy the tranquility of tarantula keeping. I have looked at this site on and off for ages and finally decided to take the plunge and join up. I have an overflowing handful of T's that are scattered around my house in display cases. I havent quite gotten to the closet of slings yet!! Other than T's, its dogs, horses, goats, chickens and turkeys. I live and work on the farm and the animals are how I make my living.
I look forward to getting to know some of you better. Hopefully will be able to meet some people in my area with a similar "creepy" interest.
