Yup! Grew up with one then about a year ago I saw some babies at a pet store so I snagged three of em! Nature takes it's course and well, there's one left lol. As they say ~ If ya can't run with the big dogs then stay on the porch lol! He's getting pretty big now ~ He's about 4 inches. He was maybe 1/2 when I got him. I just love em! lol :)

Hey. My name is Chase. I was referred to this site after expressing an interest in expanding my invert collection from Hissing Roaches to Millipedes and Scorpions.

Hi

I have just recently bought two tarantula spiderlings (with a third given to me for buying the other two) and I am very excited to watch them grow. They really are quite amazing.
I have:
Brachypelma Smithi
Brachyplema Auratum
Chromatopelma Cyaneopubescens


If anyone has helpful hints for me.....it would be greatly appreciated!

Hi. I have been been a lurker for a little bit and picked up a Rosie today. I like her so far, I'm just waiting to become one of you with dozens of them. My mom will probably kick me out then.{D

New to everything

Hello, we are a couple from RI just getting into T's been looking at the boards for a while and decided to join. We fell into this hooby by chance. We were primarily into reptiles, and decided to get a green bottle blue and it was all down hill from there.

Hey my name Jonathan I am from the East Bay Cali and I am 22 and I have current have 4 T's I started off with 2 T's that are not usually beginners T's my fist was a baby Avic Versicolor and a 2" H Lividum . I first got a my Avic because my friend wanted a T and did not want to start off the hobby by oneself and to make a long story short I have been hooked ever since! I currently have a 3cm Cyriopagopus Sp , 2" Cyclosternum fasciatum , 3" Avic Versicolor and a half inch OBT .I plan to acquire a Tapinauchenius purpureus , P Metallica and a Green bottle blue over the next couple of months .

If you are wondering what happend to my H Lividum got rid of it although a beautiful T the pet tank dilemma did not sit well with me sooo I traded him in for my Cyriopagopus Sp ;P .

Hi, I'm Ciara, and I've recently come to own a tarantula and know absolutely nothing about them. I probably can't even tell you what kind of tarantula she is. So I'm basically here for learning purposes.

Wow. :?

Hey all, my name's Mark.

I lurked for a while while I was mulling over getting a T, then got a rosie this summer and have loved her ever since, so I figured why not join.

Thank you for the knowledge I picked up while I was lurking and hopefully will pick up in the future - it was a great help to me.

Hi all,

I'm Chandler and I live in Auburn. I've been into T's for a while now, but have only started keeping them in the last three years. I've been a long time herp head (hold the dirty jokes, you know what I mean) and I just find unusual animals to make the greatest pets!

I also like music a lot, but I guess it's the same with all college students. Maybe you will hear me on the radio some day if my band makes it big!!

Hi everyone! I'm from Kentucky, and started with one tarantula (B.Smithi) and a Vieled chameleon, and two Tokay geckos about five years ago. In the past year I liked the tarantulas best of all, so I sold my geckos, and my chameleon to purchase more tarantulas, all together now I have about 25. I am a beginner at this hobby, and thats why I joined the aracnoboards to gain more knowledge about tarantulas. Here are a few of the Ts. I have Cyriopagopus sp., Brachypelma Ruhnaui, Ephebopus Cyanognathus, Holothele Incei, Homoeomma sp., Cyclosternum Fasciatum, Cyriocosmus Elegans, Grammostola Pulchar.

Hi everyone,

I just got my first scorpions, three b. jacksoni to be exactly. They seem to be doing well and I love watching them take on crickets twice their size. I lurked for a bit before posting and I'm sure I'll learn a lot from these boards.

Hello everyone,

My name is Eric. I have a love of tarantulas and decided to talk with people who share my interest. I am on my second tarantula now, both of them Grammostola roseas'. Cared for my first one for 12 years before she finally kicked the bucket.:( Purchased another one because I love tarantulas so much. I hope by coming here I get to learn lots of stuff about these critters.

-Eric
