Introduce Yourself

[payton]

hello

Hello everyone,

I'm new here. I'm a professional classical musician, you can check out my work at my website: www.paytonmacdonald.com. I actually write some music that is influenced by spiders. I'm working on an essay to discuss this in more detail.

I have an incredible wife and two funny cats. My wife is pregnant with our first child, in fact today is the due date!!

The picture below is sort of big, sorry about that, I'm not sure how to make it smaller.

Best,
Payton

Hi all, I joined so I could find a good source of millipedes. A friend got me interested in them, and I want to learn about them and hopefully get a few soon. I am really liking the african giant black millipede.

I like spending time with my bf of 7.5 years. He has 0.1.0 dog and 2.0.0 leopard geckos; I have 2.2.0 cats, 6.0.0 cockatiels, 0.1.0 starling, 0.1.0 bearded dragon, 1.1.0 ADF's, 0.0.1 land snail, and 16.22.77+ betta splendens aka Siamese Fighting fish. I work as a pet sitter, though I used to work at a vet's office as a vet tech.

I hope I learn a lot here! I've heard good things abou this place. :clap:

Introduction?

Hello,

I'm a 25 year old student from Croatia who doesn't like to introduce herself and have like a gazillion questions - this seems like a nice place to be. My homepage is here, too bad that it's mostly on Croatian, cryptic for most of users here. I'm a proud owner of a little Nhandu chromatus and a couple of Euscorpius, I've also kept many insects of my zoogeographical region in most of their development stages. Enough?

Bye

Hiho everyone! My name is Erik, and I am from Norway (Oslo to be more specific) and I just decided to get an Lasiodorides Striatus.

I'm 21 years old, currently working and having a year off of my studies. I am also thinking about becoming a veterinarian (amongst other things).

I've just acquired a 62litres terrarium (big, eh?) that is about 60cm x 30cm (24" x 12"). I'm probably getting him or her on saturday.

Apart from that there is not much else to me. I've had 6 rats the last couple of years, before that I've had a cat, several dogs, 5 turtles, some rabbits, and I am not sure if that is all.

Nice to be here, and I hope to learn lots about tarantulas.

Introduction

Hello all:

Fascinating forum you have here. There is truly a wealth of information available.

I don't know if this intro should be placed in classifieds or not, but my interest here is obtaining specimens to be used in educational lectures and research. I write toxicology materials for paramedical texts, as well as conduct medical survival lectures for medical missionaries traveling to remote areas. I have tried for years to obtain specimens from various companies that provide such, but the costs are exhorbitant, regardless of the not-for-profit nature of my business. Sadly, the few oportunities I have had to collect such species as widows and recluses have always occurred when I was away from home, and the subject was found by my wife. There has usually not been much left for me to identify, much less preserve.

If anyone has dead specimens they are willing to contribute, I would be most greatful. My interests is predominately venomous, poisonous, or look-alike creatures.

My business and credentials can be checked at www.semsar.org

Simon

Well, my name is Simon, I'm 16 and I live in sweden. To make my timeline short:
I grew up in the capital of Sweden, stockholm where i lived until i was 6. Then i moved to norway, little town called Tromsö. I lived there untill i was 11, when i moved to San Diego, Ca USA, Where i lived for 1 year, then i moved back to sweden, but to a town called Uddevalla. One year later i moved back to Tromsö, and now i live in stockholm again. I think ill live here for about 6 years, and then repeat :wall: . Well, I got my first spider in Uddevalla, a A.Geniculata sling. I had it for about 1 month, then it died mysteriously. Well I cried a river, and then got another one. Well that one escaped, so I cried another river(note that i was only 12 at this time), and got yet another one. This one i have still today, My geniculata is an old man now, his name is Joshua. About one month ago I bought 2 P.Cambridgei slings, wich are really cute. I just love having slings, its like having a baby in the house, you look at them all the time, talk to them and think about them all them a lot.
I have a H.Lividum juvenile on the way, going to be sent today if im lucky
Well, besides spiders, i go to school in stockholm, Södra Latin where i study the science of nature. I also train ju-justu and play both the guitar and bas.
If I was to deside, i would have my whole room full of spiders and crawlers, byt as long as i live with my mom, that is a big nono from her. :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: :wall: I know the perfect pet for her thought, a flower mantis
