Hi! I'm new to Arachnoboards...

Hello all!
I have enjoyed reading up on a variety of tarantula issues. I have several tarantulas, but am gaining more as we speak. I mainly have Brachypelmas, Grammostolas, Aphonopelmas, Citharischious, and Lasiodoras. I also enjoy snakes and have several very friendly green tree pythons and gray banded kingsnakes. As far as other hobbies, I enjoy playing guitar, drums, and piano, and riding bicycles.

Well I'm jessica, I have had a horde of Arizona Blonde tarantulas for a few years, but I moved and couldnt take them with me. Well I ran across a Rose Haired t that is in need of a home and I want to get as much info on them as soon as I can. It is going into molt and the people have no clue how to care for it so yeah.. that is why I'm here, to learn.

Thanks :D

Hello From Connecticut

Wanted to say a quick hello and introduce myself to the many who call this site "home". I look forward to learning more about the hobby and sharing my experiences as well.

Lets see.. some quick info... Im 35, a single mom of a "tween", own a candle (making and selling) business. I have a degree in history ( which my brother calls the "catch-all" degree) with a focus on ancient civilizations. I have travelled the country showing Quarter Horses but am taking some time off due to illness, and of course have a fascination for Tarantulas that my friends find unattractive.

Nice to meet you all !!

Hi everyone! I'm a recovering arachnophobic, soon to be an arachnoholic, i suppose...
I don't currently own any tarantulas, yet... I have two cellar spiders that I keep as pets, and am totally fascinated by them. I took the first one in to help me get over my fear of spiders... then i caught the second one, and am totally amazed at the differences between the two, even of the same species... they are absolutely gorgeous! Anyways, now I'm researching and considering my first tarantula... I'm leaning towards B. smithi right now, because I know where I can get them locally, and they seem like good beginner Ts. I really like the cobalt blue's, but they don't seem as good for beginners, and whats the point of having one that I'd never get to see? Whatever I decide, I want it to be terrestrial, not arboreal, because i don't have a clue on where to start for a habitat... Anyways, that's about it for now, looking forward to learning a lot here!

Greetings,

I have always had a fascination with creepy crawlers since childhood. I remember catching ants and various other small insects and throwing them onto grass spider webs that lived in the hedges.
I have had the same rose hair for 8 years now and also have a Mai Chau centipede, cobalt blue tarantula and wild black widow. I plan on acquiring a king baboon in the near future too.
BTW..if anyone can tell me how to get a golden orb spider that would be helpful. I have not seen them wild in Colorado.

Well I am new to this culture of tarantulas as pets, and I am looking to get one soon. I think this sight will help a lot in making wise decisions!

Hello,


I love learning about arachnids, reptiles, and insects. I have never owned a tarantula, but I am looking to make my first purchase soon. I think this sight has a lot of helpful information and kind people. I am excited to begin discussing tarantulas with you all.

Well, I have several tarantulas, and have been increasing my "herd" at a pretty steady rate. I am mainly into the african baboon species of tarantulas, mainly because I find them to be very attractive and they don't have urticating hair. However, there are mainy new world species I do like, and have. I joined up on Arachnoboards to find more information from more indiduals pertaining to more species! Outside of tarantulas, a have a love for snakes, and have several as pets. As far as other hobbies, I enjoy playing music and riding bikes.
