Introduce Yourself

[Big_nito]

Hello there. My name is Mike. Im an ordinary collector of Ts with extraordinary love for them. Hehehe.. Currently i have quite a few in my collections (mostly are slings - as i love to rear them until they become mature) and im still planning on expanding it. Im mostly focused on NW terrestial ones. Hopefully this year, im planning on starting to breed some of my adults. Wish me luck!!! lol!!!

Hi invertephiles!

My name is Stephanie and I'm from Seattle. I have two tarantulas, a dog, three cats, a husband and a baby. I've been keeping tarantulas for nine years and I love everything about all arachnids and insects.

Right now I have a P. lugardi named Tantrum and a G. rosea named Torment. All of my tarantulas have been named with a descriptive T-word since my first, Tango.

I spend a lot of my free time educating people about spiders and why they shouldn't waste their time hating them. I don't know why I love spiders so much; maybe it's because they're misunderstood. I have my favorite species, H. lividum, tattooed on my left shoulder blade. I manage a busy animal boarding center near my house and I love my life!

Nice to meet everyone and I look forward to an overload of information while I'm here.

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Tantrum and Torment. I love it. So great to see people come up with such clever name's.

Hey everyone, my name is Jason. I am a web designer who lives here in Victoria, BC.

I just recently bought 2 T's a couple months back. I am totally new to the hobby (which btw, I didn't know was considered a hobby), but have learned a lot. I've been lurking this forum for info over the past month and it's helped me not panic in situations... which is much appreciated!

Quick Note: My dad has had a female G. rosea for about 7-8 years now, and while during a family fallout, I began to care for this T. I am also an arachnophobe, but while taking care of her, I grew attached. One day my dad came back and took the G. rosea away. So I ended up buying not 1, but 2 T's for myself. Next thing you know, once he finds out I have T's, he brings the G. rosea back and tells me I can take care of it.
I find it to be a funny story of how I got into T's... maybe it's just me rambling, I do that sometimes.

Anyways, here are my ladies:

Psalmopoeus Irminia - "Morticia" (female, 3 years old, not measured)

Psalmopoeus Cambridgei - "Athena" (unsexed, 1 year old, not measured)

Thanks for looking! I've created webpages for both of them, you all can click the links if you'd like.

Cheers!

New to Boards

Hi all. I acquired my first Ts back in December: 4 G pulchra, and have already purchase three more(on their way Monday).
I guess I've been bit by the "spider". And after my HotWheels fiasco I said I would not get into any more collection hobbies.

Hey! I'm a guy from Finland with a couple years of experience about tarantulas. Currently having only one animal, tho, L. klugi... He's an adult male.

I'm looking for a species difficult to find in my own country, that's why I'm here Used this site before just as a viewer (thanks for those care sheets!).

My intro.

Hi all,
My name is Ralf,am 25 years of age.
I live in The Netherlands,
atm i keep only venomous snakes,wich is my main passion.
I keep anything from rattlers till cobras and vice versa
What am i doing here?
Well,my interest for spiders has been growing over the pas time.

Spiders aswell as my snakes are both venomous,
and im well aware that i cant compare their husbandry,
in any way besides their venom.
My main interest is Latrodectus and Poecilotheria.
but i like the other T's aswell.
Well,if anyone has any question regarding me or my animals

Kindest regards,
Ralf

my only pets right now are one cat and one rat, though i'm planning on expanding my brood. i'm hoping to get a beautiful versicolor baby sometime soon. first, however, i need to learn more since i haven't had a tarantula since i was very very young.

 

[Achu93]

Hi my name is Jesus. I stay in Compton California. Im somewhat new to the hobby. I got my first Tarantula 2 years ago but Ive only been in the hobby for about 1 year now. I expanded my collection quite a bit in that period time and I learned alot. I catch on quickly so if I ask for help don't expect to repeat yourself. Oh and im currrently looking to buy my first pokie.

 

[clowns94]

[Rockstarpets]

My name is Roger Prows and I am a pet store owner in Tooele Utah.

I have been keeping and learning as much as possible about Ts in my store for almost 2 years and I'm just getting back into keeping them myself (getting a new G. pulchra soon). Just keeping for now, may breed some day, who knows?

I am looking to learn as much as possible and to network with others in my area. I consider myself a knowledgeable amateur in the world of inverts so i hope to learn more, and hope to contribute to anyones questions about their other animals with my years of experience.

 

[Chranchluh]

Hey everyone! My name's Joe, I'm 15 from England.
I have been vaguely interested in Tarantula's for a while, but for the last few days I have become very interested in them. The different species, how to care for them etc.

I don't actually own any Tarantula's, but I wish I did! My favourite species are T. Metallica, T. Blondi, H. Lividum, A. Geniculata and of course, B. Smithi.

I've been watching a load of videos on Youtube of them, some from people on this fourm. I read the name RobC on here, not sure if it's the same one of Youtube though.

Thanks!

Hello everyone.
My name is Elizabeth, my husband and I live in the Central Valley in California.
We bought our first pink toe T in january, now we also have a rose haired T.
Just wanted to introduce myself

 

[Spiderkeeper61]

Hello all

Hi, glad to be here. Have lots of critters so check my profile to see them all.
I have the following T's.

G. pulchripes, G. rosea, H. lividum, A. avicularia, A. versicolor, A. jurenicola x 2, B. vagans, P. murinus, H. maculata, P. iminia.

For my next T's I'm going to try to collect one of all the Avicularia's. First will be A. huriana I hope.

Here is a pic of my little H. lividum after it finally showed itself after a month. She is small but has a big attitude. She has tried to bite me when I moved her the other day.
