Introduce Yourself

[MANSON]

Hey all!

Names Sean. I'm an amateur to the hobby. Not so much new to the hobby. Haven't been on the boards for almost 6 years. My first T was a G. rosea. Still have her, must be a female. I went through a few slings when I first got into the hobby which died. Assuming it was from the temp/humidity. A C. cyaneopubescens I bought from a pet store that died soon after. Won't make the same mistake again.

Just recently I bought some more T's. 2 Inch A. avicularia, 1 inch P. regalis(Bought from Ken the bug guy)

I also bought a 1.5 inch P. murinus from tarantulacages.com(Adam)

A. avicularia

P. murinus

P. regalis

Hello!

Hi everyone,

I'm a researcher studying animal behavior. My students and I have studied reproductive behavior in a number of invertebrates, including fishing spiders, giant water bugs, terrestrial isopods and whirligig beetles.

I have recently begun blogging about animal behavior. Feel free to stop by anytime!

Hello all

My name is Jeremy and I'm 19 years old and from Ohio. I have always been interested in insects and just recently bought my first tarantula. Her name is MaryJane and she's a Grammastola Rosea. She is fascinating to me and I am looking forward to getting another tarantula in the near future.

Hiya!

Hey, I'm April a 34 year old herp / T enthusiast living in the western mountains of North Carolina. I am a big girl, have flaming Crayola red hair, and tend to be pretty boisterous. I am married to great guy named Billy (10 years this Halloween!) He is very supportive of my affinity for, um...unusual pets. And what more could you ask for in a man?

I was diagnosed with cancer days before my 30th birthday and have been fighting it ever since. Guess what?! I'M WINNING!!! Totally kicking cancer's booty all over the place. Thanks Avastin!

My love of slinking crawly creatures began as soon as I could walk around and turn over a rock. Saw many a Black Widow, foot-long preying mantis and a few velvet ants in my own backyard in S.C. when I was a kid. Not to mention the grass snakes, anoles and (eek!) cottonmouths.

I have owned two gramastola roseaan, an eryx johni, a gorgeous morelia viridis (I am still mourning her, bad pet shop sold her to me eaten alive with parasites...such a beautiful loss), and a previous leucistic elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri (who escaped...lesson learned) in the past.

I currently have a leucistic elaphe obsoleta lindheimeri (Kermit), two miniature pinschers (Lady and Babe), an American bulldog (Kohlie) and a silver tabby/Egyptian mau mix (Tobbie).

I am about to expand my family with an avic avic and an avic urtican...tomorrow! I am way too excited!!! I have been seeing some beautiful avi versacolor pics that make me wonder if I have enough shelf space for another aquarium. Hmmm... :drool:

I must warn you I am pretty new to all this so if I am responsible for some boneheaded blunder and make a fool of myself, please be kind! I am working hard to be the best arachnid mom I can be! Thank you.

Hi everyone! I'm an entomologist looking to get my first tarantula. I've kept black widows in the past, but t's will be new.

Hope no one minds all my basic care questions!

 

[CFleming]

Hello everyone! Been lurking for a little while. Been a reptile guy forever. Just starting to get into T's. I have always been afraid of spiders. Well a member of a snake forum I am a member of, posted up some pics of his Ts. I started asking questions, and well here I am! I am waiting on the arrival of my very first T. an Avicularia versicolor. I am so excited. I never thought that I would be excited about bringing a spider into my house!

Congratulations! I'm from NC too. I love Rosies as they were my first too. Welcome to the family!

 

[xLoydx]

I'm totally new to the T thing as well as to these forums. Names Loyd, I have read through a few posts in here. It's a pleasure to be here and meet all of you!

 

[Elmaxhappy]

Hi everyone! I'm new in this fantastic forum. I live in Spain and I really love tarantulas. In this moment I have some poecilotheria regalis and poecilotheria ornata spiderlings, one Brachypelma emilia (it's an adult female) and one Lasiodora parahybana. In past I had some scorpion specimens of hadrurus arizonensis, leiurus quinquestriatus and androctonus bicolor. Now I'm restarting the hobby.

See you!

 

[ManlyMan7]

Hi all. I joined this forum recently after learning that a friend was giving me his 3 Ts, which I received 5 days ago. I am a pastor living in Saskatchewan and love tarantulas, but have been out of the hobby for 10 years. Before, I owned a 7" B. smithi, G. rosea, A. avicularia, and a B. emilia sling, but I gave them away. I am so thrilled to get back into the hobby, this time with my two young boys.

I should add my current collection:
0.0.1 – Lasiodora parahybana (4")
0.0.1 – Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens (4.5")
0.1.0 – Grammastola rosea (2")

 

[Formerphobe]

Hello. My name is Joyce. I'm a licensed veterinary technician and live in VA with 21 tarantulas, 3 scorpions, 1 guinea pig, 3 dogs, 2 kids... As my user name suggests, I am a former arachnophobe. I started with a single G. rosea a little over a year ago and quickly found that they are like potato chips, you can't have just one!

[murinuskeeper]

Hi

Hi, I currently have 3 Ts, a Ephebopus Murinus skeleton, usumbara orange baboon, and a rosehair. I did have a Poecilotheria Regalis, but my apartment lost heat last winter and I lost her. So I moved to a basement apt that has central heating, in mid june. Brought the 3 Ts and so far they have done well.
My purchasing was first the rosehair(shes adult now), the Regalis, the usumbara(I like the bright orange color with black markings), and recently the murinus, which I have handled(so far not aggressive).
Happy to be here, and looking forward to joining the discussions.
