Introduce Yourself

[b smithi]

Hey, My name is Danny, from Blacksburg Virginia, in the US. I have been in love with animals ever since my early childhood, but tarantulas are new to me. Since about two years ago, I have wanted a Female Brachypelma smithi, but i couldnt find one for sale ANYWHERE. Last week, i bought my first tarantula, a sub adult female Grammostola pulchripes, and received a free B. Albopilosum sling. After i got these two, i knew i needed more. On Sunday night a one in the morning, i found a juvenile female b. smithi, and i had to have her. I bought her from Big_nito for $115 shipped, and got her Tuesday. She is 2.75 inches, and the sweetest little thing i have ever seen. I plan on expanding my collection soon, and eventually getting the fantastic Poecilotheria metallica. :drool: after more Tarantula experience. If you want to talk T's, (or even snakes, which are my profession) then PM me anytime.

I look forward to meeting you all,
Danny

Hi from New Zealand!

Hi everyone.

Our property backs on to lush native bush which seems to have a huge population of tunnel-webs (closest spider we have to tarantulas here). Was terrified (but fascinated) by spiders as a youngan but now love them and am loving owning 'Dolores' - who's enclosure has pride place next to my bed . Any and all advice about owning tunnel-webs (Porrhothele antipodiana or similar) would be hugely appreciated - Thanks!

Hello everyone name's Anna
I got into tarantulas actually recently (couple of weeks ago) after looking at a facebook group "I Love Spiders" and seeing a picture of a Haplopelma lividum. I couldn't believe tarantulas can come in blue and then the researching began...

I live in Canada and own two clown fish Nemo and Marlin. Hopefully when I move out on my own I'll be able to get some t's of my own.

Hello, My name is Jen. I am 16 years old and I live in Connecticut.
It's a pleasure to meet all of you.

 

[herpist]

Hi all, I'm quite new to this side of the hobby. I've had many reptiles over the years but never invertebrates so i purchased 2 emperor scorpions last November, I didn't realise how fascinating they were.
They r now on they're 3rd shed and I house them in a 45x45x45cm exo terra terrarium, a 5.0 reptiglo bulb, 3" of plantation soil with a corner filled with sphagnum moss, 2 corkbark hides at the warm end and 2 at the cooler end, a water dish which is sunk into the soil with a couple of mils of water. Temp is 24 degrees at the warm end and humidity fluctuates between 77% and 90%.
Please tell me if any of this could be changed/improved as I'm always open to criticism or advise. Thanks

 

[astraldisaster]

Well, I suppose I should post some sort of formal introduction here! I'm Garance (pronounced Guh-RAHNSE), currently residing in Oregon (originally from NYC), soon to be graphic design student. I'm new-ish to the hobby -- got my first Ts in 2006, a G. rosea and B. albiceps, but ended up giving them away to friends in my recent move. A few months ago, I decided to get back into the hobby and start a "real" T collection.

Happy new T-owner

Hi everyone! I just became the proud owner of a beautiful 8 yr old female Chaco Golden Knee. I've always been fascinated by spiders/tarantulas and my husband took me to pick one out for my 31st bday last week. Best gift ever! I feel like everyone I show her to, appreciates this species and realize how harmless she really is.

I hope to share my newbie experiences on this site and learn from others as well!

Hi. I am new to this site. I live in South Africa and have been keeping Tarantulas since July last year and have eight Tarantulas and 1 Emperor Scorpion. This site is much better than the ones we have here in SA and the people here aren't as rude. I hope that my stay on this site will be pleasant.

 

[Justin Sane]

Hello, my name's Justin. Just got into T's about 2 weeks ago. Bought a Rosie for my first one, it's fun, but wanted something different, so i bought me a little ornamental sling, they said it was a Peterson Ornamental, but nothing comes up on google for it... I'm going to start a thread about it.

 

[grayzone]

quick thought justin sane, but could your sling possibly be a poecilotheria PEDERSENI?

[LondonLegs]

Hey there folks! Decided that it just not smart to keep to myself with my freak of a g. rosea, so here I am on the forums! I'm from New Orleans!

Edit: Will3, that's a gorgeous photo...

Hobo Ninja, your N. Chromatus is absolutely precious.
