Introduce Yourself

what's good?

What's up arachnoboards I'm brand new to the hobby but am quickly finding out how fascinating it can be. I have a chilean rose hair tarantula named 8ball and would like to expand my collection. I was thinking a mexican redknee, honduran curly hair, or a green bottle blue for the next one. However, I'm not quite sure where to get one. Any recommendations for online sites or breeders in the New York City/Long Island area?

Yo!

names alex, i live in az. I've had T's for 5 years now and i just wanna share my first successful mate for G. Rosea. I inherited 2 T's last week and assuming they were both female I didnt pay much attention until I came home from work yesterday and realized my RH was spinning a sperm web! I ran to my local shop and immediately got a female, and just tonight i attempted mating and it went really well! Will post update as to how successful it was. ^_^

[Nektu]

Hi everyone. Name is Nektu. My wife and I have a dozen beautiful T's. I used to be terrified of them but have gotten over my fear with the help of my wife. Yesterday I picked up my very own T. A P Irminia female. Looking forward to learning a lot from these forums.

 

[MossPiglet]

I'm Amelia. I love bugs and am interested in learning more. I really want some beetles of some kind (haven't quite figured that out yet). I have a tarantula and a scorpion (for inverts) as well as feeder roaches and worms. I love the cycle of life and would love to do some beetle breeding. I live in Eastern Washington and am not sure what I have locally but I think I'm more into things that are CBB and not taking from the wild. I like to trade and make a variety of craft items... I love music, art, hooping (hula), and creepy crawlies.

happy to be back to my fav hobby

my name is Ralph, 7 years ago i gave my decent size collection to a few friends (it was very painful) due to the fact that we were expecting our first child and now it's time to teach my son about scorps and T's..i had approx 40 different T's and scorps in my collection at that time. my fav being avics. so it only felt right to start my son off with a A.avicularia.we named her "BOOTS".she just molted today which set me off to join this fantastic community..thanks for being here, hope to chat with some of you guys in the future..my goal is to have a few more different avics by years end and possibly one or two GBB's..i'd like to stay away from baboon's but, gosh they're fantastic critters (gotta luv the sunburst! :evil: )..

Hello!!!

Hiya, I am Ferfer. I have always loved arachnids, but never had the opportunity to wn any. My husband recently bought me some tarantulas for a present . I hope I do good with them, and am here to learn all I can. I can say that I am already addicted and cannot wait to get more, but first have to prove I can care for what I got. Can't wait to make some friends and see many new arachnids.

Hello all! My name is Noah and I'm from Northern VA. I'm not very experienced with Ts, but had a couple G. rosea over the years and currently raising two little B. vagan slings. I've always been into exotic pets but have mainly owned reptiles. Have always had an interest in Ts and have decided to take the plunge and raise a few myself! Hopefully I can learn a thing or two and hopefully one day contribute myself.

New to forums but not to the trade!

Hi fellow arachno-lovers!
My name is Daniel Salazar, I'm 17, I live in Sacramento, California, and have been obsessed with tarantulas since I was four years old and saw my grandpa's (RCF) G. Rosea. He gave it to me as a gift since my grandma wasn't fond of it.
That pretty girly died just this year and since about 6th grade I've been trying, failing, and succeeding and basically taught myself to be a good Invert keeper on my own as a kid, my trial and error approach left a p. murinus, H. lividium, and an A. Avic dead...Being a child and an animal lover these losses made my extremely upset So I began researching, now I keep a new batch of T's that I honestly love. They might just be bugs to most people but to me their pets and family.
I can't wait to become friends with you all as we discuss, trade or even buy and sell T's, scorps, and spiders from one another.

 

[BrachysWorld]

Hello all, name is Ayanna. Living in central Florida, Ponte Vedra area. Not new to Tarantulas, but never handled them. Let the hubby deal with most of their needs. I'm the researcher and love to watch them in action. Had a fear at first, but eventually found it to be silly, out of ignorance, and now I really enjoy them.

 

[mainemooseman]

My name I Jeremy I'm 22 and Im from the northeast. I came to archnoboards in search of scorpion info and have gotten plenty of information and some. I'm intrigued with the thought of owning a T.I'm sure with a little more digging around the boards I'll find all I need to know. I have owned plenty of reptiles including boas,pythons,lizards and my favorite was a cottonmouth. I now own a ATB, A.Australis and a pacman frog along with my three cats wich are more like kids not cats lol. I'm a firefighter and work EMS. I'm also a single dad raising my son on my own. I hope when he gets older he can appreciate all of natures creatures like I do. I hope to get more info and interact with the people on the forums.

Matt (aka MB623)

Hi, my name is Matt, I'm 21 and live in Arizona and just joined AB a couple days ago and love this site. I've been collecting T's for about a year now , and have been collecting scorps for about 4 years. I currently own a 4.5" A. chalcodes, a 4" female G. rosea, and a 1" L. parahybana. I'm a bigger fan of terrestrials than arboreals, and would have to say L. parahybana is my favorite T out of any. I also own 2 C. sculpturatus and 2 P. imperators. I can't ever afford to spend a lot on scorps and slings, just $10 or so , but I'm a big fan of the cheap readily available species anyway. I'm always looking for new t's or scorps, preferably slings or sub adults, especially ones available for local pick up around Phoenix AZ, if you do just PM me what you have. That's about it for me, thank you for reading.

 

[Arachnoholic]

Hello fellow T lovers

I'm Aaron and i'm relatively new to T's but im learning fast, and owning 6 T's now is helping with that. I love all my eight legged babies and look forward to continuing to watch them grow and having the opportunity to connect with other T fanatics like myself! :clap:

Hey there, I'm Jay from Madison, WI and I'm also fairly new to T's, still in the process of researching which one I want to get as my frist pet, any suggestions would be helpful. I've been doing a lot of reading and chatting up the local pet store people but I could always learn more.

[EminenceTuts]

Greetings,
I just got an asian forest scorpion about 5 months ago and didn't really get interactive until now. I read up on the arachnoboards for caring for my H. Longimanus. But Never joined until now. I hope I can spread my knowledge and learn from the experiences from other people on here.

I am 17 years old in USA. I enjoy caring for my pets, making youtube videos for gaming, photoshop tutorials and misc. things. I like many types of music and the genres I haven't really listened too I am opened minded for them.

My tank setups are pretty bare right now, I am switching my tanks around with new ones. So I had to get rid of things but I will soon rebuild them back up.

Thanks,
Eminence

Hello
I'm new to the forum. I live in Oceanside, CA. I love going out with my friends and looking for all inverts/reptiles. I'm new too all inverts but so if you could give me a little bit of info it would be wonderful

 

[gwemina]

HI my name is connie, i live in canada and im 25. i've never been on a forum before but i just have so many questions about tarantulas that websites only go so far into detail. i think joining this i would not only be able to be more educated in owning T's and becoming a better owner but also talking to others that have a simular passion as i do.
