Dia dhuit!

Hey all, name's Aaron. 23 years of age, live in Dublin, Ireland (not great weather for T's ). Long time avid lurker on arachnoboards and got my very first sling in July this year. This site has helped me out so much, but considering I've been indirectly studying spiders since i was a kid I figured I'd sign up to see if I can impart my modest wisdom to someone else now that I have my own growing T! Love guitar, xbox and a nice pint of Guinness! ;P (Totally stereotyping...)

 

[ImDeadly]

I inhererited a 14 yr old chilean rose from my father who passed away in September. I'm in love already. Totally awesome and I am now inspired to get more.

Hello

My name is David, and I live in Pensacola, Florida. I have yet to get my first T, but looking forward to it. I'm still doing research. I have 3 dogs, and have kept a bearded dragon years ago. My daughter and I love tarantulas, and we're very excited and anxious to care for one! My wife isn't too crazy about the idea, but she's tolerant. I'm looking forward to learning all I can and making use of the wealth of knowledge on this forum and site!

Hello

Hello everyone. I'm sure this has been heard a million times before, but I'm not only new to the forums, I'm new to T's. My wife and I (who's also a member here,) started our T collection about two months ago, and we are hooked! We started with a pair Cobalt Blues, which from what I read were not for beginners. However, they are very smalls slings, and have been behaving very well so far. Anyways, my wife (MorriSnakes) told me about this forum, and it looks like a great community to swap stories/pics/advice/etc. Thanks for the chance to introduce myself, and I look forward to posting!

 

[a3overlord]

New

[Sage]

Well hello there everybody!

My name is Ashley but most call me Sage. I'm 22 years old, livin in PA, and aiming to have my bachelor's degree in Illustration before the next 4 years are up. (Hooray for going back to college. Uh...) I'm engaged to the love of my life, but he's afraid of spiders. Oh the irony.

I've always wanted to have a tarantula of my own but mom's afraid of em. Because of all that I just got my first T around 4 months ago. Now I want another! I'm new to the hobby but I've always adored Ts, so I'm super excited to get the ball rollin.

My T is a rosie. I'm pretty sure he's a little on the small side. I have no idea how old he is but he hasn't molted once in the 4 months I've had him. Any idea how old he might be?

Anyways see ya around everybody.

[Silverrose]

Hi everyone! I'm Therese and new to the world of T's. I've been lurking around the forums for a while now, and have finally decided it's time to start my own collection. I'm probably going to end up getting a B. smithi and/or a GBB, but am still looking around for some interesting beginner tarantulas. I am also going to the Herp World Expo in Pasadena,CA this November, so maybe I'll see some of you folks there? =) Anywhos, any advice/suggestions/info for a newbie like me is always appreciated. I want to be the best tarantula parent I can possibly be! See yall around!

 

[minaa]

Hello, my name is Mina. I am 23 and a student at SJSU, living in San Jose, CA. I've recently started regaining interest in terrarium pets (now have a little money to start), and I would like to get a tarantula or two once I have the guts to do it! I have been somewhat phobic of spiders most of my life, and I've been trying to change that. Tarantulas are fascinating, otherwise!

 

[Captain]

Hey guys, I'm looking to get a tarantula when I'm over at Malaysia early next year, hope to read up more about keeping these guys out here.

At the moment I have a Common House Jumping Spider which I keep in a small tank with moss, lots of dead leaves and the like. Put in a moth every couple of days (though unfortunately I never get to watch the kill ) and he/she is doing pretty well, was about 10mm when I first caught him/her and is slightly bigger than that at the moment. A question I have (sorry, didn't want to create a thread just for this simple question), do jumping spiders eat millipedes? There are tons of small ones, less than a centimetre long, in my backyard that would make it easier for me to catch and feed, rather than camping around the light at night trying to catch moths.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks guys!

 

[wodesorel]

Hi everyone! My name is Rachel and I'm 27. I got started on inverts with my hermit crabs, but lately I've been falling in love with all sorts of "bugs". Been using the forums here as a reference for months now, and thought it was high time I finally join. (I'm actually very arachnophobic, so it's taken a while before I could build up the nerve.) We're planning on expanding my invert room from a little 5x8 room into the full-sized spare bedroom in the next year, so I'm glad there's a great forum where I can learn about proper care for any new additions that may come my way! (And yes, a trap-door spider may be on that list if I can get over my creepy-crawly fear.)

 

[Norberta]

Hi! New to T's

Hello, my name is Sandi [Norbert is the name of my leo, I don't know why I used him as my username, I'm odd].
I got my first tarantula today at an expo. I wanted to handle it, so I got the tarantula everyone always recommends for that: Grammostola pulchripes
I've handled t's before - my housemate has two of them and we go to expos more often than we should, but I kind of wanted one of my own.

I'm not new to exotic pets, or inverts, but this is my first spider. I'm super excited.
It's a very small spiderling - because I'm in college man, like I have money for an older one.
I'm quite excited to raise it - and I might get a prettier one in the future, but for now I just have one tarantula.

Other than Spinarak, my pets include:
Amy, my hedgehog
Norbert, my male leopard gecko
Joyce, my female leo
Magikarp, my betta fish
And I have a small colony of blaptica dubia roaches to feed most of the aforementioned pets.

Thanks.

 

[Steell83]

Hey everyone, I'm Stee, 28 from Scotland.

Been a collector of Tarantulas for nearing 2 years now, was only meant to have just the one to help get over my fear. But now have ended up with 5 of them. Will end up posting the pictures of my T's when i find the right place to, hehe. Also have a couple of videos, but i don't think i can use them here considering i swear like a trooper. :laugh:

I've joined up to learn more about Tarantulas, spent countless hours yesterday looking through the threads and pictures, clearly shows how obsessed i am already with them. I am hoping to get the T's i already have paired up to mate them and continue to grow my collection later on.

Laters.
