Introduce Yourself

[Tiffany]

Hi, I'm Tiffany.

I adopted Kaos, a baby G. Rosea, a couple days ago from a butterfly conservation center to help me get over my fear of spiders. A handler let me hold his G. Rosea (Rosie) and she was very gentle, so I adopted one of her babies. I don't know much about spiders, but I hope Kaos inherited his mother's disposition. So far he's very sweet and loves to just rest in my palm and absorb all my body heat.

Hey all,

Names Foggy, 24 yrs old, i had a G.Rosea when i was younger, in hindsight she didnt get the care she should have, i was very un educated and the guy who sold her to me was also un educated as i now know a lot he told me was incorrect!!

A lot older and wiser now, have got back into the game with a Male Red Phase G.Rosea, looking forwards to learning more from you all!

Hello everyone.

The name's Cate. I'm new to this board. I figured it would help me out in my still growing tarantula collection (and possibly scorpion collection).

I'm pretty friendly and open-minded. I love meeting new people and making friends. I'm fairly easy to talk to, so feel free to drop in and say hello. <3

Hello

Hi, I am Nikki. I am not an invert. owner yet, but am looking into it. I find these guys fascinating (who wouldn't?) and was directed here by a friend on a chinchilla forum after chatting about her spiders for a bit. I am looking forward to doing alot of research and hopefully getting a spiderling at a local herp. show I will be attending in April. It'll be great getting to know people here. :biggrin:

[Allison1503]

Hello everyone!

My name is Allison! I am nearly 25 years old. I live in Columbus, Ohio. I am new to Arachnoboards, and I am also new to keeping Tarantulas. Currently, I have two beautiful ladies Abigail a Grammostola Rosea and Lucy a young Avicularia Versicolor. Originally , I got them to help me get over my fear of spiders. It's still very much a work in progress. -But what was once an irrational fear has now turned into a respectful fear, and a love for the hobby. I now find it easy to move spiders from the bathtub.. Or remove them from my home, (I used to run away screaming :-/). Anyway, I am here to make friends and to learn as much as I possibly can about T's. I look forward to chatting with some of you! I am making it a goal of mine to be fairly active on this site. Tarantulas definitely have made a special nest in my heart. I have a feeling I will be a life long keeper of these often misunderstood creatures.

Ello xD

Hey people,

I'm Mark and new to the T hobby!

I'm really enjoying looking after slings and watching them grow and just general Tarantula behaviour.

This forumn has helped me in the months before commiting to a Tarantula so figured it was defo worth a join!

Cheers xD
Mark

[Tgrip77]

Hello everyone

my name is andrew, im from the lake of the ozark area in missouri. im 34, and pretty new to tarantula keeping. june of 2011, i dove in pretty deep. my frist tarantula purchase consisted of 70+ T's. i currently have 300+ (no adults)...so far i really like the hobby. i found it very addictive even before buying a tarantula. at first, i planned to get my two nephews involved with raising, breeding, and selling them, but they showed very little interest. but in the process of learning about them i became very hooked, and decided to try it without them. its not my intentions to get rich from them, but i do like the idea of growing some extra money, i just hope i'll be able to part with them when the time comes.

i intend to learn as much from this forum and all of you as possible, and i would surely like to befriend some of you. i know in the coming summer, im going to have a lot of juvi males to get rid of, and im hoping to find some regulars to trade/sell them too. i take very good care of my T's. and ive gotten all of them from either: ken, paul, kelly, and a small amount from bryan in michigan, all four i will add are very cool guys to buy tarantulas from..couldnt be happier with the transactions.

here's a link to my youtube channel which ive devoted to my spiders, subscribe and leave a comment if you'd like.

and heres a picture of my ugly mug, its a 4 year old pic of me in amsterdam holland, ive since gotten a little fatter and much hairier. thanks for taking the time to meet me, feel free to say hello in a p.m.

[SpiderNurse]

I made a bit of an introduction in my first thread, but I haven't posted here yet, so here goes.
My name is Kelsie, I'm 22 years old and I'm a full-time nursing student in Kansas. I was a member here when I was about 15-16 years old and I had several tarantulas, a couple scorps, a couple millipedes, a centipede, a colony of hissing cockroaches, and a small array of reptiles and amphibians. I started to travel a bit after high school and gave my collection away to science teachers and other collectors. I'm getting settled in again, so I thought now would be a good time to rejoin the hobby.
Right now I only have one T, a juvenile B. auratum. It's a cutie! I'm hoping to get/expecting to get a very cool sling here in about a month or so, so I'm very excited about that. I'm not in a hurry to get as many T's as I can as quickly as possible, and I'm not interested in anything besides T's.
Oh, I also have a yellow lab, her name is Elizabeth (or Liz) She is my only exception.

 

[SimplySyd]

Greetings to all

Hello everyone, I'm Sydney.
After reading some of the posts here, it almost makes me feel like a newb to spiders, since I don't have any at the moment (that's a situational thing). However, that's really not the case, since I play spider savior on a regular basis, and I've had several Spiders over the years. Many of them being saved from areas that were going to be destroyed. Out of all of the spiders and tarantulas in the world I love jumping spiders above all others, and I hope to one day have a nice collection, with particular attention to getting a Wide Jawed Viciria (or ten). Good thing I have career plans.
