Howdy Everyone, my name is Thomas. I'm from southwestern Missouri, USA. I don't currently have any arachnids, though I have kept other invertebrates and reptiles for several years, and I've had plenty of interactions with wild arachnids (including the Aphonopelma hentzi I found in Greene County, Missouri that is in my avatar picture). I'm interested in getting more into keeping arachnids, especially Amblypygi and Heteropoda species.
On a professional level, I've been working with dogs and cats (and the occasional exotic mammal or bird) in the animal rescue industry for the past 6 years, as well as having spent two terms as a fish hatchery technician with the US Fish & Wildlife Service, and citizen scientist and docent for the Association of Zoos and Aquariums and Dickerson Park Zoo. As a docent, I've been able to interact with a few different tarantula species as part of educational outreach programs.
So that's a bit about me. Thanks, All.
