Agreed I have only been here 3/4 years but I couldn't be without it, its a valuable tool for spoody info and always my first port of call when I get a new floofer. People are nice too, which also helps lol.

Hi I’m currently in North Wales but moving down to Mid Wales soon

tbh I see alot of reddit posts saying that the advice here is very reliable

I would avoid reddit if I were you, lots of bad husbundary and poor care, keeping terestrial Ts in aboreal setups, handling P metallica and etc. Use Arachnoboards as the source of your information lots of expereienced breeders here ans you can learn a lot. There are new scientific articles which people post links to on here too when they get made and released which is helpful.

I’d recommend the beginners guide, it’s full of very useful info to learn:

Tarantula Information for Beginners (and More)

Below are some helpful resources. (Rather than having half a dozen or more pinned threads, which clutter the top of the board, we are pinning this index.) While the focus is on beginners, there are other threads on health and more advanced species that may be useful to more experienced keepers...

arachnoboards.com

If you have any questions, search the forum as many questions have already been asked before and if you can’t find any suitable info ask

Honestly, The search function on this forum is worth its weight in gold. Any issue ive come across, someone has posted about it. I am only on my 3rd year of keeping, but, having this wealth of information at a search away, is absolutely priceless! There is some seriously experienced people on here!

Always! as I said its always where I come the people and info on here have helped me with everything from t's that came with mites to t's that were injured in transit to making the environment better for my spoods. They aren't rude either which I have found in other places.

It's definitely very handy, especially as a new keeper I'm probably going to need some reassurance as I'm trying not to constantly worry I've done something wrong

Don't worry we all do that in the beginning, some all the way through but you'll soon learn to trust your spood they know what they are doing been doing t stuff longer then we have been ppling but any questions and we are always here to help

Welcome to AB. Best place on the web for any invertebrate info not just Tarantulas. I'm from Larkhall, Scotland so UK here too. That was my 1st Tarantula too turned out male though so gave him away when he matured.
