I went from owning a single rosea as a joke 8 months ago to now owning 26 different t's and for some reason still wanting more, anyone else have this problem.

a seemani(x7), a avic(x2), b albopsilosum(x2), b smithi(x4), e campestratus, g aureostriata(x2), g rosea(x2), h lividum, h gigas, l parahybana(x2), p murinus, t blondi. and a emperor scorpion.
I started 11 months ago and I now have almost 60 t's and 14 scorpions.

A addiction yes, but a good one;)

addiction

Me, 15 Ts ,7 of which are pokies, and a wolf spider mommy with eggsac. I cant resist bringing spiders in from outside while working around the yard. Getting into true spiders now too. Addiction? yes. Entertaining? yes. Can only spare 100.00 per month for purchases, so going a little slow.

I have been in the hobby for 8 months now, and I only have 3 T's (Lasiodora parahybana, Brachypelma emilia, and Avicularia avicularia). You are looking at the epitome of self discipline in the T hobby right here.:cool:

...but I am tempted by Old World's...will probably have to get one...or two...perhaps three...

10 T's in 5 months, with an eye for 10 more within a month. I need nice display cases!!!

I am in the process of buying a table saw with an acrylic cutting blade so I can make my own enclosures for my soon to be out of control addiction.
T's I have seen, have no real dedicated commercial source for well made inexpensive enclosures, so I will make my own. From what I have priced, I can make several enclosures for the same price that you can buy 1 commercial exo tank.{D Then I can buy even more T's;)
