I used to name my tarantulas, but as the collection grew too large I just decided to number them. However, any special tarantulas to me will be named once sexed so I still do name some tarantulas in my collection. Naming my tarantulas doesn't mean I'll treat them with more care, it just means it seems special to me. I treat all my tarantulas with detail and care and even numbered specimens will probably be given a unique name in the future as a sign of respect.

Named Tarantulas in my Collection:
0.1 A. chalcodes - Akarui
0.1 A. ezendami (larger) - Queen (RIP)
0.1 A. ezendami (smaller) - Hachi
0.1 A. seemanni - Mana
0.1 B. albopilosum (Honduran) - Camilla
0.1 B. albopilosum (Nicarauan) - Rosa
1.0 B. albopilosum (Nicaraguan) - Sr. Floof (RIP) I have his offspring to carry his legacy
0.1 B. emelia - Emelia
0.1 B. vagans - Velvet Crowe
1.0 C. versicolor - Versilius (RIP) I have his offspring to carry his legacy
0.1 G. pulchripes (larger specimen) - Seiya
1.0 G. pulchripes - Garo
0.1 G. pulchripes (smaller specimen) - Yue
0.1 H. maculata - Shiro

I love Sr. Floof! Those are all really cool names. I understand getting too many to name, it gets difficult after awhile!

Sr. Floof was well respected by me and many forum members back then, I still have pictures of him in my gallery as he lives up to his name. Even now, his name lives on within the forums and still is respected by many members that hears his name. I do have a few of his legacy with me, as they are juveniles now.

So you have recreated New Jersey, only with tarantulas? That's a massive improvement!!

 

[Royalty]

I just use their Latin names tbh. I do have a couple of nicknames for a couple-

H.Pulchripes is "Blue-legged Billy"
G.Pulchra is Fat-Arse (before it molted it had such a big bum my bf and I were joking about it. He never really knows too much about their names so I just say Fat-arse so he knows which one).

I call my I.Mira just Mira. She is a bit of a fat-bum right now and hopefully is molting/molted

G. Pulchra - Snoflwake (Because we all know snowflakes are black)
