What was your first ever species of tarantula? And story about how you got to own it.
Mine was a: Cobalt Blue
It was a small town petstore prolly not even 900 sq ft that pretty much delt in bunnies, kittys, iguana's, nothing to exotic.. but when i saw this Tarantula with shiny BLUE legs(cobalt blue) i thought it was the end all be all tarantula and desided to make the purchase. I think it was 29.95... Looking back now i remember the owner even telling me "o yeah you can handle this species, very docile". . Needless to say i got it home and put him/her into a 2 gallon kritter keeper with about 3 in of substrate. I buried a empty toiletpaper roll into the substrate as a makeshift tunnel also.. lol . If i would have know more about t's i prolly would have noticed this was a adult male and he didnt not have much time left on the ol ticker. Which he didnt.. But he totally got me into the hobby,and now i have owned over 10 dif species of T and 3 dif species of scorps.
