Anyone else been buying too many Ts now that the weather is good? I've been really out of control the past month or 2. I justify it by telling myself I've sold a lot, but honestly... it's kind of inexcusable. I need a support group.

I gotta say that I'm not there yet...lol I've been out of the hobby for a while and I'm still in the buying mode 
Although when I left the hobby many years ago I was at 120 T's and 15 Scorps.

Hi my name is Kimberly,
Kymura on the boards.
I...l'm an arachnoholic....I keep ordering just one more....
got a nice little Aphonopelma anax just the other day, and a B.emilia coming as soon as I send the money, but I'm still drooling over others I don't have yet...and I really need a couple more avics, I mean really, I don't have a minatrix yet...and the Psalmopoeus! I love LOVE my Cambridgei so I have to have the others....*sighs* I keep rearranging finances to get just one more...I need intervention...

I've been buying new containers for some of my babies that are growing up. The shop I'm buying from do a door to door courier from Poland for these glass containers and if I buy Ts too they come packed inside those containers so what better excuse to buy a few more Ts with no worries about them going astray in our postal service. I have 4 on order

Yup, it's gotten pretty bad. I did a bunch of rehousings last month, rearranged my tarantula room, and discovered that I had room for several more spiders. I received two packages a few weeks ago, and I'm making up a wishlist for my next order. It seems like every time I buy one species from my wish list, I quickly add three more!

It is easy for me to have all these youngsters about, but it won't be so easy when they are all adults needing much bigger enclosures. After the most recent purchase, I won't be getting anymore. I have lots, who are all different ages/sizes, to keep me on my toes for years to come.

That was my thought but then I realised that I missed having the tiny slings around so the solution - buy more babies.
Well...I have a Aphonopelma hentzi sling and a
Aphonopelma anax juvenile.....so, basically will have a sling and a juvie for years...I need another excuse!
Works for meIt`s Tuesday Tomorrow Kymura. Good enough excuse.
But...I don't have 20 yet!! And besides...I said I'd stop at two dozen...(Bakers dozens)i must be the odd one here

I will have 18 and that is a comfortable number for me. Two of those are Euathlus sp Red and they are perpetual spiderlings/juveniles. They are going to satisfy my need for tiny tarantulas for a very long time.

EXACTLY! And then you're left with a bunch of perfectly good enclosures that just NEED to have occupants...so, it's back onto the computer to do more spider shopping.
