I have a pretty good idea who amongst us has the most Ts. But, it would be nice to share your numbers--just for fun. I will start.

Over 4 years, my addiction has steadily increased. But, for the past 2 years, I have reached a comfortable steady state for me: 30. I plan to keep 30 tarantulas for the foreseeable future. When one dies I plan to replace the one. What about the rest of the community?

Woo Hoo! First single digit checking in! I have a whopping 8 tarantulas. This is funny to me because I've told a co-worker that to a non-tarantula person, that is a lot. To some tarantula people, that is nothing. A bit off topic, but I've said something along the same lines to the same person when using latin names as well. To a non-tarantula person, I look like I know a lot, but to a tarantula person I don't know jack! I never want to come off as a pedant.

Don't sell yourself short, my friend. Thanks for carrying the message.

20, holy crap I have 20.. I stuck to the 16 rule really hard.

Lol, yes my rule was 10, then 20, then 30... then I stopped lying to myself ahaha. But I do REALLY need to be careful now and keep in mind how big all the slings are going to get. I have 52 currently; 15 arboreal, 13 old world. I like re-counting them into groups :p I got my first in July last year, but I have got them in a sensible order I feel... just rapidly ;)
