[QUOTE="VanessaS, post: 72902, member: 4948"] I used to be made fun of because of my 'boring' taste in tarantulas. I don't want anyone more challenging than my hardy, docile, NW terrestrials. For me it is about spending my life with a creature who I love more than just about anything in the world - my spidey friends - and appreciating them without the stress of getting habitats perfectly suitable or dealing with the more defensive species. As much as I love them, I do still fear them a wee bit. I think that is probably a good thing to be for me. They could never be boring to me, regardless of how easy they are to maintain. I remember seeing my first G. pulchra when I picked my B. albopilosum, Chole. I was speechless. She was the most gorgeous being I had ever laid eyes on - all fuzzy and pitch black. And with a sweet disposition to match! I had to have her. I begged the guy to give me a couple of days to get the money together and he agreed. She was pretty spectacular and lived up to the reputation that they have been given. I miss her a great deal. I would give just about anything for the one I've purchased to turn out to be female. I really do love all tarantulas, and find them all beautiful, but my favourites will always be the understated ones - the beige, the brown, the rose ones. People used to say that the longer I had tarantulas, the less impressed I would be with Evelyn. Nothing could be further from the truth - I think she is as beautiful now as the first day I saw her.
