New to the Tarantula Life

[NYX]

Hi all! I have been in love with spiders for so long. I finally felt confident enough to own one and I am on day two with my lovely Grammostola rosea. I was torn at first because my local Reptile shop had a lovely B.Smithi as well. Hope to have fun with you all in this forum.
Cheers!,
Nyx

Hey Creaturekeeper 91. What lovelies do you have/ started with?
And Hello all! Really super excited about this.

 

[creaturekeeper 91]

Right now I only have a 1" A.Diversipes. but I have a few in mind to pick up at the next expo!

Nice I really like the avicularia's. Ok so I actually just wound up with another T by chance, a GBB Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens. Was not planning on another one so soon but this T was not in good conditions at all. No idea how old exactly or to the sex. They only said that the T molted a 'few times' . I would say 2 inch leg span about. Yeah I can't wait we have two reptile expos coming up in the next 6 months in my area.

I have been into rescuing reptiles for a while. From people who are overwhelmed by there snakes size or just don't want anymore to **** pet stores that shouldn't really have any of these animals since they are not equipped for it. I am thinking Tarantulas are in the same boat at this point. shame.

I have been into rescuing reptiles for a long time too. Lucky I'm a low key hoarder of reptile supplies haha
