Hi guys.

I'm glad I could find a forum that is easy to navigate. Other forums are way too hard to navigate :( .

I joined here because I have a lot of questions about these awesome creatures and their keeping, Probably some... Huh, let's just say, "off" questions about them too, yet still on topic though.

I am 18 now. I got my first T about 3 weeks ago, and since then I got 2 others, in the following order:

1: Brachypelma Albopilosum
2:Brachypelma Sabulosum
3: And a Lasiodora Parahybana (I totally didn't just look up this last one's scientific name... :D )

They are all slings, except the bird-eater, which I think might be about a few months to a year old, being about 5 or 6 inches in length.

Thanks for letting me join the forums :)

Edit: I made a little mistake in the beginning of my post since I was preoccupied, but eh, I fixed it, lol. (it was about a forum in South Africa which I crossed with this one, if you are curious.)

Haha, yeah, I actually had it crossed over with another forum I was looking at and typing to at the same time, I apologize for that :) but I fixed that part of my intro :D
No problem brother, this is the friendliest forum around, we don't act superior, or snippy, and you're actually talking to the worst of us right now ;) I occasionally get hammered and rant about things, but everyone else is very cool :)

Welcome to the boards and don't be afraid to ask anything, we all started somewhere and probably had the same questions ;)

Thanks :) Aye, everyone here honestly looks like some of the best mannered people I have seen in a long time on any kind of forum. I love it when a community helps each other and do so with a smile :)

Thanks guys, I appreciate the welcomes :) I will definitely try to not be shy to ask anything if it means I can better care for my spiders :)

Welcome Umbra. A friendly and informative site. T-keeping's addictive.
