[QUOTE="Tortoise Tom, post: 143333, member: 27883"] I took care of tarantulas when I started working in pet shops in the mid 80s. My very first tarantula that I bought and kept at home was a pink toe in the early 90s. Avicularia avicularia. Over the years I had several others including rose hairs, red knees, chaco gold knees, and Brazilian blacks, all of which have been re-named by scientists since then, except for G. pulchra. Who remembers G. rosea, G. aureostriata, and B. smithii. For all those years, I was a "casual" tarantula keeper. I often had two or three around, but seldom more than 6 at any one time, and always common, docile species. Its only in the last few months, since finding this forum, that I've jumped in to the hobby and gone crazy with a whole lot of different species. I've got around 50 of a couple dozen different species now. I've greatly enjoyed trying out the new ones and learning about them. I have new favorites and I'm learning more every day. [/QUOTE]
