@Phil thanks Phil, I guess that puts it into perspective, just too much work and a lot of hassle and no guarantees they survive..oh dear.. soooo I wonder if I could ever find a home for say... a Biru or a Selodonia :rolleyes: I wonder;) Thanks again, that answers any doubts or possible thoughts...

Thank you for the reply, yes, I want to do everything by the books of course, and dont want to risk anything but just wondered if anyone had done this much. that’s the thing, I could find homes for many but the Selodonia really are special and doing well here too. Shame to leave them. Thanks again.

Hi all, out of interest, is it possible to export a dozen Ts from U.K. to USA, Arizona, they are pets, and there’s also two Typhochlaena seladonia which i think might be tricky. Anyone exported before here? And who does one do it and where do you start? Obviuosly not at the moment, would be a...

Great photo Jess! “Portly bottom”? :Dbless! Very apt! My boehmei looks a little similar I think! :oops: Uh oh.

Incredible progress to be in a car with a spider, I’m the same, I nearly crashed once seeing one but like you I’m better now! And LOL, yes, all of a suddenly you look at your huge collection of Ts and think how did that happen?? @Brachyfan brilliant story!

Must add part of the pleasure for me is making up a decorative Terrarium and lighting it nicely so It’s a nice thing to look at even when there isn’t a tarantula on view, all mine are in terrariums not plastic containers, so I can see and enjoy them and more importantly firstly adjust to and...

Thank you Jess, that’s so sweet, I had to giggle a little when I see you now have 14!!?? Wow! That’s amazing. i just know how strong the fear was but i know my life has been so enriched but the creatures I feared the most! I’m so glad you are doing so well and keeping so many and we have this...

Hi and a big welcome to this brilliant and friendly forum from another Brit, I’m in West Sussex.

Welcome! I’m another serious arachnophobe turned serious arachnoholic! I almost DID burn my house down when I saw a spider, I’m not joking! If I saw one, I Wouldn’t enter a room for weeks until I knew it was dead! I’d have nightmares about spiders and wake up and check the room Incase it was...

Oh! She is seriously beautiful! Stunning colours! Thanks for sharing! I have one but it’s very tiny.

that sounds great, I think you will get a lot of pleasure and positive distraction watching them, they are fascinating and it helps channel your thoughts away from negative things. i have all of mine in Fish Tank like set ups decorated with rocks and plants etc and illuminated so I can watch...

Hi there, welcome to the forum! Ive kept boas and pythons, chameleons, dart frogs, lots of things, i don’t have many now but I found for me personally being a worrier, I was constantly stressed caring for high maintainance reps, I didn’t mind the time and commitment, knew what I was taking on...

They really are, you described them perfectly too, I love how sweet and slow they are and it never fails to amaze me they managed to ever evolve and survive at all because they seem really rather hopeless at actually tracking food down and catching it, many a time mine sense the food and stand...

Thank you so much, Glad you liked the cards, that’s very kind to say so. :) must paint some arachnids one day! Painted plenty of beetles but no Ts yet.

Hi Jess, thank you so much for your research and that’s very interesting info, I think I got a bit hyper when I found her thinking I might soon be a mum! remembering a photo of a gravid scorpion I had seen but later I remembered they had that egg sac you were talking about, LOL, got a bit...
