Hey, I’ve been in the hobby for 15 months now, but am new to the forum. Any tips on how to get acquainted here? Here is my collection so far (14)! My latest addition is an E.murinus and I’m loving it!

Hello all, Today my partner suprised me today while we were at a tarantula convention and got me my first ever T, which also happens to be my favourite and one I was researching for a couple years now, A cyriopagopus lividus aka...Colbalt blue. I am extremely excited as its my first ever T and...

Hey guys! So I guess to start I am from Canada and moved to Ireland in 2018, I got my first T years ago and he was an avic avic. I now have a T. Blondi and GBB with many more spiders to come. I did notice that most of the UK suppliers don't ship to Ireland anymore. Does anyone know of suppliers...

Hello! I got a pink toe tarantula yesterday. It came home with me in a plastic container, and i set the container in its new enclosure so it could make its way out when it wanted to because i didn’t want to stress it out any more than it already had been. It’s tucked itself in the corner of the...

I'm still trying to choose my first tarantula, and I am squarely stuck between these three. I would get all three, but due to my living situation I can only have one. Which species would you recommend for a college junior living in a small dorm? I plan to start off with a sling from Fear Not Ts...

Hello there, I thought this would be a good place to learn about the hobby. I currently only own one female phidippus regius and she's my second pet spider ever (both jumping spiders) I'm currently looking into tarantula keeping and trying to decide on species - I was initially intrigued by...

My T hasn’t molted with me yet so I’m still waiting to check that. I’m thinking male but I call it a she so I want some verification. Thanks!

Somebody please help me identify my tarantula! I’ve had her for a couple of months now and I want to say she’s a Grammostola Pulchripes but, I’m not sure. Her name is Hestia. Please help me out!!!

Thought I'd take a moment to say "hi" as a new member and new tarantula keeper. I've just started with two Acanthoscurria Geniculata slings from veteran member @Phil (thanks again mate). Super excited to be starting out in the hobby and being a part of the community. Thought I'd leave this...

Hi all I am completely new to the hobby and am looking for a small T to start. I have been researching the Euathlus sp ( and it's renamings!). I am practically interested in the Euathlus sp yellow and red now Homoeomma orellanai and chilensis. Been looking for one for about 8 months now but no...

Hello, my name is Jill. I already have an account on arachnoboards, but this forum seems to have a really good community of tarantula owners! I only have one tarantula that I've had for a couple years now, but I'm thinking of getting more. The T that I have right now is just your regular every...

Thanks to @Phil for recommending this as an alternative forum :-) Having had a scan through the site, I’d like to introduce myself and say hey! Having kept reptiles for many years I finally branched out into the world of tarantulas and more recently, scorpions. Though I kept a secret curly...

Hello! My name is Jonathan and am a 19-year-old guy from Sweden with a huge animal passion, and for a couple of months back, my interest in tarantulas and spiders started. And sens I bought my first tarantula I could not stop :) I'm studying animal and have one year to go before I graduate. On...

Hi! My name is John, I am greek and I live in Greece. I currently don't have any tarantulas but I'm really looking forward to obtaining one. I particularly like Brachypelma Hamorii , Acanthoscurria chacoana and Acanthoscurria geniculata. I am now learning some names, because I'm really fond of...
