Hey, everyone my name is Ben and I am pretty new still to the hobby. However, my start began in 2007, when I purchased my first T--a Chilean Rose. A major part of why I bought it was to get over my fear. So, after about month of having her, I decided to try and hold her. Fortunately, there was no issue for her or me. :) I kept her for about three years, but was moving out of state and so I gave her away to a friend, whom I trusted would take good care of her.
I thought I had moved on from tarantulas, but a while ago I watched some videos of some these wonderful creatures and decided to get back into the hobby again. My collection is small--two, but I am wanting to get some more. Currently, I am keeping a juvenile lasiodora parahybana and brachypelma abopilosum. I look forward to meeting some new keepers and gaining new knowledge about these eight-legged wonders!

Welcome to the forum! Everyone here is extremely nice and have been so helpful to me. I, too, (as a lot of us here) have/had a fear of spiders. I got my first one 2 years ago, by accident. I now have 4, including a B.Albo. I love watching them, I am not a handler! Not that brave!
Yeah, I have feeling that I am won't be stopping at just two T's. I agree with you the handling part, I did when I first got my first T way back in 2007. Personally, I don't feel the need to handle, but my Brachypelma Albpilosum is tempting. :)
