Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nunua" data-source="post: 152472" data-attributes="member: 4947">My only question at this point is "why?" - I mean, I get that hobbyists want tarantulas, but there is something off when someone goes with "I just want to have a huge amount of them, no matter the species..." mentality <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite11" alt=":rolleyes:" title="Roll Eyes    :rolleyes:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":rolleyes:" /> Naturally, all of us can do what ever we want to, but I hope that you'll be selective of what you really want and start growing your collection moderately.If you want to get and sell them, do like Arachnoclown. Just remember the laws of supply and demand.If you want to get a big collection, use all advice you've gotten so far and start in a selective manner.If you want to get a huge amount of slings just so you can go "yoooo, I have 12657 slings, I'm not too sure about the species", don't.I may sound a bit harsh here, but I've seen cases where a person just wanted to have a huge amount of "something cool" without thinking about what happens in the future when they require more space etc. Those are not happy stories.Anyway, hello and welcome <img src="https://tarantulaforum.com/images/beeremoji.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":beer:" title="Beer    :beer:" data-shortname=":beer:" /></blockquote>
