Hello Hello

I am Daniel and I live with my wife in Urbana, IL. So my story is basic. I am 34 years old and was a severe arachnophobe my entire life. My wife is a grad student in entomology and she has a lab full of tarantulas or all sorts. So finally earlier this year I touched and held my first one, a Chilean Rose Hair who was sweet as can be. I held a few more and and I am happy to say I am now not only cured I just returned from the All Animal Expo with a Curly Hair and a Red Rump for my wife and I

I am totally hooked now

Thanks all for listening!
