Hi all! Been lurking here for almost a year. Spider buying season is here, so I decided to make myself known.

I started out in June with the intent of only getting Brachypelmas, and only adults. Ordered a B. Smithi, got a T. albopilosus sling as a freebie. I didn't know about freebies. Decided it was ok, because Tililocatl used to be Brachypelma. Did a crash-course in sling care. I didn't know anything about taking care of slings. It wasn't my genus or age group, but it was still a new world. I'll at least stick to new worlds. A few months later I ordered a B. Emelia. Got another freebie. C. Darlingi. So yeah, totally sticking to the plan here. Then I got fascinated with Aponophelmas and got an A. Chalcodes.

I told a friend I'd stop at ten unless I found an eleventh one I liked. ;)

Cheers all!

Welcome to the forum/family dear lurker :)
There is heroine, crack, oxicodone and tarantula collecting. Who needs college funds for their kids when you could get them tarantulas! I had to convinced my son he'll have to be an entomologist now ;)
