Always glad to see people getting involved into a "less accepted" hobby.[emoji3] Nice mix you have there, I like baboons, my favorite type of T. I've been a keeper for more years than you are old, and am still learning new things about these awesome creatures. I sometimes get the "you are weird for keeping those" response from people. I just say "Anyone can keep dogs or cats, but it takes a true animal lover to have exotic pets, now what do you have?". Usually we have a informative talk about how fascinating tarantulas are and how to properly care for them. At work, everyone knows I keep them and the majority will occasionally ask questions. Few of my friends will even go into my T room, others have varying degrees of arachnophobia. [emoji6]  Keep us posted on any new additions, I'm sure it won't stop at 5. Lol!! Happy T'ing.</blockquote>
