I am from the Philippines, but grew up in Brooklyn, and now I live in California. I had a positive relationship with spiders my entire life, but I got into tarantulas January 2024 when I went to a reptile expo for the first time and got an H formosus sling. Since then, I've learned that I looooove dwarf Ts, and their small footprint meant i could get quite a few with the space that I have. Around June this year I got into breeding Cyriocosmus sp Oronegro, and despite my best efforts only got 13 babies survive to i2 out of 123. But that hasn't stopped me from continuing to try and learn more to make the next attempt work. Currently I have two D mineirum, 1 C elegans, 1 C ritae, 1 C sellatus paired, and am working to pair C sp Oronegro again soon as well as H guerreroi. I hope to be a steady source of Dolichothele, Cyriocosmus, and Hapalopus species, after which I'll branch out to lesser known dwarf genera! Nice to meet you all!</p></blockquote><p></p>
