[QUOTE="Matt S., post: 124298, member: 27555"] Hey everyone, my name is Matt. I am currently knee deep in research on purchasing my first tarantula. I have always wanted to keep one (I actually wanted to be an arachnologist as a kid), but between living with arachnophobic parents, and in residence halls in college it never seemed reasonable. Now, after several years of persistent persuasion, my wife has agreed to enable my interest. I have been lurking on this, and other, forums for awhile, and have been reading material from Tom's Big Spiders and other sources. I am hoping to make my purchase around the end of this month (I live in Oklahoma and there is a Reptile Expo here on January 27th.) I have a short list of tarantula slings I am considering for my first purchase, including but not limited to Brachypelma Albopilosum, GBB, and Grammostola Pulchripes. There is still a ton I need to learn, but I feel the vast amount of information related to these relatively alien beauties is what makes this hobby so compelling. I'll probably be dropping specific questions in relevant threads as they come up. I just wanted to take the time to introduce myself, and thank you for the information you all have already provided on this site, and thank you in advance for all the help I am sure you will provide in the future. It doesn't take a long time lurking in the forums to see that you have built a really great community here, and I can't tell you how much i appreciate that as a Newbie. Thanks all! [/QUOTE]
