Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sherito" data-source="post: 199756" data-attributes="member: 37647"><p>I live in Maine and have a grammostola rosea named Charlotte. She (I hope) is a little over a year old and I have had her since October of 2020. She is my second tarantula. I had one named Fluffy many years ago. She had been passed down through several people before I got her, so I was never sure what her actual age was or what species she was but I had her for about 10 years before she died. At that time, the State of Maine made the keeping of a tarantula without special permitting illegal and as much as I wanted to get another I could not. They finally changed the law a couple of years ago but will only allow 3 species (only certain grammostolas) as pets without having to have any type of permit. I am so excited to have another one. I love spiders and think that they are absolutely beautiful. I try to convince people that they make great pets, but most people just think I am crazy. I am excited to be part of this forum.</p></blockquote><p></p>
