Hey everyone,

Ok so ive been keeping tarantulas a short while (not a year yet) i started off with a Chilean rose then bought a pink toe juvenile, a Mexican red knee and orange starburst baboon slings. Now i have a new wish list of:
Green bottle blue
Giant white knee
Salmon pink

Although i will wait till my slings are at least juveniles haha. Is everyone else like this? Always wanting more, i had no idea when i got into this hobby i would want more haha.

I think I'm ill :p

Chris

No, although I've owned my first T for less than a month, I'm already looking and anticipating my future buys. I do believe this is a normal thing for all members of the hobby, and it sure is great. :p

Here in the States there is an advert for crisps that states something to the effect of "Bet you can't have just one."

This applies to T's as well...

Oh I know! I was thinking the same thing lol I read up on T's a couple of times a day and I am always on this forum! My brain absorbs everything about T's like a sponge I just love it! I need a bigger room too, I a running out of shelf space. HAHA

I am addicted to the big big T's ;) I just love that I can have a creature so old and Goliath in my room that I can watch and be apart of everyday. But I love all T's too! I don't have a favorite because all T's have different unique qualities that make each of them fascinating! :cool:

Haha the question is.... Where :p
Well I know my first house wont be my "dream house" but if it has a spare bedroom I will fill it with t's! :cool: And when I do have my dream house I want to have almost like a mini lab room for my t's, with shelves, table, counter top, cabinets, sink..etc. I've got it all planned out lol
