Hey all

[Danilo]

Hi , just want to say a quick hello and a bit of background about me
I'm returning to the hobby after a break of a couple of years due to work commitments ,family life etc .

I started off as most people and bought one tarantula that quickly turned it to lots and lots of tarantulas lol .
I use to breed a few of them and sell them on different sites , and purchase more T's or reptiles with whatever I got .

So anyway I'm just in the process of purchasing a few slings (let's see how long it lasts as only a few) as I like rearing them from tiny and sexing the molts then pairing them off .

I've always been attracted to the hottest T's and am going to go down this route again so pokies , S.Calceatum , OBt's etc will be what I'm getting .

I've never been on this forum before and after researching what the best T forums and what I'm looking for I found this to be the most informative and friendly so here I am .

So hello again and look forward to learning and contributing and chatting to you all round the boards .

Welcome to the Group and back to the Hobby Danilo..................LC72UK

Hi Danilo, welcome back to the hobby

 

[WolfSpider]

Great site choice. Concur: most friendly and informative site. It's awesome that you are jumping back right into the deep end. (Baboons and Pokies) Ennie has some experience with starting in the deep end.

 

[Enn49]

Yes, my first 2 Ts as a complete novice were a juvenile OBT and a Pokie sling. My view I as long as you know what they're capable of treat them accordingly there is no problem.

 

[Dustin Amack]

Greeting! Welcome, glad you're back in the hobby. Enjoy!

 

[Danilo]

Thanks for the warm welcomes
I'm still trying to decide where to purchase from as I always bought from Lee at the spider shop but there doesn't seem to be much in stock now .

I've found spider world.eu to have loads and very reasonable price but a bit dubious to buy from overseas as there is no live guarantees and the distance is a huge risk.

Might have to take a chance as I want multiples of each T and going to get all the pokies to start off with .....and maybe a couple OBt's lol

Where do you guys get your T's from ?

Again thanks for the welcomes

 

[Enn49]

I use both spiderworld.eu and spidershop.pl regularly. Both will courier your Ts to you in a nice warm van if you ask. The way it works is the courier collects on Friday and delivers to you Saturday or Sunday and you pay the courier on delivery.
I buy most of my terrariums from spidershop.pl and any Ts I buy come with them, in fact my next order will also bring a snake.

 

[Danilo]

Thanks mate that's what I will do .

Been watching The dark den on YouTube and that's where got the heads up for the shop and I like the guy who does them so will give it a shot now

Thanks again

 

[Danilo]

Hey ,it's been a while but I had to put things on hold due to a house move but finally I own some T's again
I have a female and male poeciletheria regalis sub adults
And
8 poeciletheria vittata slings
So not a bad start to things again I feel and am more than happy .

Now not to buy anymore for the time being (easier said than done)

Will throw some pics up in a day or two once everyone has settled

Welcome back. Tarantulas haven't evolved that much since you're gone. Do tell us everything about the pokies!!

[Danilo]

Thanks everyone

I know I said i wouldn't but I've bought another T lol

I couldn't resist and got another pokie , but this time poeciletheria rufilata .

So I'm now up to 11 in the space of a week


Off topic but does anyone know how long the postage from spiderworld.eu takes to the UK on average once posted ?......
I paid for the van but it doesn't come to my part of Scotland so can only post

Congrats on the new T. Most of my orders from spiderworld.eu have taken 5 days. Occasional deliveries from Poland have been up to 9 days but I've not had a DOA yet.

 

[Danilo]

Thanks , just need the weather to warm up a bit then they can be posted ,
5 days isn't too bad I suppose seeing the distance there coming .

@Enn49 do you get tracking info so you know when there going to arrive ?

@Danilo You do get tracking from spiderworld.eu I think but it only works in Poland, for some reason our wonderful Royal Mail don't track them here and that is usually the slowest part of the trip.

 

[Danilo]

Thanks @Enn49 , no surprises with royal mail then

I've had the vittata for 6 days now and had a first moult last night

Not the best pic but
