Hey spider people

[purplerex]

Hey!

I was part of the hobby years back when I was younger, but unfortunately had to sell up when I went off to university. Its taken a good few years but I’ve finally taken the plunge & gotten my first few spiders again. No looking back now!

Previously, I’ve kept a massive variety of Ts, but must say I’m totally drawn to arboreal mostly & have always had a thing for the Avicularia genus.

I started my ‘new’ collection off strong with a C. versicolor & now also have a C. Laeta, A. geniculata & have just picked up a little A. pururea today!

Don’t think it’ll be long before I’m overrun again, can’t wait.

Thanks for having me!

One of those things is not like the others lol (guess which)

Welcome to the forum, and back to the hobby.

Would love to see how you have your spoods setup!

Haha she sneaked in! Couldn’t say no.

Will grab some pics when I’m happy with everything, next on the shopping list is definitely a nice shelving unit! Told myself I was going to just get a Versicolor.. but that was in December & we all knew that was a lie!

Hello! I can relate. I've had one T for five years, after a long break. Thinking of buying more and trying not to order one of everything...

Welcome back to the hobby.

Thanks guys! Finding it hard to resist the urge to buy millions, think it’s even harder returning than starting brand new - keep find myself wanting to replace all the ones I moved on!

Greetings and welcome aboard!

I have been giving a couple of arborials the side-eye as of late. It might turn out to be an interesting summer. Funny how you start out interested in one thing and it ends up going in all different directions.

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the hobby. Same as you I had a few Ts back in France and had to donate them when I left for NYC. Needless to say getting back to it almost 20 years later (and a steady paycheck) had its advantages. Looking forward to seeing your new babies.

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to the hobby! I took a break for the better part of ten years as well, it's interesting how much things have changed over time!
