Hi guys!

[IttyBittySpider]

Hi, I'm Susan! I've always wanted to get into Tarantulas and now I've finally gone and done it! I've always had frogs, snakes, and other slithery things around, why not acquire some eight-legged cuties? I've been paying close attention to spider-keeping for a long time and I've always been lurking, but it feels good to finally be in the hobby...

Nice to meet everyone!

Welcome, what species of T's did you end up getting for your first ones?

 

[IttyBittySpider]

B. Albopilosum will probably add B. Smithi, G. Pulchra, G. Pulchripes, maybe Avic Avics and Versicolors later on

 

[Nada]

All great choices. Welcome to the hobby!

 

[IttyBittySpider]

Thanks! My spider-owning dreams someday include the big guys, T. Stirmi and T. Blondi. But, gotta start out small first

 

[Nada]

I have a Massive Stirmi pair, and they're something else lol
definitely not for the novice. Try a Parahybana; Great for new keepers and get massive.

 

[IttyBittySpider]

I love how Stirmi look, and I'll enjoy working my way up to owning one someday Will definitely look into parahybana though!

Hello and welcome to TF

 

[DalilahBlue]

Agree with the LP's (and your other choices) and would like to suggest A. geniculata aka White Knees!

Welcome to the addiction!

 

[IttyBittySpider]

Oh my gosh, White knees are wicked looking! They're so striking.... Do they keep like other terrestrials?

 

[DalilahBlue]

Pretty much, and with attitude to boot. The sling in my avatar is my wee Ginny.
