Message: <blockquote data-quote="helenaoskars" data-source="post: 226054" data-attributes="member: 42709">I’d like to introduce myself. I registered to this forum for two reasons: Tarantulas fascinate me, and I currently own two Psalmopoeus irminia juvenile spiders. I have owned a tarantula called Cuban Rose in my language. The pet store that sold her did not know tarantulas. Could it have been a Grammostola rosea? I’ve added pictures and would love to know! She died this summer, at approx. 15 years of age. I recently bought two Psalmopoeus irminia juvenile spiders. They appear to have very different attitudes? One is very active and always visible, the other has been hiding in a substrate “cave” since we bought it eight days ago. I hope to learn more in this forum, as I’ve never owned anything but an adult tarantula, and never this kind. I’d love to get in touch with someone that could teach me something that’ll make my spiders life better. I’ve added pictures of my active spider and the cave of the other one. As for me? I’m a secondary school teacher with two hobbies: tarantulas and whippets. <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite2" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
