Hi (potentially) new friends, I'm new here!

Good evening everyone,

My name is Mikey. I'm 24, in University (CJ major), and I plan to eventually move from Tennessee to Wisconsin once my life at home is resolved. I'm currently a caregiver and I plan to stay with my grandmother while I study at home.

I'm a newbie to the scene, as I'll be receiving my first two slings on Wednesday! I'm excited. I've already named them Loid (curly) and Hyde (redknee.) I'm a university student so I felt these companions would be best for me. Additionally I'm not very fond of directly handling animals, so its a double positive for me since they don't necessarily want to be handled directly either. Love me a pet rock with 8 legs.

I hope to meet and speak to you all, feel free to reach out if you'd like to be friends!

Mikey

Welcome to the hobby. :)
Be warned it's very addictive.

I've already figured that out! When I was buying the Redknee, I initially told myself I would only get one, there was a option for a freebie curly and at that point I was like "why not", went and bought some extra supplies from Amazon and now I want a few more, at least from the breeds I've researched on, that Wishlist number may grow. But I'm taking this slow. I've got lots to learn.

That's the way it goes, I was only getting one but ended up with 100 at one point.

Hi! Welcome to a whole new world! You picked one of my favorites. The Brachy (red knee) is a striking looking T and so relaxed. This is the best new keeper T IMO. Any questions or problems we are here for you!

I’m at 19… and I have three slings arriving today… I have to calm down. The slings were to keep me busy over the winter so I don’t get any more. That will be seven slings which is utterly enough for anyone. Plus a couple of rehousings. And 2 in pre-molt.
