Hi guys! Pleased to be here!

I'm moggy, I'm very new to forums, so if I make any mistakes, do inform me! Looking forward to chatting everything spider!

I have four adult T's (So far) and three Slings that are all doing well. My fav is my Pookie, an adult Desert Blonde, she's such a character, but i'll go into that later!

They aren't technically Tarantulas, but, they are cute......but I also have many, MANY Regal Jumping Spiders! Well, two adult girls and A LOT of slings..

Happy to meet you all!

Fank you, lots! :) It's nice to know another new bee, too! Hehe!

I've only been owning spiders for 6 months+ but they are addictive! I had a phobia as a kid but it has long since dissipated... I still find the chunky house spiders a little UN-co-operative, but T's are so gentle and considerate. I'm besotted.. Ty for your reply! x

Thanks! It's a recent hobby but I find them truly beautiful and so bewitching! I have to be careful not to have too many though.. I haven't gotten anything that's not docile yet either. All of mine are Terrestrial so far...but, I would of had a Guyana Pink toe but they sold out. I'm also failing on the Latin, but I'll get there :)

I have posted it already in the 'For Sale' section, but I'm not having a lot of luck selling my Phidippus Regius Slings. I'm going away in March so it's getting desperate. Is this site usually used more in the US? As I'm in the UK.

Thanks for any help in advance!

Great question? I believe there are more collectors from the U.S. here but I know we have quite a few Canadians and Brits on the site. Good luck with the sale!

I'm in the Uk but I don't think I could cope with jumpers, sorry.
Thats no probs, they are very small and delicate, I just hope I can find some loving homes pronto! I didn't breed her myself, she arrived and a month or two later laid the first batch in a big cocoon, now, she's made another which is showing signs of emerging already! I've sold a fair few but I have 17 days to get the rest sorted. Any helpful links would be appreciated! Shame you can't take them as they are fun, but yeah, very small. :p

Have you tried selling on the BTS or RFUK sites?

I shall look both of them up, thanks so much! I'm such an online armature. I just posted an ad on arachnoboards, so some fingers crossed! it's such a shame as I'd look after as many as possible but I have to go away just as much. I guess if worst comes to worst, my spider sitter will have to deal with it! She was my introduction into spiders and she's given me so many!!!

The 2 I gave you are UK based so you should have more success, whereas Arachnoboards is US based like this site.

You can always tell your sitter that it's payback for passing the addiction on to you :)
