Hi to all

[jenna]

New T momma here.
Just thought I'd join as I'm very new to the hobby and keeping T's. Always have had a fear of spiders, but something about T's fascinated me.
Put alot of thought into my decision, and did as much research as I could before I finally decided to pick up my first girl in April at an expo. She is a B. Boehmei, and as feisty as they come.
In June I adopted my 7 legged A. Seemanni from a local pet store. So far it has been amazing watching them, and learning, and can't wait to learn even more.
tarantula forum was recommended, considering some other forums can be a tiny bit...discouraging (for lack of a better word)

Hi Jenna welcome to the hobby & the forum. Lucky you, having a 7 legger. You will now get to watch one of natures wonders. Over the next two molts, 7 will become 8. First a thin leg will appear, next the full thing.

We have a Brachy who is generally known as psycho b1tch due to her wonderful temperament. All it takes is for the International Space Station to pass overhead, & she threat postures & flicks hair.

Hello and welcome.
Strangely my B. Boehmei is very calm, in fact all my Brachys are.

Oh I would love if mine wasn't so feisty lol.
I change her water and I'm being flicked at

Not gonna lie, I'm super excited to watch her progress, they truly are amazing little furry creatures

Welcome to the forum .

Welcome Jenna! As M0slx so astutely pointed out you get to see a Tarantula re-generate a limb. I have witnessed this twice now! My M. Balfori lost a pedipalp and 2 legs! 3 molts later and you can't tell. Simply amazing animals! Love'em!!!

Trying to keep the list to 6....maybe 8 ‍

That won't happen.
I was only ever going to have one but before I knew it I had 100, down to 30 now though.
