Hi!

[Ladylola]

Hello everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself, since I will probably be on here ALOT as I am a new T enthusiast. I am from Colorado, USA, and bought my first T about 3 months ago. They're somewhat addicting, like tattoos, hahaha. I now have 5! I have 3 slings, a B. smithi, a G. pulchra, and an A. versicolor. As well as an adult B. smithi and an Avic avic (my first) I can't believe how attached I've gotten to all of them so quickly. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions to come, and look forward to learning all about this hobby!

Hello there and welcome to the forums.

Hi, welcome to the addiction. I'm sure you'll soon have many more.

Welcome aboard! You have jumped right in with 5 T's. I always believe the hobby is much more interesting after 50.

Thank you! I'm Lauren by the way, forgot to add that little tidbit in my introduction lol

Welcome LadyLola! They're deff. addicting- I am currently waiting on my 5th delivery OBT sling and of course I cannot have an odd number of T's so I will be doing another purchase in about a week. You're off to a great start!

Hi! I was actually wondering if anyone could suggest a good site to order from? Mine so far have been locally purchased or adopted. Which is great, cause I have them right away! Lol. But that also means I haven't had very many to choose from.

Welcome And as far as sites, there's Swifts invertebrates, netbug, kenthebugguy,petcenterusa,stamps tarantulas,jaimies tarantulas,the classifieds here, at arachnoboards, and at tarantulas us. There's more but those are the ones I can think of. You'll often find the best deals in the forum classifieds, and you can also find reviews on the sellers in the forums somewhere. Just be careful and only buy from people with good reviews. Hope this helps, and I like the tattoo

Denny Dee I noticed you have an S hoffmani...how are they? I've been interested in that spider for awhile..Do they stay burrowed, or show themselves? I've heard they're pretty calm as well. Any comments on the species?

Started as a sling. Can't tell yet whether I have a male or female. Terrestrial burrower. I don't see her (assuming a her at this point) very often but when I do she is gorgeous. Very unique looking species and a great addition to the collection.

So, can't answer temperament questions for you but definitely not a handler as there is suspicion that the venom is quite potent if you were to get tagged. Cooler species as they can be comfortable in the high 60's.

Excellent..the venom thing is very interesting. Unique species. Only one with a horn in South America. A must have

@MassExodus thank you! I haven't really done much exploring here yet, so I had no idea about the classifieds. I'm definitely going to be checking that out!
