Hiya!

[Myziry]

Well, hi!

So I am new to the world of T's. My husbands best friend breeds em' and well I got hooked. I'm a proud owner of a Brachypelma Albopilosum (Emry), and a Avicularia Veriscolor (Alex) sling, which I had received both in the last month. I have had the B.Albopilosum for one molt, she is now about 2" and my A.Veriscolor is about half inch. I don't have any good pictures of Alex, still too small to get a good picture through her enclosure.

About me, well, I'm 27 and just learning about T's. I also have dogs, cats, and a ferret.

Welcome! I'm a noobie too, to T's and the forums. Bought my first G. Pulchripes and I'm head over heels.

 

[Myziry]

Thanks for the welcome! I see the picture, very lovely T you have there.

 

[Flud]

Thank ya kindly! Same for yours, I'm not familiar with many species, let alone their scientific names.. But that black/dark one is beautiful!

 

[Myziry]

Thanks! Shes (though I am not sure of her sex) is a Honduran curly hair or B. Albipilosum. All four photos are of her. Her coloring depends on what angle you get her at it seems.

 

[Flud]

Ahh I see! The last two look like two different T's IMO! x)

Welcome to the forum and to the tarantula addiction. Curly hairs are great tarantulas with awesome temperaments.And with all those hairs they kinda remind me of a fluffy teddy bear. Enjoy them. If you have any questions feel free to ask. The members on this forum is very friendly and helpful.

Hey there welcome aboard!

Some people have mixed feelings with using/having a mesh top so you might wanna consider reading about that as well. Not being rude though lol

im curious about your mesh top comment. i am new to the T world. why would the mesh top not be good?

 

[Myziry]

Thanks for everyone's responses! I got a new sling today L. Parahybaba.

 

[Josh]

Welcome aboard! Sounds like you've got the T addiction like the rest of us!

 

[Myziry]

My B.Albopilosum is on her 2nd molt while in my care! She's built a door to her cave and from what I can see she's a littlesmokey in color where the shedding is starting! So excited!

Some keepers have experieces with their Ts' legs getting caught in between gaps and when this happens, their Ts would tear their leg off to break free. Some have experiences with their Ts losing grip on screen tops and falling hence abdomens bruising or bursting. Other than that screen top enclosures dry up quickly thus losing the much needed moisture. The latter won't matter if you're living in a sub-tropical/tropical country since humidity is usually constant. Just some safety concerns

 

[Denny Dee]

Good points. I have the bulk of my T's with screen covers and have never had an incident but certainly have heard of others. I prefer the screen cover as it helps avoid mold and fungus much better than the all glass. Pros and Cons to both for sure. But you do have more work to do on managing the humidity levels.

 

[MUHrie]

interesting and good to know. thank you.

So I deffinately have the T addiction. Im up to 6 now. My A.Veriscolor, My B.Albopilosum. Then I got 1 L.Parahybana, 2 B.Vagans. As well as an adult female A.Flagstaff orange. Ahh how my collection grows. Getting better at feeding/misting and no panicking about them LEAPING out and running amuck in my house.

Impressive. Have you been to a show yet? You may want to avoid that until you get control over the addiction . That is the true test of will power if you can walk out without a new T.
