I joined this forum a few days ago but I've been browsing around it for the past year or so. I'm 20 and I've been keeping Ts for the past 10 years (though the first 7 years were just with my pet rock g. porteri that is still with me today). I currently have 42 Ts, but it will be 56 + 3 eresus walckenaeri by this Wednesday! I'm always open to name suggestions as well <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />. Very excited to finally own some true spiders!! Though this will probably be my limit for a while until I'm done with ugrad/grad school. I'd like to say I'm pretty experienced with keeping tarantulas, but what I love about this hobby is that there is always more to learn no matter how much one thinks they know. I'm joining with the primary goal of meeting more like-minded hobbyists (all of my hs/college friends despise everything 6/8-legged lol), learning more husbandry/enclosure set-up tips, helping beginners with questions, hearing peoples' experiences with certain sp., and trading some of MMs I will eventually have (I currently don't have the time nor resources to breed Ts).</blockquote>
