Message: <blockquote data-quote="Sonorantree" data-source="post: 100130" data-attributes="member: 13813">Thank you for the welcome!I am a beetle collector from Arizona who has recently gotten interested in tarantulas. I live in the desert and was able to collect a female A chalcodes this summer. She is doing very well and has finally gotten used to eating dubia roaches. I collected a female A paloma recently and she is not yet settled down. I'm trying different foods, mostly unsuccessfully...I am thinking of getting some other tropical species (Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens, Theraphosa blondi are a couple I am really interested in!), but will take some time to make sure I have things figured out. I am not interested in handling these animals, only for display!I'll be reading and studying in the meantime!</blockquote>
