New to the forums and adding my first spider from a member on here soon. I live in Southern California and have always been into animals. When I was younger, I was really into reptiles and had a collection I’d say somewhere near 150 animals. Married now with kids and getting my step daughter 9 and my daughter 2, into animals more. We currently have 2 cats, a rose breasted cockatoo, and a bearded dragon. All which are completely spoiled. The 2 year old has taken a liking to inverts. My brother in his pre kids days used to have a nice tarantula collection of around 45 different spiders and he has a few left over. My kids are always wanting to check them out, mainly looking. So I convinced my wife we should get one!!! It took some convincing and now I’m working her on a Dubia colony. So I really wanted a female Chaco Golden Knee as our first spider and I placed my order for one! Excited to get her hopefully this week and looking forward to seeing my families faces when she gets here.
