Newbie tarantula keeper

[Rotten Apricots]

Hello! I recently got into tarantulas. I've had a Grammastola sp. for a really long time but it hasnt been until recently that i've had the funds to start collecting tarantulas and getting involved in the hobby. I want to learn more so I can eventually start breeding as I like to watch things grow and thrive. So far I have: P. murinus sling, C. Versicolor sling, A. Avic (I think its a. avic I keep hearing opposing opinions) sub adult female, Grammostola Rosea adult, L. Hesparus adult female. I plan on increasing my collection slowly so as not to overwhelm myself... but finding the temptation to not buy a bunch oh so hard.

Hi, welcome from a fellow newbie Sounds like a pretty good collection you have going. I'm trying to pace myself as well, and the temptation to buy a whole bunch at once is very real! In the meantime, enjoying everyone else's pics and stories helps a little

@Rotten Apricots Hi and welcome.
When you're ordering online it makes sense to buy a few so you save on shipping at least that's my excuse. I was only buying one when I started 3 years ago and now I have 71 with 6 more due in a couple of weeks.

I'm stuck at 12 (promise to the wife), but I understand the creeping addiction. I could easily slowly accumulate up to Ennie's level. So, I understand. Anyway, congratulations @Rotten Apricots for starting a wonderful hobby. And again congratulations for choosing, by far and away, the best tarantula site on the internet. (Obviously, you are a good decision-maker )
