Thank you Josh for a warm welcome. I am new to the forum but have heard great things about it! We began the hobby when my 7 year old that has ADHD wanted a T. Well....being from the Oklahoma/Missouri area, I was really arachnophobic!! Mainly because of the high infestation of the Brown Recluse! But after that first T that I told him we would give a try.....the next thing you know you have 7!!! Lol! I got bit by them for sure! Right now we only have 3.....I have an Acanthoscurria Geniculata female named Alice. She is full grown with about an 8.5" leg span. She is a riot and VERY well manored for her species!! And my son has a B. Smithi named Cinder. She is sporting about a 4 inch leg span and still growing! She just molted! And last but not least we have a C. Cyaneopubescens or GBB sling to make it easier! We have not named it yet until we can confirm the sex....but we're praying for a female as we already had a male that we watched from being a sling until he died....:( The males are such fast growers! That being said, our sling is definitely not molting as fast as our male did before, so we are keeping our fingers crossed!!!

Anyway, nice to meet everyone!!
