Introductions!

My introduction

Hello All
I am Juan, just became a member of this forum and a member of the BTS. I enjoy the hobby and I enjoy learning and improving my knowledge on raising/breeding T's and other arthropods as well. Although I have always had some sort of arthropods since I was a child, it is two years now that I became fully engaged in this hobby as more knowledge has made possible to maintain and reproduce arthropods. As a Mexican I have the fortune to enjoy some of the most beautiful tarantula species since breeding Mexican tarantulas has become a growing hobby in Mexico .
I have been to England once but only to Cambridge for a work-related visit and to London for a day , but who knows, maybe I return to atend a BTS Exhibition in the near future which will be great!
Cheers

Hello everyone. I only have one T at the moment but i have plans for more. I have a G.Rosea called Lola. I have had her just over a year and can't imagine being without her now. My 4 year old son loves her and has asked for a redknee for his birthday!
Will be coming up in may to the show so look forward to meeting some on you there

Hello Mandy, fancy seeing you here! Lol!

OOOhhhh, you getting little man a red knee for his birthday? Hmmm, what can i tell Yeli her T is for?

anyway, Im Jo, and (obviously) and friends with Mandy and will also be coming to the show in May!

I don't have any Ts of my own at the moment. I have admired/loved and been fascinated by Ts for years but up until now circumstances (ex partner who hated spiders, young babies in the house etc) prevented me from owning my own. However now my kids are a bit older, it's time to get one.

My 3 yr old is obsessed with GBBs so we will be on the look out for one of them for her. Wouldnt mind getting my own T too though!

Hope to get to know you all better, and see some of you in May

welcome all!
this is a friendly place, loads of knowledgeable people posting, and if you use the search function you'll probably find alot of great info!
Juliano, nice to see someone from Brazil! you have some wonderful species there, and yes, it's a shame the laws there are so outdated.
many of us are working on captive breeding as well, as wild collection is definitely something to limit wherever possible

[Juliano Andre Carita]

Hi all!

I´m Juliano from Brazil!

I think you guys already know that here the arachnid´s hobby is an illegal practice, since our laws are so outdated, and we have great and responsible breeders/keepers, wich are doing an excellent job, with their collections! just by passion!

I´m pratically against collecting animals in the wild (except a few cases), and here we are structured by breeding as many species as we can put in our terrariums, i´m particularly in breeding Acanthoscurria gomesiana and Avicularia diversipes this season!

Unfortunatelly the great majority here doesn´t care about collecting of wild theraphosids, many for cultural issues, and others for the greedy or seeking easy money, it´s a shame on our country!

So, ím here to improve my knowledge, and make good friends in the Tarantula´s hobby!

Cheers!

I bought my first two spiders yesterday, a spiderling pinktoe Golieth birdeater and (I think a subadult) Brackypelma redleg, and so i wanted to join your board so i can get some advice

thanks

Hi Sagar, welcome to the forum and the world of spiders. I think you've probably got an Avicularia (pinktoe), as the Goliath bird eater is a T. Blondi, unless it's a T. Apophysis (pinkfoot) the latter two are two of the largest spiders in world, whereas the pinktoe is a small, black arboreal.
Enjoy the forum, I'm sure you will find lots of interest

Hi Mandy, welcome to the forum, a red knee would make a lovely present, nothing like getting into T's early in life lol.

Hello Bobby and welcome to the B.T.S. and its forums, you will find any help that you may need and make lots of new friends, I must admit I do not spend as much time as I should like in here but I have had my first breeding, and I did not realise how much of my time they would take up, mind you starting with L.parahybana was a bit of a shock as I was told how many eggs may be in the egg sac I didn't believe it until I opened it and saw hundreds of eggs with legs. LOL. Still there is nothing like throwing yourself in at the deep end is there?

Hi guy's and girl's, I have been lurking for a while now and thought it time that I say "hello".

I have only been keeping T's a few month's, and after starting off with a A versicolor sling im now well into double figure's, promised the mrs no more (well at least not until the BTS in May), so once again "hello" and keep up the great work

Andy.

My collection is limited only by my wallet :lol2:

Just started too, welcome

Hi people

I registered here a while ago but thought I should I should introduce myself

At the moment i only have an adult female G.rosea and an H.incei sling.
