Introductions!

[Vicky W]

Welcome Tim, Good luck at the B.T.S. show , I know I would get carried away if I went there so it's a good thing it's too far away from me. I only have a small collection, and I have just databased them to keep in order and they total 52 , I did not realize I had that many. You will soon have many of every kind as they are sooo tempting

Hello there everybody, i'm Xavier and thought it was about time I joined the forum Not a lot to say, myself and the sibling are fairly invert-fascinated, hoping to weave them into a fair number of my landscape conservation essays and such, i'm also a member of the British Arachnological Society and have a love for our native true arachnids and the Grammies. I'm finding if it's big and black I tend to fall in love, or big and brown ... unlike the sibling i'm not really a pokie fan though XD

Erm. I don't know what else to say, hi =D

[Craig Mackay]

Welcome Xavier! Not a pokie fan, eh? I'm not sure I've met anyone on here that isn't before, lol! What do you keep? Hope you enjoy the forum.

I know, everyone seems to like them or have at least one in their collection. I've been told by some people my opinion will change over time, but i'm quite happy with the big fluffy brown/big fluffy black things I only keep G.rosea presently, should be getting a few G.pulchra this weekend, trying to control myself until i've moved somewhere a little more permenant than a student rent though

[Yvonne Woolley]

Not all of us Craig, I am not o Pokie fan at all I only had one young lady pokie and I finished up giving her to Mary. LOL

Hi everyone

I'm Jennifer from London. I'm still a newbie with tarantulas but I'm getting very addicted to the hobby. My first T was sub-adult G rosea NCF who I have had for 18 months now. I recently bought 5 tiny B smithi slings. I'm planning to get a few more New World species in the future. My boyfriend and I are going to attend the BTS show for the first time on Sunday, we can't wait

[Yvonne Woolley]

Welcome Jennifer, Have a great day on Sunday as I know you will I am sure you will adding to your collection.
