Hi all
Hi all
I have collected Tarantulas for 15 years, in the summer of 1994 i took my children to london zoo, in the insect house they got out a Brachypelma smithi to show the public.
All the way home on the train my 10 year old son gave it the can i have one dad over and over again.
To my wifes horror i finally gave in and we bought him an adult Aphonopelma seemanni for his birthday and an adult Grammostola rosea ( cala at the time) for christmas.
After a few months he got into Ninja turtles and lost interest in the tarantulas and i took over thier maintenance. As you are all aware the bug takes over and i now own over 180 tarantulas, several Scorpions,
Millipedes and six colonies of Cockroaches. The rosea died last year well into her twenties, but my first tarantula "Maxie" the seemanni is still alive if a bit threadbear now
I run Invicta arachnid club of which i have been chairman for the last ten years, i spend most of my time running our IAC forum and editing the newsletter which is why it has taken so long for me join this community, although Matt Spooner our webmaster is a prolific contributer to the bts forum.
Now i have finished boring you if anyone wants a chat i look forward to talking to you.
