Hello everyone,

I've been in the hobby for about 18 months now, and have been making a gradual descent into the world of Asian species. Currently own Lampropelma, Cyriopagopus, Haplopelma, Chilobrachys, Selenocosmia and Poecilotheria, as well as a Psalmopoeus.

Look forward to speaking with you all. I already see a few familiar faces - hi to Phil and Lee

[Charlotte Gale]

Hi,
I'm relatively new to the hobby, got my first T on 24th May last year
Now the proud owner of SA B. smithi (suspected Immature male), Juvi C. cyaneopubescens, Adult E. sp "Red, Juvi/SA H. maculata, P. ornata, P. regalis, A. geniculata, Juvi B. albopilosum (also suspected male), B. emilia, E. murinus, P. murinus, and a MM P. pulcher
Looking forwards to Kempton, to get me some more Avic & Psalmo spp, and grab me some Nhandu's and Lasidora spp.
Charlotte.

I believe I missed this thread, my apologises.

I've now got a Brachy Verdezi and an Avic. I'm about to get a Salmon Pink this week. So far, loving the hobby!

[Michael Walsh]

Hi all ,

Im Mike , can see quite a few names I recognize I have keeping tarantulas for a number of years now and have decided to only keep Poecilotheria sp (well apart from a few P. muriuns) hope to meet more people in the hobby and expand my knowledge.

Thanks
Mike

[Leon de Jager]

Hi All
I am new to the hobby, having started about two months ago.
So if I ask seemingly dumb questions, please forgive me. I am part of a local forum ( tarantulas.co.za ) and everyone on there speaks highly of this site. So I had to join.

Since then I have gotten the following T's :
All unsexed slings

1 x Grammostola Pulchripes - Chaco Golden Knee
1 x Brachypelma albopilosum - Curly Hair
1 x Brachypelma boehmei - Mexican Fire Leg
2 x Brachypelma vagans - Mexican Red Rump
1 x Lasiodora klugi - Bahia scarlet
1 x Lasiodora parahybana - Brazilian Salmon Pink
1 x Acanthoscurria geniculata - Giant White-Knee
1 x Grammostola rosea RCF - Chilean Rose Red Colour Form

I hope to add a lot more, I just want to get these through "infancy", before I take on something a bit more challenging.
I hope to learn heaps more about these fascinating creatures.

[Guy Edwards]

Hi,
I have been keeping spiders on and off since my first male Chile Rose (Reg) at the age of 11. Currently infatuated with the lampropelma genus and have a blog journal about them please feel free to comment and read it's progress here.... http://uklampropelma.blogspot.co.uk/
I am keeping 5x L2 Lampropelma violaceopes at present, but roll on the BTS Convention.....I am sure that will increase.

All the best,
G
