[Blackwidow69]

Hi, im new here and was wondering how many of you have T's and how many and what kinds?? Also whats your fav T.. I use to have 59 at one time and then sold some to fund another project.. Now i have just my personal favs. and long time pets down to 12 T's.. I have giant white knees, green bottle blue, texas tan, mexican red knee, Usambara, curly hair, Brazilian salmon pink Indian ornamental and one thats supose to be a Brazilian fire red but i think its something else.. I have been working with tarantulas since i was little and befour there ever was any C.I.T.E.S when mexican red knees was really mexican red legs and you could pick them up for a meer $15.00 bucks. I have had many other types and have breed a few. I had some really intresting goliaths that i will tell you about later.. Are T's addicting YOU BET THEY ARE.. Gota love em.. hehehehehehe!!!

Hi,

I presently only have 2 tarantulas, a mexican red knee and a cobalt blue, both lovely ladies You can see pictures of them and their set-ups either in some of the recent threads in this forum or by checking out my gallery (just click on the little camera next to my name).

I am definitely planning on getting some more in the future! Just waiting on some 10 gal tanks to free up and I'll be sure to get myself a b. boehmi and a few more! Just hard on choosing which one I want next sometimes!!!

Would love to see some pics of your T's and other animals

I only keep one mere g. rosea these days, cutie that she is. I've always kept rose hairs since I was a child. I love to visit my friend's office, she works for www.tarantulas.com and they have a HUGE and AMAZING collection!!! :jawdrop:

I also have an emporer scorpion and 2 hisser cockroaches and 2 lobster cockroaches. I also HAD an Australian Giant Walking Stick, she just died of old age but I have hundreds of eggs to remember her by!! Hopefully I will have babies soon.

I only have 2 Ts, a pink toe and suntiger.
But, you see, I'm afraid of spiders. This is my way to get over the fear.
I've owned the pink toe for a while and just rescued the baby suntiger.
They are such beautiful creatures.

2 T. Blondi (the big bad *** of the spider world)
1 H. gigas (an adventure every time the lid is open... mean little biatch)
1 P. terror (aka Usambara baboon... needs anger management therapy)
1 M. Velvetosoma (very rare now)
1 A. Moderatum (my favorite blonde)
1 B. Anitha (spunky for a spiderling)
1 H. Minax (the only spiderling to ever challenge me to a fight)

1 G. Aureostriata (my biggest sweetheart... I can hand feed her)
