How many T's do you have?

[Professor T]

How many T's do you have in your collection?

[MrFeexit]

well I have 7 with 8 more that I am WAITING for!!

[Sean]

11

[arachnopunks]

The answer to this, life, the universe and everything is ......



42


-Jill

[Satanika]

We have around 90 T's ...... for now. Not including centipedes and scorpions. ;)


Debby & Scott

[MizM]

Cool poll, interesting results!

[nemesis6sic6]

To think I'm one of the eight that keep 25-36 Ts

Hmm.....That will soon change thrust me ;)


any ways have a nice day


geo

[L_mactans]

I have my 29 "girls", and feeling a NEED to even numbers out.

Kelly (L_mac)

[mebebraz]

68 right now, trying to thin it out though

[Spiderguided]

I have 13; my lucky number.
Lori

[petitegreeneyes]

At the moment 91 T's, I lost two a few weeks ago. Also have 13 pedes, 3 scorpions, 1 tailless whipscorpion, 1 black & white tegu, 1 iguana, 1 plated lizard, and 3 leopard geckos. I believe that is everyone for now until I get my A.genic slings. And it's a hand full plus 3 little girls so between them all I am kept hopping!:D

[skinheaddave]

Are we counting captive bred s'lings?

Cheers,
Dave

[OB-1]

just got my second T a week or so ago. but that number will change soon enough. muhahahaha..

[Dafne]

I have only 18 T's ;) For now... =D

I think we should, after all, you spend HOURS AND HOURS AND HOURS feeding them!:D

er, i think i'm keeping 26 now...but some are lam's. he won't want them back, though. i'm sure of it!

[rosehaired1979]

19 but adding more next week

[MORBIUS]

I have 20 as of today, But tomorrow is another day!!!!!


MORBIUS







=D =D

[sojkas]

17 and probably no more for about one year - too small flat for more,and my God if only neighbours knew :p

[The Red Queen]

I only have 17 tarantulas now, but I have had as many as 95... no room to keep them all. Plus scorpions and other inverts.

[atavuss]

I honestly do not know how many t's I have as the number varies depending upon how many lings I have on hand, adult males coming and going on breeding loans, etc. if I had to guess it would be around 75 to 80.
Ed

[Professor T]

Apparently Ts are like Lays potato chips, its hard to stop at just one. Over half the collectors that answered the poll so far have 25 or more Ts. I wonder if the people that collect Ts have personalities that are prone to quantity collections, or if the tarantulas themselves are addicting in nature.

I had only one T for over a decade, visited this forum, and now I have three Ts. This forum does have an addicting element to it!

I admit its easier to add Ts than it is other animals. I spend less than 5 minutes a day caring for my 3 T's husbandry.

I bet some of your collections take a significant amount of time in upkeep. How much time do you spend on cleaning, feeding, watering, and general upkeep each day???

[belewfripp]

It takes approximately 3 hours per week to take care of mine, 2 hours for the adults, half an hour for my slings, all of which is on one day, and then assorted cleaning/prey remains pickup totalling about half an hour throughout the week.

Adrian

[Inuleki]

twice a week, about 5 minutes on the adult/juv and about 10-15 min on all my slings...

not too hard considering all the time i have to spend on my accursed cats

not really, i love my kitties lots, but they're a major pain in the ___ sometimes

-Joshua

[manville]

I have 10 right now..hmmm...getting more in a couple of weeks..hahaha..

[Pajak]

[i]... This forum does have an addicting element to it!
...[/B]
Indeed. Here I'm new, but I'm addicted to one Ts forum (no link - no reason, it is not in English).

Now, I'm starting my addiction with this one!

At this moment: 13 birdspiders. It is hard to stop...
I started with 3 - my girlfriend gave me permission
only for one - now she sees it is impossible to me to stop. But I am not going to have more than tets say - 20-30; no time to keep (feed) more.
Rgrds

[vulpina]

30.....for now!


Andy

[webspinner]

I have 50 T's at the moment.

[Snakeboy]

I have one (voted wrong category). It's my baby! I'm looking into getting a few more slings, and I'm going to try and breed something for the first time. All those Avic. pics just made me get the urge to breed (2 T's) really bad!
Dan

[MizM]

With 50 of them, it takes us about 3 hours a week to feed clean, etc. But feeding time is my time to handle those that I can, talk to them, etc. It's my relaxing activity! There are about 14 or 15 slings at any given time, and they take about 30 minutes. It's a labor of love!

You talk to your spiders?? I thought that I am the only one...
I even talked to my fish (now I haven't fish). Rgrds

[MizM]

Yes I do! And I bet you and I aren't the ONLY ones on this board who talk to their Ts!=D

My g. rosea, sitting on her eggsack, "tenses up" when I open her enclosure to check humidity. When I talk to her, she "relaxes" and lays back down on the sac.

With some of the others, if I open an enclosure to feed and don't speak, they'll jump when I toss in the cricket. But if I speak to them first, they seem to expect that I'll be tossing something in or picking them up.

I'm in no way suggesting that they "hear" me, or that they "know" me!! But, our voices each have an individual tone and rhythym and I DO think they become accustomed to that after a certain amount of time.

[RazorRipley]

Im sort of new to the tarantula hobby (if you consider a year and a half new) and I was wondering just how extreme some of you people get with it.... So my questions is, How many Ts in YOUR collection? And if you care to elaborate, which is your favorite one?

[The Red Queen]

At the moment I have 21 tarantulas and 2 scorpions. I also have an eggsac of A. avicularia still with mommy:)

My pressent favorite (for the moment) would have to be my Cyriocosmus elegans... he's a VERY little spider who thinks he's big enough to eat a dog! :D

[G_Wright]

I have over 64 last time I counted. My favourite sp is probably Chromatopelma cyaneopubescens I have 5 of them and i'm hopeing to breed them I've allready been offerd a few males. :D I also have 3 black emp scorpions.

http://home.freeuk.com/xclent/images/greenbottlebluegalleryimages/greenbottleblue10.jpg

[RazorRipley]

the other day I found an eggsac of A. avics in my social terrarium, which the mother refuses to let go of.... I never realized how popular avic eggsacs were among collectors until I had one of my own. I also have a Costa Rican Pygmy sac in a homemade incubator, but Im sure Ill find a way to mess that up.

[RazorRipley]

Im the same way about GBBs, I have 4 of them myself. If I like a species enough Ill often have several. currently Im keeping 108 Ts (only 49 different species). I also have 11 scorps, all different kinds, and 2 centipedes.

[Scorpiove]

I have limited my personal pets to 4. 3 Tarantulas and 1 Emperor Scorpion. The 3 Tarantulas are 1 Rose Hair named Hagrid, One Curly Hair named Stalin who molted yesterday, and one Usambara named Ganondorf who molted 3 days ago. The Emp scorpions name is Hitler. :P I don't have a personal favorite. I love all of them:P

[RazorRipley]

Awesome names... Rock on with that! I named my first 50 or so pets, but ran out of ideas. :-(

[rosehaired1979]

My husband and I collection comes to 34 Ts :) Plus adding a few next weekend as well. My husband has 4 scorps.

[LPacker79]

69 with 3 more coming soon. Also received 7 scorps yesterday. My favorite is my Tapinauchenius plumipes.

[rosehaired1979]

Oh yeah forgot to add my fav. it has to be the Grammostola aureostriata :) My husbands is any kind of Pokie lol

[h11te]

I have 60 tarantulas as sun i get my last order (in 2 days). The favorite is my sub adult female Brachypelma boehmei.

[cichlidsman]

i have 3 but had 4(died).in a week or so i will have 1 or 2 more. now i have a rosey,zebra and a cobult blue(my fav,). the one that died was a baby rosey. the 2 that i am getting is a baby rosey(1") and a 1-2" birdeater(theraphosa blondi), i hope anyway.

[Vys]

Currently 8 (I think, haven't seen my C.huahini sling in a while). Two more coming soon, one of them will be my first poec, the other one an adult female A.bicoloratum (who I hope will not bury herself first thing and stay down forever).

[Mendi]

Next week I hope to (barring natural disaster) get an Avic.avic


I'd like to have a larger collection one of these days, however I'm in an apartment, and I share it with 4 people, so a large spider collection is probably right out....

[MizM]

47... subject to change at any given moment.
4 or 5 breeding projects.
AND, I just ordered 10 more Kritter Keepers from the petstore.... now, WHAT shall I buy? :D

[David_F]

Right now I've got 19 Ts and one Brown Recluse. I think my favorites are my A. versicolor slings. But the P. murinus is a close second.

[da_illest]

i have/had 40+ t's with 4 breeding projects on the go... too lazy to name them all though..

[ShaunHolder]

I started into this hobby through scorpions. I first bought an Emperaor, then found some wild caught scorpions in the mountains of Phoenix, AZ. I recently purchased my Tarantula and fell in love them. I plan on buying more soon, but still deciding on whats best for me.

4 Scorpions
1 Centruroides exilicauda
2 Vaejovis spinigeris
1 Pandinus imperator

1 Tarantula
1 G.Rosea

[GoTerps]

Right now I'm at 103 T's of 64 species.

[vulpina]

I have 41 different species in my cares right now, but will be adding a few more soon.

Andy

[leo3375]

I just have a G. rosea at the moment. I'm looking into getting an A. seemani next.

[RazorRipley]

Hey Dianne, how about letting me get one of those Chaco golden knees huh?

[Ker]

Im very much a newbie. I had a T that I inherited from my brothers wife about three yrs ago, but I just ended up taking care of her for a few months. The beginning of the addiction I guess. I bought the first of my own back in April of 2000, and now Im up to 12 with five more expected in the mail this week!!

g. aureostriata, several rose hairs, cobalt blue, goliath pinkfoot, metallic pinktoe, a versicolor, and avic avic, a red knee, a red leg, pink zebra beauty, and a geniculta...

[spyderguy1983]

I only have 19 but am planning on expanding soon. My fav would have to be my B. Smithi

[DnKslr]

Hmmm, my favorite huh?

Ummmm...., well....,
I'd have to say my favorite would be my female B smithi.
B smithi because she the second T I aquired and I had to save up just to get her. At the time I was really hurting financially so I made it my goal to save enough to buy a B smithi. It took me a few months but I finally got the money and then I found the perfect T after searching several pet stores. Working so hard to get something like that and then finding out its a female just makes it all the sweeter!

[The Juice]

I have six right now, about 4 months ago I had about 12. I got rid of all my petholes except 1 my skeleton, and she comes out to see me almost every night. I have 3 favorites GBB, Skeleton, and my Haitian Brown.

[pelo]

The most I had was appr. 150 spiders of appr. 60 different species.Since then I've thinned out and have around 60 spiders of 23 different species which most are young/subadult females or mature females waiting on mature/maturing males for breeding projects..........

[Ssspidermom]

I'd be getting so MANY!!!!
Avic. versicolor
Avic. Huriana
T. gigas
C. fasciatum (2)
P. regalis
Ps. irminia
Ps. cambridgei
A. seemani
P. lugardi
P. murinus (OBT)

N. coloratovillosus
AND - coming in the mail on the 18th of this month -

26 and counting...should be getting a couple more this weekend. I'd list them all out, but I'm too wiped.
It's funny...they made me take a year of Latin in school, and I swore that was the last of it I'd ever see again. So what do I do? Get into a hobby where I'm saying or spelling it 30 or 40 times a day {D

[DE3]

....60+. And I really need to trim down the lot, due to space limitations. I'll come up with a list.

[Mendi]

With the new additions coming, the swapping and trading, I don't quite know right now... Guessing around 80some, but it has been as high as 120 and down to 60. I do have 30 resident females that only gets bigger in number, as they build up, and I'm pretty possesive over them. With raising slings I'm normally getting 3 males to every female, so you can understand why I'm keeping them, or most all of them

If you want to see what they are, check the 1st page of the Sticky in the Watering Hole :)

selenocosmia, selenotypus, and phlogiellus spp..

[Citharischius]

Hi !

I've got 14 Spiders.
Here they are :
-Citharischius Crawshayi adult female
-Pterinochilus murinus RCF adult female
-Poecilotheria Regalis adult female
-Haplopelma lividum juvenile/sub adult
-Haplopelma albostriatum juvenile/sub adult
-Harpactira sp. sub adult
-Chilobrachys huahini sub adult (she's quite big tough)
-Ceratogyrus Bechuanicus juvenile ( she's just molted yesterday)
-Psalmopoeus Cambridgei juvenile
-Stromatopelma Calceata spiderling (quite big , she's 2 á 3 cm already)
-Holothele incei spiderling (2 month's old)
-Selenocosmia peerboomi (2 month's old)
-and 2x grammostola pulchra juvenile . (I bought them last year in January and they were really small , like 1 cm or so, now they're 4 cm :)But really I dont think they're beautiful , but just cute cause I raised them )

My favorite spider must be my Chilobrachys huahini , but that's because she was my very first spider . I bought her one year ago . But I wanted more spiders .
My citharischius crawshayi adult female and my P.regalis adult female are 2 of my favorites too ! :o

[L_mactans]

42 Ts, of about 34 different species and one trapdoor spider... and hoping that this number has sated the addiction. It better have sated the addiction, b/c they have their own bedroom... and its FULL :eek:

Kelly (L_mac)

[Jeff_C]

I have so lost track! I guess that means it's time to stop :rolleyes: well at least until I get them all cataloged.

Let's just say somewhere north of 70 (not counting losses) in the 18 months that we've been collecting.

Jeff


BTW, I hope you are all updating the sticky in the Watering Hole

[K MUELLER]

:} I stopped counting at 40, I think it is a ty between my king baboon and my b. bohemi ,who am I kidding I keep finding a new favorite all the time, I really need to go to AA arachnolics anonomous!!! Later-Karl

This is a mix of adults slings and juvs! I will most likely cut back on this lot though and just keep 20 or so!.....Then again I might not it can be hard to decied what to keep if you´ve raised most from spiderlings :?

[kosh]

i currently have 13.....
2 adult G. rosea (1 male and 1 female)
1 subadult B. albopilosum
1 C. cyaneopubescens (GBB)
1 A. versicolor
1 P. murinus (OBT)
2 L. cristata
5 G. rosea slings

i hope to get rid of about 4 of the G. rosea slings as they are from the sack i bred and i just wanted to keep them for the heck of it.....but they are growing too slow and i dont really want 7 Rosehairs so I will find homes for some of the slings....

[Ker]

My collection seems to be growing by leaps and bounds.. I have a t addiction that is not helped by the for sale section of this forum at all !! After selling a few, trading a few, and what not, I am currently at this :

g. aureostriata- 1 a. male, 1 a. female
a.avicularia- 1 s/a female
h. lividum- 1 a. female
t. apophysis- 1 u/s juvenile
l. cristata- 1 u/s juvenile
p.pederseni- 3 u/s juveniles
p. rufilata- 2 u/s juveniles
b boehmie- 1 sling
g. rosea- 1 u/s subadult, and 1 sling
p. nigricolor- 1 sling

I cant even begin to list what is "on order", as I am not sure I can remember them all at this time !!

[sojkas]

Have currently 27, but waiting for next 10 :D I wanted 8, but couldn't refuse 2 free slings of B. emilia :}

I'll try to write all of them w/o walkng to check it :

[Channel Xero]

not a lot... and Im not going to tell you how many cuz you woll make fun of me! :rolleyes: but I will say, less than 10

[Hogge2k]

7 at the moment. My appartment is really smal and I refuse to give my pets more space than myself :?

1 Lasiodora Parahybana
3 Theraphosa Blondi
1 Grammostola Rosea
1 Pterinochilus murinus usambara
1 Avicularia Metallica

[Tescos]

not a lot... and Im not going to tell you how many cuz you woll make fun of me! :rolleyes: but I will say, less than 10

If you have hundreds or just one it makes no odds to most people. Just because many people have lots it doesn´t make them anymore clever and the same goes for the owning of the more rarer spp.
I know some really knowledgable people who have only a few tarantulas in their collection ,and I dont think of them any different. People keep and collect tarantulas for many different reasons,all off which are important to the owner.
For me one of the reasons I have so many is because I was able to get most of them quite cheap as spiderlings and I injoy the challange of trying to raise them to adulthood.
If anyone did make fun of you for owning only a couple of tarantulas, then
that person would at the end of the day be showing what a prat he or she is. ;P

[Tarangela]

Right now we have about 35 give or take a few. I love them all to death!!! I have 4 rose hairs, and have had them since 99 :) The rest is a mix of avics, pokes, haplopelma, brachys, etc. I have nature's jewlery everywhere :)

And I spend a LOT of time with them.

As far as a favorite, I have so many to chose from, but a heart-touching one is Paw-paw (like grandpa). lol He has always been VERY well behaved, and always minds his manners! He did very well in a spider presentation at a local middle school last month :) I took him, a pinktoe, redknee, and my chaco golden knee. Anyway, he has more than lived his life, and I can't believe he is still alive, since his ultimate molt was on 01/01/01!!

He is always readily available to hold! W/ no fussing!

:D

[Mattyb]

I have 6 T's and a Snake.....if i wouldn't have spent over $300 on my snake and $120 on my T.Blondi then i'd prolly have more. My fav. T is my T.Blondi just cause she is so big, and it is so awesome watching her take down a full grown mouse, or any living thing i put in there.....even my hand... :8o

[Sheri]

Let's figure out what the average is.

[Immortal_sin]

approx 150-175...haven't counted lately :D

[Didymus]

Two spiderlings.

[Sheri]

Wait! I was doing the poll!

[Megalodon]

1 yaay...for now anyways..

[Bearskin10]

100 plus for me. Greg

[manville]

I have 15!!!! yay!!!! lol

[Lopez]

approx 150-175...haven't counted lately :D
Pretty much the same here.

[Stealth Taco]

Just 1 for me, although I have 2 more coming in the mail! YAY!

[leo3375]

I only have 2… for now. I might get a third one in a few months.

[LPacker79]

Somewhere between 70 and 74. I need to do an accurate inventory again.

[Lucifer]

That doesn't include hundreds of slings right now.

[Jakob]

Around 135 or so...and hundreds of spiderlings

[bodc21]

42 for me.

[chuck]

just got numbers 11 and 12 today.
got my 2nd purpurea and a Hercules Baboon at the expo in ny.

[David Burns]

Over 50 but I'm including slings.

[Bothrops]

About 20-25

[WayneT]

31 and counting...

[protheus]

Let's figure out what the average is.

So are we looking for just tarantulas, spiders in general, or arachnids, or invertebrates, or pets...? ;)

Chris

[Sheri]

So are we looking for just tarantulas, spiders in general, or arachnids, or invertebrates, or pets...? ;)

Chris

I think we are limiting it to tarantulas, since it is in the tarantula forum :)

[protheus]

I think we are limiting it to tarantulas, since it is in the tarantula forum :)

Ok, then does the wolf spider from Taranto count? ;) Just being picky. ;P

Chris

[Scylla]

2 new A. purpurea today makes 20. I can't believe it. When I started I only wanted ONE!!! (I was never good at math)

Next up, a pair of G. pulchra! {D

[TheEternal]

16, currently. Then again, I try to keep the numbers low.

-Bryan

[armstrong82]

i have eight at the moment and hope to have many more in the future

[Mattyb]

8 Ts for me...

[Satanika]

approx 150-175...haven't counted lately :D

Ditto here as well. :)


Debby & Scott

[Big Dragonfly]

I'm down to 4: A. minatrix, A. versicolor, B. emelia, and P. cambridgei. If I could get E. cyanognathus, I think that my collection would be complete. I'd maybe consider B. auratum.

Jon

[Philth]

as of today, 83 species, not includinging several hundread slings from breeding projects. :cool:

[Sasa]

approx 55 (34 species), more coming soon.

:eek: OMG Do I really have so many T´s

[SCtarantulas]

......I have 1 :(
well so far :rolleyes:

[spider]

If all goes well, I will be getting about 20 after I come home from vacation in Arkansas. And then after these breeding loans, if I`m lucky with them, I won`t even count how many I`ll have!


The Genic or "brocklehursti" is being bred with a couple of different females. Or if it turns out to be a Brockle it will be switched out with kelly, getting me a geniculata. Then that`ll be bred with Jay`s female and a couple of his pals females.

I also sent two males to Kelly Girl, but I`ll have to ask Micheal Jacobi about them. She sold the females to him and I`ll still be getting the slings, If any.

Yep, A lot of spiders will be heading my way... :D

BTW, Thank you both, Jay and Kelly Girl! :)

[Zibi]

Just 8 :) But so far so good, i'm going to buy more.

[Tarantula Lover]

I have 13 amazing t's!


James

[RazorRipley]

around 150/160

[Lopez]

I overestimated!
It's 125 at the moment. :)

[Big Dragonfly]

Since I have thinned my collection down, I feel like I actually have more of an interes in the actual spiders that I have, rather than an overall general interest in spiders.

Jon

[Chris R]

I just started this year and boy does it get out of control!
Currently I have,

3 - E. murinus
1 - B. rudloffi
6 - L. parahybanas

Soon to arrive 4 more B. rudloffi and 1 P. pulchra!

[Inkognito2k]

Hi,
I counted my spiders and i´ve 76 T´s..

My T´s (http://www.vogelspinne-ev.de/besli/show.php?user=34)

Gr€€tz Sven

Edit:
I forgot..
I´ve 2.0 elephe guattata guattata <-- it´s the old name i know :D
1.1 Physognathus cocincinus
1.1 Pogona vitticeps

[leo3375]

To update my last post in here, about three weeks ago I added a G. pulchra to my collection, bringing it up to 2 Ts. I'm looking into getting an A. versicolor in about three months.

[mouse]

i have 10 now
i bought a rosie in january, then in july a A.avic., then i got 8 slings from swift
(B.smithi, L.parahybana, G.aureostrata, A.seemanni, A.geniculata, H.masulata, E.campustratus, P.cambridgei)
i want more, but got to save up the money and find room for them

i also have 3 baby bearded dragons
fishtank - 3 guppies, aquadic crab, 3 ghostsrimp, molly, black moor, fantail goldfish, pleco, crawdad,

[Orchidspider]

I have only gotten into t's over the past year, after working with the program director's G.(now Phrixotricus) spathulata, and getting over my fear of it. Then after reading Marshal's book Tarantuals and other Arachnids, I got interested. In all of my other hobbies- there are local and national clubs - such as the North Carolina Piedmont orchid society, the American Orchid society (has 27,000 + members) and the Bonsai society of the Caronlinas. But there is no arachnid group, and am glad Joe at Carolina Specialty Pets got me on to you all. Hope I can be of help to you all, and vise versa.

My spelling might not be perfect so be patent.Currently, my hall closet is full, and it houses the following(all have names, because my campers I work with, like things to be named, and having taught hs world history, the greek and roman names were to much to resist- yet there are exceptions- see D'Aulaire's Book of Greek Myths for more info)
G. pulchra- f, "Artemis" 2 f G. aureostrata"Demeter" "Ceres", G. spathulata-f "Persephonie", B. smithi-f "Hestia"- raised from sling. B. boemi "Vulcana" Haplopelma minax -f "Juno", H. lividum-f "Aphrodite", H. schmiditi larger sling eating small crickets "Gia", Hysterocates gigas -f "Diana", Lasodoridies cristata -f "Minerva", L. striatus -f "Atropos", Lasodora parahybana -f "Bambi" - the tempation to name a huge hairy spider after something cute was just too great, Nhandu caropensis -f "Vesta", Psalmopeous irmina -f "Hekate", Mombassa starburst tarantula -f "Leto", Poecilotheria regalis- f "Eris", Ehpebopus murinus- f "Nyx", Phormictopus cancerides-f "Athena", Theraposa blondi -f "Shelob" and T. apophysis -f "Thumper"
Widows- Northern (L. variolus- I caught her this summer, and she is one of the most vividly marked spider in red I have seen) "Agrippina", Southern- f "Dido"
Scorps: Emperor-M. "Claudius", African Flat Rock M-"Zeus", Arizona Hairy -F "Livia", Androdectus amoreuxi -M "Bachus", Parabuthus liosoma- M(black tipped fat tail) "Aries" and finally, P. mossambicensis -M "Mars"

I think that, including my four spotted Roach colony that I am hopping to see producing by November, and my pair of yellow Bull Snakes, a dwarf cichild tank, 135 tropical orchid plants and some tropical foliage and tropical carnivorous pitcher plant vines, and about 20 trees Im working into Bonsai, living on my apartment porch, are enough to keep me buisy for now!

If anyone has any questions as to how Im maintaining any one of the arachnids please ask. I have been keeping orchids since I was 14, and will be 32 in Sept- thus they are of primary concern, yet the new spiders give me much delight. Now only if I can successfully brumate my Bullsnakes so I'll have some nice high contrasting babies with nice yellow and orange backgrounds to trade and share with my snake loving friends....

Thanks, Alex

[pitbulllady]

I have only gotten into t's over the past year, after working with the program director's G.(now Phrixotricus) spathulata, and getting over my fear of it. Then after reading Marshal's book Tarantuals and other Arachnids, I got interested. In all of my other hobbies- there are local and national clubs - such as the North Carolina Piedmont orchid society, the American Orchid society (has 27,000 + members) and the Bonsai society of the Caronlinas. But there is no arachnid group, and am glad Joe at Carolina Specialty Pets got me on to you all. Hope I can be of help to you all, and vise versa.

I, too, have tropical plant interests, mainly in epiphytic cacti, especially
Rhipsalis . I also have a few Nepenthes pitcher plants, which are really cool, weird-looking plants! I have many snakes, but just one Bullsnake, my dear old "Bully"(not too original, I know), a seven-foot male Texas Bull whom I haven't been able to find a mate for. Everything I've seen offered is either some very expensive morph, or a small snake.

Oh, yeah, number of tarantulas-4 G. rosea , 1 G.pulchra , 1 G. aureostriata , 2 B.albopilosum , 1 B. smithi , 1 B. boehmei , 1 E. campestratus , 1 A. avicularia , 1 A. metallica , 1 A. hentzi , and one "Mystery" Aphonopelma . This is destined to change as I seem to be unable to control this uh, addiction!

As for arachnid groups, there IS a national organization, The American Tarantula Society. They have a website, http://www.atshq.org, if you are interested in checking them out.

I love Nepenthes pitchers and have 4 of them hanging above one of my orchid tables, under 3 low engery high output flourecent lights. The best book on carnivorous plants has to be Savage Garden, its avalible at Boarders, and is a fun read as well. Bog gardens for native Saracenia pitchers and hybrids are easy to set up, and in the Carolinas, can be grown all year round, including Venus fly traps , which are often killed because they dont get their winter dormancy period, and here in Charlotte, especially at UNC Charlotte, which has one of the finast navtive carnivor collections in the US- and does a bit of cool hybridising- fly traps are g rown in full sun and are out all year- heck their from costal carolina anyway. Nice bullsnake, I found my mature male this year on kingsnake.com. check out the breeders, or look forward to the herp shows comming up in your area. I have also found Nepenthes species offered on -where else0 Ebay, and have purchased some nice orchids on there as well, but have had good luck because I know the market and what Im buying. If you want orchid nurseries, check out www.orchidmall.com the plant listings for dealers close to you- but watch out- you think t's are addictive, once you bloom your first one on your own, youll find you have orchids everywhere. Orchid fever is very very very very hard to get rid of.

I was just wondering how many T's people own. I have had quite a few people say how "crazy" I am for owning close to 50 T's. I think I'm quite normal. So let's do this poll and see where we all stand.

Could you post or mail a pic of this spider?


If I can get her out.

[Lorgakor]

I have 19 right now.

[Tarantula]

"common spider">> Its most likley that your "paganus" is maybe a H. longipes or H. minax "Vietnam" as the real "paganus" is not in the hobby..

[Dorian]

Hallo,

Today I have 66 T's, but in 3 weeks I'm going to a Tarantula meeting, then they are getting more ;)

[Marcelo]

Counting Slings, I guess I have around 50 Ts

[FOX]

This poll is great, I have 10 T's, my 7 yr old has 14 T's & my other half has 3, 27 little critters in total. What i cant get my head round is the people on here with more than say 30 & some with 90+ where do you keep them all, I live in quite a big house but i am running out of space, we have 12 slings in small tubs in the laundry room but all the rest are in medium to large vivs in the lounge. I want some more T's (i say you can NEVER have too many T's) but its gonna be a tight squeeze.
So where do you all keep them?
Jay ;) x

[angelarachnid]

:clap: At present about 200 (not including eggsacs), but by the end of the month i will be down to around 150, by the ens of April around 50 and by the middle of May i will be

just one, A Purpurea s'ling. but i believe in quality over quantity, and.....:liar: okay, i have arachnophobic parents...:wall:. but i'm going to double my collection once the weather warms.

[tima]

Oops. I'm going to have to change my vote. I'm changing the # of Ts I have, from 17 to 23. :o They're coming on Tuesday!!! YAY!!!

[P. Novak]

alright well as of now i have 19 Ts, a couple have died and i sent one away for breeding awhile back, so 19 now... but going to be 21 on tuesday! =D thats not counting my other invertebrates.

[dirtborder4life]

Only 7 here,im getting more into pedes and scorps though.

[Ewok]

I have 18 right now and plan on drawing the line at 22 hehe, I realized I can't keep them all and don't want to get burnt out on the hobby, so I just choose specific ones that really interest me.

[P. Novak]

i will possibly stop collecting at 40-50 Ts

[MsDemeanor]

60 something :)

[SpiderZone2]

23 now and waiting for the results of an egg sac...............and the count even without the egg sac will always be growning. The addiction is just too strong to turn away from.

[SpiderZone2]

I know people who have thousands of all different kinds. They keep them in all kinds of containers. You just have to know your limitations and how to best store them. You can always add shelves to a closet..........But remember in stacking up containers, that you don't want to go too high so they become unstable. You wouldn't want them to fall over. Plus if you have smaller vials, you can stack them nicely in shoe boxes. Plus stack the shoe boxes on top of each other. Depends on how many you plan to get and how you plan to display or keep them together. Maybe decicating a room just for them.

[tima]

i will possibly stop collecting at 40-50 Ts

And I will possibly stop collecting at 8347 or so. :D I hadn't planned on surpassing 10 or 15...it didn't happen. I'll stop when I run out of one of the 3 vital resources -- time, space, or money. :wicked:
Sorry, Demonhunter...I'm not being critical...just poking a bit of fun. We all know we can't stop unless we're forced to!

[Zeus9699]

I have OVER 1000 tarantulas and no, I'm not exaggerating!

It sucks that I get to travel with work and go to reptile shows every weekend, cuz I always come home with something new (it's so hard to convey sarcasm when typing lol). I also have a bearded dragon, 4 leopard geckos, 2 crested geckos, 11 snakes, 2 scorpions, 2 fish tanks, 1 dart frog, and 3 cats.

Smithi sub female
A seemani adult female
G rosea adult fem

and yesterday aquired a juvenile Nhandu Collorativilosum about 2"

and i'm waiting on an euathlus and a p. cambridgei slings, an a freevie due to an order error, so that's 11 in under two months, and I hate odd numbers so i'm gonna make it an even 12 with a Salmon Pink juvie next month.

19 for now. Steve

[Kid Dragon]

This poll was started five years ago and is the first post brought back from the dead that actually makes sense not to start over...

unless you don't want to mix data from people's tarantula collecting habitats from five years ago with the numbers people are keeping today.

Five years ago I probably had less than a dozen, today I have 43.

[samsbugs]

I'm over 300 I think, with slings included due to a great breeding year I'm well over 2,000, maybe 3,000. That's not counting 3 sacks that just poped, and 6-8 that are due to pop. Actual sacks not pending sacks.

[johnharper]

Only 10 at the moment but there is alot that are on my wish list. I want to get more when I get a bigger place with more room.

One Rosehair and one Zebra. I like the Zebra more right now because he ate a cricket and is webbing up his hide and it's only his second day home! The Rosehair is still clinging to the side of the cage. [shrug]

I have over 400 and still collecting trying to knock off my wishlist 1 specimen at a time. I am waiting to try my hand at breeding for the first time on several brachypelma species just waiting for the males to mature.

With the way you do your setups Rob, I think that you will need a T house when your collection hits the 3 digit mark. ;)
