Hello, everyone...
I can remember feeling at one point, like there was no way I could possibly ever own and or take care of a Tarantula. It seemed to be something that only certain people were allowed to do and capable of doing, and I guess I figured I just lacked the gene that would allow me to own T's and take care of them properly. Now, I own three T's and am about to get my fourth in a little under five days or so at the Reptile show, and with all that I have learned, studied and been told, I still feel like such a novice and I guess I was curious as to if anyone could tell me, will the uncertainties and the nervousness pass with experience? I think I've been doing far better working with T's than I ever expected myself to, but as I said before, I'm still very compulsive about alot of things, and very nervous and uncertain. Not too sure what the point of this thread was, but I figured I'd like to say something so why not? I am a person who is very easily discouraged, spooked, and bored...and there may come a time where my passion for Tarantulas and spiders goes away but for now, its an addiction that feels good, very good and it has honestly given me alot of hope and push to do more with my life, I've even considered the impossible-task of going to college and becoming an Arachnologist, not bad for a high school drop-out 'eh? I can dream I guess.
Thanks, everyone...-Mr.Arachnid
