Northern Illinois Tarantula Enthusiasts?

gunslinger · Dec 16, 2009

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this but here goes.

Looking to meet other people in the Northern Illinois/S. Wisconsin region who are interested in Ts and other inverts. Knowing people in the same area is always nice as you can trade slings, collaborate on breeding projects, split shipping on large orders etc.

So who else is from the this region? Chicago? Rockford? Madison or Milwaukee?

I am from Dekalb IL myself.

There is a smallish group of us about an hour outside Chicago. We tried to get an invert club together and did have a few meetings but it just kind of fell apart.
Most of us still meet up occasionally at the Lee Watson all animal expo at the DuPage Co. fairgrounds.
You should let me know if you can make it sometime and we can get together and introduce you to some of the other locals.

Tarantula interest

I've recently become interested in keeping tarantula(s). I don't know exactly what I'm getting into but I have been reading alot (books and the web). I've owned reptiles in the past but I'm learning that with most animals what is good for one is not good for all. If anyone in the Northern Illinois area has anything to let me know I'd really appreciate it. Maybe a shop/dealer in the area that is knowledgeable on the topc as well?

Thanks,
Jake
