Getting back into the hobby.

[J.huff23]

Well I got rid of almost my entire collection a while back because my job had me working some wacked out hours and I had classes on top of that. But Im getting another job soon and that will give me so much more free time, so Im getting back into the hobby.I still have a huge female G.rosea from my original collection. I've decided to just to T's this time. No snakes, lizards, or scorpions.

Im meeting with a local keeper on saturday who wants to get rid of some stuff and Im going to shoot him an offer on a few things. Hopefully within a few months I can get my nmbers back up again. I miss my babies and I wish I didnt have to sell them. But oh well, it's time to start over with some new babies!

Welcome back.

I myself am just now returning to the hobby, too. You going to hit up the reptile show on Sunday to see what tarantulas they have?

[J.huff23]

Where is the reptile show at? I use to go to one in Mars, pa. But they shut down I've heard.

Yea, under a year but it seems like it's been 3 years. I miss it way too much!

Welcome back! I did the same thing myself, left and came back.

I'd consider adding the Euthalus sp. red to that list. It's probably going to be my next T.

[J.huff23]

0.1.0 Aphonopelma hentzi

Welcome back! Man, I can't even imagine having to say goodbye to my collection. I even hung onto 19 spiderlings from a 50/50 loan and my cricket colony still has a high death rate of old age. X-D

Keep us up to date on your new additions and most importantly... PICTURES!!

I believe he is referring to the steel city reptile expo, its at the washington county fairgrounds.

I had a female E.pachypus. Pretty calm for an OW T. Unfortunately I know they don't have a great track record of thriving in captivity.
