Can't believe i've been fascinated by inverts all my life [at least the bits I remember] and the sibling who used to kill them and runaway screaming has her very own beautiful thing.

As i've said if you ever find you still feel wary around Wanda i'll be more than happy to bring the little monster up north with me next time I go down and visit :P

i think not deary :P she is mine forever

I used to have 4 T's a few years ago. I had a few years break , then got another one last october. I got 12 now, 1 sling coming next week, 2 adults on hold pending RSPCA investigation, 6 more slings in a few weeks and another exhibition on june 8th where I'm sure I wont leave empty handed.

When does it stop????

My first spider is a Grammostola rosea i came about getting it when i called in to a shop where the owner is a friend.

As i had a fear of spiders i began with a molt then went on to the Rosie who i held for the first time ever and i fell in love with her and had to have her and now i do.

Since i got her in Nov 07 between me and my daughter who is also an ex-arachnophobe we have 27 Tarantulas between us consisting of 8 species docile-aggressive and planning on more in the future.
