Default When will it stop?

The spider addiction has taken hold! I now have 9, soon to have 10 when I get my goliath. All in the space of 2months or so.
When you told me my first wont be my last, I thought id just get another one or two.
One day in the future I would like a pinktoe goliath and a normal pinktoe. plus a versicolour. hmmmm a red leg would be nice, and ive always liked the flame knee and bloodleg.
But one I defiantly must get is the greenbottle blue. Of course that is going to be in the nearer future than the others as I really want that one.
Are they really that colourful or is it just the lights from the camera etc the same as with colbolts?

How far has this addiction gone for you? Every morning first thing I do, is put my beardies lights on, let my cats in the room, and then check on the crestie and spids. Its a routine full of animals.

oh gawd.
Im not too sure about true species of spider. They still creep me out big time, so I think Ill just stick to T's.
Well I will make sure I get this goliath, and a greenbottle blue whenever one comes along at a good price. Then ill save the others for the future.
God damn those cheap cute slings just begging me to take them home!!
They had a couple of rose greys there last week, and I resisted. Doesnt mean I stopped thinking about them tho lol, but theyre gone now.

As long as you look after them properly, it doesn't matter how many you have. 3 is enough for me.....for now!

I got a GBB sling, and yes he is quite colourful. He's got a stripey bum at the moment but it seems to change every moult. It's the webbing I like, it's awesome!

I'm thinking of getting a salmon pink next, but I'll probably wait a bit.

Even when I'm late for work I still check the Ts and Snakes before I go.

I went to buy a GBB today, lovely looking T, true blue legs and orange abdomen. I very nearly bought it but I pondered whether to get this adult or a sling/juv. So he showed me a Cyclosternum fasciatum which I've wanted for a while and it was an instant hit with the family (and cheaper). Just finished housing her.

Ive got an order for 3 A. versicolors from HAMM which I may attempt a community set-up with. I've also enquired about a GBB sling so fingers crossed.
