Hi all ... Still very new to the hobby was created by Uncle Charlie

Good Afternoon all

My name is Francois and in September 2011 I got my first tarantula namely a Nhandu Chromatus. I figured that this was the only way to see if the hobby was for me or not. It is now 7 months later and i can proudly say that my collection has grown to 6 amazing tarantulas. There is still tons of stuff that i need to learn so that i can enjoy the hobby even more, but i am sure through time i will and this forum is already helping a lot.

So far in my collection (in order of getting them)
1. Nhandu Chromatus
2. Haplopelma Lividum
3. Brachypelma Boehmei
4. Nhandu Coloratovillosus
5. Psalmopoeus Cambridgei
6. Poecilotheria Regalis (which i got 09 March 2012, very excited about this beauty)

I am sure with time the names will get easier because at this moment i am struggling a lot with the scientific names.

Thank you in advance for this wonderful forum.

No stress

Scientific names are definitely something worth learning, even if over the long run, it just avoids a lot of stress and confusion among certain species.
