Since I joined this forum I started noticing a pattern... as from friday night to monday morning very few people actively take part on this forum...

Either I dont have a life or people dont have a internet connection on weekends or dont have tapatalk...

Oh well...

I am a newbeeee to this site. And honestly, I feel a little out of my depth. I mean the photos are top quality and make mine look like pencil scetches, the knowlage base is incredible and most users have a LOT of t's. Almost embarresed to say I only have 2. But this forum is awesome and everybody is super friendly.

Hey Shaun

Welcome to the forum... we all started with one T... so dont feel out of place... my first T was a Nhandu chromatus that hooked out... he is currently in hartebeespoort dam looking for a date.

Introduce yourself and post your pics dude... this is an awesome group to be part of... and prepare yourself for tons of knowledge...

Thanks. Let's start with the knowlage part. What is "hooking out". Prob a stupid question. But like I said I am the new guy

Hooking out refers to the ultimate molt for males when they mature where they get hooks on their front legs (tibia if i am correct) for mating purposes. Not all genu gets hooks. Take for instance the pokies (poecilotheria), they dont hook out at all... mature males looks different from the females (sexual dismorphism)... hope it helps... what 2 T's do u have and where u from
