I know many are not as active or involved in tarantulas anymore,but for me I'm still as involved actually now so even more. Still the addiction takes over,so hope to add the rest of the ones I have to update the list fully.

Has no one told you of the tarantula enthusiast's lament?

"LIKE THOSE POTATO CHIPS, YOU CAN'T HAVE JUST ONE!"

But of course, YOU ALREADY KNEW THAT!

Can't help it,I have a weird mix of arboreal semi arboreal terrestrial even Fossorial. Every single day,every hour or minute I'm amazed by something new. If someone is bored with the hobby,I would dismiss it as the person never was interested in the first place.

Tarantulas in my opinion, and I'm emphasising mine is that they are one of the best put together predators for their size. Even though not having great sight,they have other things that fall into place to compensate. Their venom is now being utilised in pharmaceutical testing,how could one not just love this hobby ?

To use another example how simple things fascinate me,look at s.hoffmanni the only new world and only tarantula so far exhibiting a horn like the african tarantulas. I have wondered why only this specimen ? Why in South America ? Why not another old world say in Asia ? So many questions, not enough answers.

Wow. Now that is what you call a collection
