Hi everyone. Thought it would be great to introduce myself before I start commenting on anything else.

My name is Mike, And I'm from England (My avatar is not me by the way. haha). Kris (Shakou) gave me the heads to this forum on another forum because of the quite frankly, epic reports for the M.Balfouri.

I have only been keeping tarantula's for around 3 years from the age of 16, but within the last year I have become more interested in the old-world burrowing species. Unfortunately due to medical and money issues, I have only currently got 3 X M.balfouri, 1 X P.Chordatus and 2 X P.Murinus.

Anyone is welcome to send me message whenever. And I look forward to using the forum. :woohoo:

Welcome to our forum Mike, i hope you learn a lot from us and also provide some good information.

Enjoy your stay.
Dimitri

Welcome Empirecook,

Glad you have joined the site, always nice to have some members from the distanced shores around.
Keep an eye on Scarab Threads, as he is always talking about the "Blue spider" an updating he's finds. :laugh:

Welcome again.

Alright mate, is that your old school photograph on your profile? It looks like my brother haha..... Hey you Guuuyyys!

:lol:

Many thanks for the welcoming messages.

Cascade - Thank you for the heads up for scarabs Balfouri threads, And to be honest when I was linked a couple of them, I thought it would be rude to leave this forum un-noticed, and It seems like everyone loves old worlds - which Is a bonus. :woohoo: (Most people here frown upon burrowers as "pet holes")

Kris - Haha! Captain sloth is amazing. Throughout my childhood, I always wanted to be Chunk and give sloth some chocolate. I believe I have said it before to you. But thanks for linking me to this thread bro.
