Nice tarantulas you have there Roy! I have or have had those species aswell. I have about 70 tarantulas at the moment with some offspring coming up

Welcome to the forum!
You like tarantulas? Awsome! I'm Mikhaila! I'm 8 years old. I'm planning on getting a tarantula soon. Are they easy to keep? What kind should I get?

hay marieke!!!!
welcome here i know you from other dutch fora ;-)

my Thamnophis Sirtalis Tetrataenia's has baby's now,so next week they have to come out,what kind of specie are you search for?

bye bye Kuno

Hey Mikhaila! Nice to meet you!

Some tarantulas are quite hard to keep, but the ones that are suitable for first-time tarantula owners are quite easy. I recommend a Chacoan Golden Kneed tarantula to start with, they have a very mellow temperament, are very hardy and also very pretty! The scientific name is Grammostola aureostriata.

Kuno, I'm not sure yet to be honest. I'm the kind of person who knows what she wants when she sees it in real life. And I've never seen any species of garter snake in real life

I would love something like this, is this the regular s. sirtalis?

Although I'm "into" British and European spiders, I've only kept a Tarantula once. I had a Trinidad Chevron (forgot the latin name now). It was a beast! Scared my half to death! Never again!!

Eightlegged · 03-22-2007, 05:54 PM

Psalmopoeus cambridgei would be Trinidad Chevron. Not the best species to start with, lol! I have them too, they're great but so fast, defensive and pretty venomous aswell! I think you'd be more into them if you'd had a docile species

adamanteus · 03-22-2007, 06:02 PM

Yes, it was pretty fast! I never knew that the venom was also an issue though

. I think maybe you're right, I should have started with a Red-Knee or something more placcid! Tarantulas aren't really my thing, although they are doubtless fascinating, I'll stick to British and European species! I have a friend who keeps many Tarantula species, maybe as many as you, I'm not sure. His home is full of them!

Welcome to the forum. I'm Mikhaila's mom - already known as the snake lady, soon to be spider lady as well . . .
I'll have to grill you for info before the Expo.

Are red knees also easy to keep?
