tarantula keepers??

just wondering if there’s anyone else on here who is also into the tarantula hobby! 

growing up i had an intense arachnophobia that was fueled by my spider hating mother but i began studying true spiders and tarantulas in my freshman year of high school and have adored them ever since! 

i began my keeper journey last august and now own 5 different tarantula species, 2 regal jumping spiders, and a beautiful dancing white lady spider :’)  ran out of space for now but definitely planning on getting a lot more after i move 

i don’t know how to link pictures on here or if i even can, so instead i’ll provide a list of all my babies lol (not just arachnids but general invertebrates as well) 

i own: 

mexican rose grey tarantula/tliltocatl verdezi

guyana pinktoe tarantula/avicularia avicularia

veracruz red rump tarantula/tliltocatl kahlenbergi

costa rican zebra tarantula/aphonopelma seemanni 

curly hair tarantula/tliltocatl albopilosus

2 regal jumping spiders/phidippus regius

texas gold millipede/orthoporus ornatus 

2 ivory millipedes/chicobolus spinigerus

white lady dancing spider/leucorchestris arenicola

a colony of dubia roaches 

and i’m currently trying to raise a hawk moth


sorry for such a long post lmao but if anyone reading also cares for invertebrates i’d love to see/hear all about them!!

inverts are seriously so cool <3 your collection sounds really nice! i would love to get a milipede, but just haven't gotten around to it yet. so far i only have a salmon birdeater and a peach earth tiger. they're both nice to watch, but i hardly ever see my earthttiger- gotta love those burrowing species xD
