Things I Wish I Knew About Tarantulas Before I Got Into the Hobby

So, I had covered this topic in a blog article years ago, but I really thought that it would be fun to revisit it. For those just getting into the hobby, maybe talking about these trouble spots can help you to avoid some grief. As for the veterans, I think many of us forget how confusing aspects of the hobby could be when we first got into it. Perhaps talking about some of the pitfalls will help us to be more reasonable the next time we have to answer a newbie's question.

A podcast devoted to the proper care and upkeep of tarantulas and other inverts. After keeping a G. porteri for over 16 years, I decided that I wanted to add another tarantula to my collection. Several years later, I now keep over 100 specimens and 90+ different species. It’s safe to say that I am now completely addicted to the hobby. I’m NOT an expert, and I’m currently still learning about keeping these fascinating creatures. In fact, there are so many species, that I suspect that I’ll still be learning years from now. A teacher by trade, I enjoy passing along what I’ve information and techniques I’ve discovered and helping others in their successful pursuit of this hobby. I enjoy hearing from folks, whether through comments on the blog or email. I have done and continue to do a lot of research, and I will only be discussing animals I personally keep, so the information I present should be current and accurate.
