It's been a while since I posted some pics, so last night I took some, hope you like them.

this is my Brachypelma smithi, my oldest tarantula, I got this one almost 9 years ago.

Grammostola rosea

Avicularia avicularia

Aphonopelma seemani

Haplopelma lividum

Nhandu chromatus

this one was labeled as a Brachypelma epicureanum at the petstore where I got it, but not sure if that's what it is.

Cyclosternum fasciatum

Pterinochilus lugardi, this the only good picture I've been able to take of this one, every time I open its cage it tries to escape.

Eucratoscelus pachypus

Pterinochilus murinus

and here showing it's friendly side

Some very nice Ts! I'm going to have to stay out of these forums before I end up getting one. They sure are pretty.

You can't just ever get one, they're more addictive and easier to house than herps, one is just the beginning :d

If you ever decide to get one, get a B. albopilosum, or a G. rosea, IMO they are great beginner tarantulas. my first tarantula was a B. albopilosum, I bought it because it reminded me of the times when I lived in Honduras, and we had a colony of them living in the field behind my house, I used to catch them with my friends, but I never kept one because my dad didn't want them in the house.

17! the most I've ever had is what I have right now, but I've had 1 B. albopilosum, 1 T. blondi, 1 P. cancerides, 1 B. vagans, 1 A. metallica and 6 Pandinus imperator. And at the moment I'm looking to buy a P. irminia, E. cyanognathus, P. regalis, C. cyaneopubescens and P. metallica.
