Hello from Austin, Texas

Morgonious · Jul 25, 2014

I am Lauren, and I am primarily involved in tarantulas. I have 96 specimens from 22 genera, and I thoroughly enjoy them. I have attached two of my specimens for show and tell... apparently I am 5.

I would like to widen my collection to include mantids, millipedes, and some beetles.

I am married, have three cats, and am, unfortunately, a brick in the wall.

Peace.

Here is my Brachypelma boehmei:

And my Avicularia veriscolor:

Thank you! I got into the hobby as a the last part of therapeutic work through arachnophobia... I am still a tad scared of them, but the fear doesn't make the decisions for me anymore. I will definitely check out the FB page!
