I've been bitten again

[HungryGhost]

I've been bitten again by the tarantula keeping hobby. I kept Ts 12 years ago but once they reached adulthood I sold them so the could help keep the captive bred population going. Now that I've gotten into mantids my love of Ts has returned. In November I went to a reptile show looking for mantids and bought a Chaco Golden Knee. In February I returned and picked up a Salmon Pink Bird-eater, and today I ordered a Green Bottle Blue online. I really wanted a GBB 12 years ago but at the time they were a lot more expensive. The is it for a while.....I swear!

Yeah, I know that feeling. I have few tarantulas myself like B. balfouri, M. mesomales and M. robustum. Just like mantids, they have their own charm to.

It's hard to ignore their crazy colors and personality. I actually started with the T's then moved to mantis to be honest though.
