Tarantula Addict?how it started!!!!

[Ultum4Spiderz]

OK this is how I got into the hobby. lol like 5 years ago.
I wanted a Pet T real bad, so my grandma said she would pay for it.
I decided I wanted a pink toe.(bad choice) I took it home lmao got it a Immense 10 gallon cage......(fail__
I failed very bad this is the baddest pick of a first T ever.... NEW PEOPLE read up if you wana start with A, Avic....
MY first pinktoe died during its first molt when I owned it.....

..... because the MORON at the pet store didnt tel me how to care for them...
or even they needed humidity. potting soil. .

A year after they died I purchased a rose hair. lol. Just didnt feel right with no pet spider.
Then a while after that I bougth a new pinktoe read up and cared for it perfectly. it was a male and died a while ago..
Then I bought 7 T's off swiftsinverts because my one T died ...sadly one of my firelegs died....the cat knocked it over... I was very sad,..it was one of my favorites..

The remaining 7 of my Ts are fine... but chaco goldenkee is male.... and Fireleg will most likely be a male also

AND now im quite good at taking care of T's and want to order more T's!!!!!!
now just time to think of a way to convince my parents to let me get more.
THEY DONT understand how much I like T's
thanks guys ! hope you dont make the same mistakes as I did with my first 2 A. Avics.. they were sadly missed. along with my 3rd A avic(male) and fireleg

Currently : 7 T's
B Vagans. (red rump
B boehmei (fireleg
B alpilosum (curly hair
G rosea
N. coloratovillosus (BRazlian black & white
A. Anax- texas tan
Chaco golden knee..male gunna die soon

to be fair, a pet store isn't responsible for doing anything besides selling you a pet, or it's supplies. before getting any animal, it's ideal to do quite a bit of research and have everything ready to go before you even order/invest in getting it. again, i'm not trying to be a jerk, i just know how irresponsible pet stores (and occasionally breeders) will be. irresponsible stores and breeders are only interested in your money so it's up to you to make sure your t gets the best care it can!

and you really don't want to use potting soil. i talked to you about it in the PM but you never msged me back.

I know that was forever ago I do a lot of research before I EVEN consider a T..
