Anyone like Tarantulas? (Original Picture)

Good Afternoon Friends

Anyone here into tarantulas? Anyone like arachnids?

There was a time in my life around 10 years ago, that Hive account@customnature and myself started some tarantula breeding projects, sold captive bred spiderlings to the hobby, vended at shows, and even displayed and presented at an Insect Fair at Penn State University! It was such a hit, we ended up vending there as well!

One of my favorite projects was the breeding of Chilobrachys fimbriatus, or the Indian Violet Tarantula.
To the best of my knowledge, our breeding was the first “documented pairing” in the US hobby, based upon published breeding reports and documentation.

Here’s an action shot:

^^^Pretty, yet fierce!

And believe it or not, PSU has a picture of us vending on their website:

^^^Ah, to be young again! Hahah

This was one of the most fun times in my life. I learned a lot, met a ton of people, and working with the 100’s of Tarantulas we had was a blast!

Thanks for reading. I’d like to know your thoughts on Tarantulas, and arachnids in general. Leave me some comments below!
