Howdy All,

Albeit a little late, here is wishing you all a Cracker of a New Year Smile May 2012 be filled with endless growth, boundless possibilities and brimming with prosperity Cool

It's time to start making it better and stop waiting for it to just get better Smile The future is yours, reach out and grasp it with both hands Smile

Now on a different note and totally unrelated to anything 'Gay' I've gotten quite interested in a new hobby... And I never thought for even a second that I would be saying this as I am a Mild Arachnophobia, but I have my 1st pet Tarantula Spiderling Smile

It is terribly cute being more of an egg with legs for the time being but this being what it is I need help.

Does or Has anyone here ever kept spiders as pets and what are the basic care instructions for such pets.

My Curly Hair Tarantula Spiderling is only a few days old from sack-split and I don't know yet whether it is male or female.

If anyone has any recommendations, information or guidance on this topic it would be greatly appreciated. You can email me directly at dobison@gmail.com

Thanks again all and hope you have a most Awesome Day and Weekend,

Much Love - Michael
