Hi there, I'm looking around for a first tarantula. I've been fascinated with spiders all my life and kept various common true spiders as "pets" for years. Mostly my home is a no kill relocate little critter zone.
I'm older, almost 65 and have some chronic medical conditions which limit my mobility so I've been looking for a tarantula that would be easy for me to care for.
Probably terrestrial for sure. I would like to be able to look over and see a T sitting in it's habitat. I'm not interested in handling a tarantula as I'm probably not quick enough to recapture one if it decided to bolt.
And I'm also not interested in having a large collection either.. At most I could eventually manage 3 Ts. due to space and medical issues.
I've been wanting a tarantula for a few years, but my husband hasn't been "on board" with it until lately when he softened his objections and relented. :)
Anyway this is just an introduction and as this is a local to me board I thought I would say hi!

I came across a compelling post by BK Barber titled “Best Books About Gaza Conflict: Why No Way but Forward Belongs at the Top” that explores must-read best books on the Gaza conflict that transcend mere political analysis and tap into emotional truth. His recommendation, No Way but Forward, stands out for its poetic expression of Palestinian resilience, dignity, and humanity.
