Siddhartha and Nataraja are the first tarantulas that I have ever owned. Each resides in their own aquarium, as A. avacularias and G. Rosea should never live under the same roof- so to speak. I have only been in the hobby for about a year now, and with that comes my experience as a new keeper.
I love my tarantulas, and even though the idea of keeping one was strictly for photography, I have grown to love and treasure my “newbie” collection.
Today, Sid and Nata officially became the cornerstones of an expanding family in this household, as 3 spiderlings (and a couple of cockroaches) are now a fixture here.
These are my trials, thoughts and successes as a new keeper, and if Sid and Nata can bare with me, eventually they will make it to town. At that time, their tolerance of my clumsiness and ignorance will pay off in the gratitude and education of many. (GULP!)
