Hey guys n girls, my name is damo.

Iv actually been sent here by anouther forum, by members, mods, and site owner. This is the part were you think "Why"...

To let you all know abit about me, i am a hobbyist of the things you fear, i breed and collect many diffrent species of tarantula's. Hence the username "TGUY" (T = tarantula).

Now for why i was sent to you all, alot of the community has spoke about you all, about your fear, and miss-informed info you have lapped up over the years about these animals. So we all came to a conclusion, as hobbyists of Tarantula's, we are offering you a chance to overcome your fears, to inform you correctly, and to help you through this most difficult time you have with spiders in general, and hope to one day bring more arachnophobe's into this amazing, hobby of ours, and to (hopefully) help you all out .

Also, we are more than happy to welcome you into our homes, and allow you to interact with many diffrent species of tarantulas, scorpions, centerpede's, millapede's , and so forth. Allowing you to see many diffrent colourful, docile/defencive tarantula's, in person while learn abit about them, and to help you overcome your fear ultimatly. Of course you do NOT have to touch, or handle them, we aint that cruel, you dont even have to look at them, just a meer chat as to why your scared, we want to help you.

I personally own over 100 tarantulas of diffrent species, diffrent colours, diffrent requirements, and 1 scorpion.

If there are any questions on this, or if you want to know somthing, like have i been bit/stung or why do they walk towards me when im sitting there with a cuppa tea, and a biscuite, just ask im very open, and considerate. No question is to stupid.

Good health to you all, and look forward to your responces and questions.

Best regards

Damo

Hello Tguy,

You know Cambodians eat tarantulas right? I read they are a cross between chicken and cod. Not that I'm interested, but I just felt like sharing. That being said, I don't like spiders. I'm getting to be okay with the tiny ones, but the big honking ones? No way, no how. I don't mind looking at them though. Thanks for posting on our forum.. it was really interesting. And welcome!

Colourgirl I'm right there with you.
Small creepy crawlies I don't mind so much, but bigger ones (not just spiders) just creep me out.
