Hello,
My name is Dave and I have been keeping herps for a long time. Within the past two years I have gotten into invertebrates, and even more recently I have gotten into tarantulas. I currently am mainly dealing with centipedes and mantids.

Whats up Herp? 

Yep, you can claim the first post alright.  We talked via email.  Thanks agian for the suggestions.  I guess it’s appropraite that I throw up an indroduction as well.

Hello,

It goes without saying tarantulas and other invertabrates are an interest of mine, and being a web developer by trade, it’s been on my mind to marry the two.  In that regard, I’ve been finding my self with the thought that wouldn’t it be cool if a tarantula website could… and decided to to turn those thoughts into a major “pet” project.  (Pardon the pun.) This site is baby fresh right now and I’m still plugging away at some of the features, but hopefully with some help from some fine folks we can turn this place into a valuble resource and community.
