Hi all! So I've recently been, as someone on iHerp accurately put it, researching my face off about tarantulas. It got me to thinking where I first started in these crazy-obsessive hobbies, and how my attention span drifted off after a while. I wonder if others have experienced this.

From beginning to present:
Parakeets
Bettas (bred once)
Planted Aquaria & FW Fish (bred different species, grew and sold many plants)
Axolotls (raised tons from eggs)
Planted Vivaria &
Salamanders/Newts/Frogs*
Geckos*
Snakes (BPs mostly)*
Tarantulas*

The last four are the most recent, three of those within the last few years (even though I've always loved all manner of reptiles and amphibians, but the obsessive love is recent). And T's? I BLAME YOU ALL.

I still think about getting back into FW aquaria, but..limited funs do not mean unlimited hobbies! Where did you start, and where are you now? How many different things do you divide your time with..and are you keeping up? I noticed that a LOT of ball python lovers end up with T's..and yet on the flipside, I've gotten almost no response on the topic of T's on my gecko forum. Interesting?
