Okay, this was how they came to me... I was not that serious until last year on 24/1/2008...when I finally picked up the phone and called Elson Tan.... after a year or so been in the state of uncertainty. Walla, I bought Brachypelma smithi , the most recommended tarantula for beginners, which I named her 'Milah'. She is a New World tarantula, so basically a little bit docile and does not bite all the time. instead she rubs off her ophisthomic utricating hairs.. in which can cause blindness if they get into the eyes or itchness to your skin. But so far, I always becareful when handling Milah. While we were busy doing trading, suddenly something looked crawling and black caught my eyes. It was in a plastic box. Medium size with black colorful, hairy body. I pointed at it as I asked Elson what species that was. It was Brachypelma auratum. After the lid was opened, I got stunned for a second the moment I saw her beauty. Elson seemed to have the instinct that the tarantula had just caught my interest. So, he let me have the spider and told me to pay for her up next time. I was so excited and speechless. I named her, Geedy for she was so greedy and gluttoneous when feeding. So, that night, I went back home with the two new pets that would change my course of life for the next 30 years...

How They Came to Me the Tokaebis....

It came to me as if I had been struck by a high voltage lightning. An electric current ran through my spinal cord, forcing the very nerve cells of mine to wallup the hemorgan buddies. Then, the andronaline buddy bursted out and rushed towards the bag of myriad hollow tunnels. And I started beating and sweating.......they were there, right in front of the computer screen at the student lobby, at Korea University. They caught my attention very much and drew my curiosity. The year was 2005 and I wondered how I could get them on that time. Alas, I said to myself that one day I would get them once and for all...
