These pages were made to help those of us in the Tarantula Keeping Hobby.
It is my hope that with these pictures and the combination of the other collections like this one,
we can get a little closer to being able to identifying our pets in a more scientific way.

As time goes on, I envision a page for each species with enough pictures of the characters used to identify them.

What you see here is a website in its infancy.
ALL suggestions are welcome.
