I have kept tarantulas and scorpions for many years. Recently, I have whittled down my collection to fewer than 50, and keep only ornamental tarantulas of the genus Poecilotheria. Here's a pic of my favorite: a 7" female P. formosa.
NICE! I love pecilotheria!

Just got 2 Poecilotheria rufilata s'lings and 2 Poecilotheria striata s'lings.
They will go right next to my fasciata, and my regalis.

That is half the fun.
 
These impress me, I don't know anything about them except they are from Eastern Australia and can get up to a 10-12 cm. leg span so these pics are about life sized. They are the Giant Huntsman spiders (Holconia immanis), and the 2 pics are by G.Hunt, and bighairyspiders.com

I have seen those at reptile shows a few times. Cool spiders.
 
Spiders freak me out, but to get over my fears I got a couple rose hairs a few years back, one died, but I still have the other! He got mean since he molted 7 or 8 months back, so i havent had him out since! you have a very large collection, nice!
