My name is Brandon Stoner (not quite sure why everyone is hiding theirs). I am 22.

I am a software architect in Salt Lake City, Utah and have 13 tarantulas, 3 scorpions, a snake, and my rat. I was always into insects as a child, and I wanted a tarantula since before I can remember... Although I slowly forgot that I wanted one as I grew to being a teenager, my roommate ended up being given a Rosea just over 9 months ago. After that, I started getting my own - since my mom wasn't around to tell me they aren't allowed in the house any more!

I have:
Eight "communal" OBTs between one and three inches. I had 9 - but sadly, one died last week in his burrow...
Three Pandinus imperator (emperor scorpions) whom are all about 4"
Two Avicularia avicularia, at about 2" - named Marko and Polo
A Lasiodora parahybana, which is probably about 8" right now. I think it's a female
A Aphonopelma seemani, whom is about 3" and is always freaking out over nothing!
A 1" Brachypelma vagans, who is mostly a pet hole
A 4' long burmese python, named Poochy... Poochy the Python
and Fistula, my adult "fancy" rat.

Thought that I'd join in and add a profile post, too
