Ayo tarantula tumblr…
I’m a novice T keeper and have a lot of questions just generally because of anxiety worrying things I’m doing are wrong, even though I’ve done tons of research, so I’ve sort of resorted to asking on arachnoboards but uh…
Every post I make there I feel like a total moron whose husbandry is all wrong, the people there are all so hostile and genuinely I’m wondering is that what you guys experience too or am I just too sensitive? I want good T info as a novice but it feels like no matter what I say on arachnoboards I’m being shamed or am a bad or dumb keeper, and after my avic. purpurea sling died I’m extra paranoid but god REALLY don’t want to ask questions about my new tarantula there because I’m afraid of getting dogpiled.
Is this like a common experience on arachnoboards or am I just like genuinely unable to take criticism? Even now I’m a little nervous to post this, the impression I’ve had from the arachnid community so far has all been pretty hostile which has stopped me from even wanting to post pictures of my Ts, I just want to know if that behavior is considered weird to yall too or if I need to get thicker skin, because knowing me and the way my brain works that might genuinely be the case.
