My name is Richard Adams and it's my pleasure to be bringing you this website today.
I've been keeping exotic pets for over a decade and have kept dozens of species in that time
though my special interest is in tarantulas.
I studied at university as a zoologist and over the years have had some exciting adventures thanks
to my passion.
I've reviewed books, worked on TV programs, been a committee member of the British Tarantula Society,
taught exotic pet care to UK animal welfare trusts and more.
I have been building websites for years and getting some great feedback about them so it seemed like a natural
progression to combine my two hobbies - building websites and exotic pets - into one.
It was in the middle of 2004 that I finally made the big decision to build this site and finally launched it in early 2005.
I now live in Berkshire, just to the west of London if you're not based in the UK, with my collection of exotic pets, which I shall be
introducing you to in the newsletter as time goes on...
From time to time I have excess captive-bred livestock available and visitors to this site are the first to hear about it.
So please make the most of this resource that I put so much effort into, and make sure you join the community for the full benefits.
