Ancient Animals

Your doing a great job everyone has to start somewhere and use all the critiques to your advantage. I just wanted to add as a little tip rose hair tarantulas are a dry species so you don’t need the moss or the moisture I only spray only a little when my rose hair is in pre molt as well as after otherwise just keep the water dish full and feed every week or so

Alright! Thank you very much for that tip! I’ll definitely move the moss over to my gecko cage.  I heard the rose hair is from South America but I wasn’t sure what part.  Is there a specific type of substrate you would advise? Perhaps mostly orchid bark and some sand or just one or the other? 

I have my rose hair on coconut fiber but make sure its dry cause when you do need the moisture say for example when they are molting it holds the moisture well. They are from the Atacama desert in chile which is scrubland desert. Although they are burrowers at choice (most won't) so there burrows humidity will be a bit higher otherwise humidity should he below 40%

3 to 4 times a week is overfeeding once a week is normal or twice a week is normal but I can't help but feed mine every 3 to 4 days haha

How do you transfer an OBT to a new enclosure? Im getting one from Jaimestarantulas. And am kinda nervous on moving it from its shipping container to its new home. Any ideas? (:

Use the best judgement common sense and caution and you should be fine and most of all know the spider you are trying to move

Holy crap! Well im sorry I wouldn't have any good suggestions for 45 degree temps I hate the ever so present temperature control problem

Why is the heat required? What is room temperature? 60 degrees should be just fine anything below that is iffy mine were just fine at 60 this winter and the last.

If I see one more article about that new “face-sized” tarantula spreading misinformation about how horrifying or deadly it is, I’m going to put about 10 asks in your inbox giving you the truth about it and I will not stop even if you block me.

Thank you! Oh my gosh your awesome!

Just up the humidity to assist in completing the molt he should be fine
