[QUOTE="Tgotty90, post: 127528, member: 8413"] Nice little chaco you have there. You should be ok at room temperature with that guy. I live in Ohio so not too much different than Michigan as fare as temperatures during the winter. I've been keeping Ts for 6 years and never had a problem with temperatures. As for your enclosure, the size is just right but you could use a little more substrate and a hide. Fill it about half way up with some more eco earth and add a something for it to get away when stressed. Premolt is when your tarantula is approaching its next molt. When the abdomen gets thicker and shiny that's a good sign its getting ready to molt, also most won't eat for days, weeks sometimes even months while in premolt. As for feeding, you could try a large with it, if it doesn't attack it within a few minutes just take it out. Id say medium crickets are perfect for that guy but I've had smaller juveniles take down large crickets with ease. Hopefully my input can help a little bit, other than that, welcome to the hobby and enjoy. [/QUOTE]
