[QUOTE="Tarantulafeets, post: 199452, member: 36666"] 1. I would feed once or twice a week, but there is no need to feed when the abdomen is plump. You can feed it less as it grows. 2. I wouldn't recommend handling, as it doesn't benefit the spider in any way, and it can only stress them out being taken from its home and walking on a giant creature. It can also bolt at any time, and can fall off and go splat on the floor. It can also bite you if provoked, and which might lead to jerking your hand and the t going splat. Best way to avoid all this? Don't ;) 3. For a small sling, you can keep it in a 16oz deli cup, and you can use a push pin to make ventilation holes. Fill the container 1/2 to 2/3 the way up with substrate, keep one side moist, and overfill the waterdish once in a while. Give it a hide and you should be good to go. For anything I missed, Tom Moran as Tom's Big Spiders on youtube has great husbandry videos on his channel. Here's how I set up my T albo as an example: [ATTACH type="full"]58761[/ATTACH] 4. To determine the gender, I would wait until it is about over 2 inches dls, but G rosea are really slow growers, so it will be a while before you can tell the sex. Hope you enjoy your t, and welcome to the forum!:) You are welcome to post anymore questions that you might have here. [/QUOTE]
