[QUOTE="McFryin, post: 94294, member: 11636"] Hey everyone! I've been interested in tarantulas since I was a little kid (I'm 30), and tonight I purchased a Mexican Red Knee for my wife for our 1st anniversary. This will be the first spider either of us has ever kept. I purchased this very tiny, fragile looking little dude at Petco where I live. It came in a small plastic container that is roughly a 2x2 inch square about 5 inches tall. It has a fake leaf in it and the bottom is a gray sponge. The container has a sticker on it that says, " Keep 77-85 degrees. Keep 50-60% humidity. Feed 3-5 crickets weekly. Mist 2-3 times weekly". I was planning on putting him in a 8x8x8 exoterra nano glass aquarium with the door in the front (which I wouldn't use) and the mesh lid on the top. My first question here is this, Is that 8x8x8 too big for this little dude? I mean I don't want to have him be freaked out all the time and not eat (I am determined to keep this guy alive and more than content) because the cage is too big.I just know he is not happy in the container he came in.
