[QUOTE="Team Gomberg, post: 107856, member: 17204"] Hi everyone, I brought home my new tarantula on New Year's day and set her up in a glass 8x8 tank. I was told she's a sub adult. Does that sound about right when you see her size on my hand? [ATTACH=full]21758[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]21759[/ATTACH] I lined the tank's screen top with a clear laminate sheet so she can't crawl on it upside down and fall. I added some slits for ventilation and also added locks to the lid so she can't push it up. Is 6" of substrate enough? How damp or dry should I keep it? [ATTACH=full]21760[/ATTACH] She has a half log for a hide but hasn't used it yet. Does that matter? Do I keep it in there or is it a waste of space? [ATTACH=full]21762[/ATTACH] I have a silk plant in there for decoration. Is it better to have it up, off the ground giving her more floor space? (like in the photo) Or should it cover the ground a bit more for her to hide in? What is the scientific name for my rose hair? Sorry for all the questions. There is so much conflicting info on the internet it gets hard to know what exactly to do. I love this hairy little thing and want to do right by her! Thanks :) [/QUOTE]
