[QUOTE="Wizard Lizard, post: 136645, member: 28252"] tl:dr don't know what I'm doing. My neighbor who's in his late 60's had a heart attack recently, Asked me to keep his spider (Trying to get rid of animals and lighten his load I would assume). I didn't want to turn him down and figured they would be low maintenance in comparison with Lizard's I've owned in the past. The only thing he told me was that it was around ~6 years old and that he thinks its a "Mexican Blond" and he last fed it around 2 weeks ago. [SPOILER="Here's what it looks like: "][ATTACH=full]32008[/ATTACH] [/SPOILER] I don't want to improperly care for it and decided to turn to this forum after a couple of hours watching youtube videos on how to care for a tarantula to see if there was anything I'm missing. I've added warm water to its water bowl the day I got it and waited a couple of days before putting two crickets in its enclosure. I'm getting kinda worried because it's supposedly around week 3 of it not eating and it seems disinterested with the crickets. It also keeps rubbing its abdomen on the substrate, I'm going to assume its webbing but I wasn't aware Tarantula's do that. Any information would be greatly appreciated, especially if you could identify what kind of T it is. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
