[QUOTE="porcelainpig, post: 7420, member: 478"] About 4 or 5 years ago I acquired a rose hair from a friend that didn't want it. They were just gonna kill it and I have a hard time letting living things die. It's good they're easy to care for because, in all honesty, I don't know how this guy/girl is still alive. :/ Been with me in some pretty ridiculous situations... I joined this forum to familiarize myself with them, and to take better care of it. It sort of took on the name 'Creep' or 'Creepy' because that's what people say around it. Seems docile enough... I've held it once and that was good for me. I'm not sure on specifics of caring for them, because I don't know what behaviors to look for if Creep does approve of something. A while back I bought a bark enclosure so Creep could hide and literally never see it anymore, so I know s/he likes that. That is all. Should I be putting special dirt in it's cage? I have only ever used straight potting soil. I have a feeling that's not suggested. Seems to never eat unless I offer it moths or praying mantis, which are scarce for me now. Never eats crickets. I've heard and read half yes and no about putting a sponge in it's water dish. Been using infrared heat lamps on it when it's super cold... I suppose I've been doing something right as Creep is still alive, but I have an opportunity right now to make this creature really happy, and I'd like to do that. Any input is highly appreciated. : ) [/QUOTE]
