Message: <blockquote data-quote="hopeful_tarantula" data-source="post: 22159" data-attributes="member: 2537">Hey everyone.As you know, my parents have finally allowed me to get a tarantula, and I think I have found the species I want. But I wanted to ask a few questions first (if I may):Chaco Golden Knee (Grammostola pulchripes)1) What is the care needs for a spiderling Chaco? 2) Is a spiderling more difficult to care for than a Juvenile?3) Is the Chaco a good tarantula to get for a beginner?4) Is there a specific time of year to buy a Chaco? I've been looking around on website stores in the UK and there doesn't seem to be much available at this time of year.5) What is the Chaco's temperament like?Regarding feeding and general care:1) If I can't get 'pinhead' crickets for a spiderling, what else can I use?2)  What is the habitat for a spiderling, juvenile and adult Chaco?3) If I get a spiderling, how do I go about giving it water if it is tiny?I do hope you can help me with these questions. I've been looking around since well before my parents allowed me to actually get my first tarantula and it was actually my Mum who chose the Chaco Golden Knee over all the other 'beginner' species I showed her...it was between Chilean Rose, Mexican Red Knee and the Chaco Golden Knee.Julia x</blockquote>
