You can't go wrong with either one. Pick one of them to start and the other one will follow very shortly (trust me, you won't stop at 1 tarantula).
Welcome to the hobby and cheers!

How often should you feed a juvenile Az blonde? They said the last time it ate was Tuesday.

I agree with Aracnoenthusiast Both

How old? If it is adult, once every 2 weeks is reasonable. If it's an adult with s fat butt, you can go down to monthly. A sling--weekly. A juvenile, 1-2 weeks
I feed my adult female once every few weeks. She will take 2-3 crickets over 36 hours.
Hope this helps.

You cant see her too well but shes young. Also it's too soon to know the gender I just keep saying she lol. I think she might fall within that 1-2week range of feeding.

Nice score. Dont water that substrate any more...let it dry out. They like dry substrate. See your humidity gauge (they aren't that accurate) it is a desert species so it likes a drier environment.

Its plenty large enough to ventral sex...its in a perfect position for a photo.

Yeah, the substrate had just been rehydrated and ive been letting it dry. I don't know how humid they like it but i feel like the temp is ok.

If it is a wild caught female, it is highly likely the sac is fertile. Only way to tell is by pulling the sac at 30 days and checking the eggs. Also, your female appears to be too small to be an adult so no need to worry about that unless you breed her. If she has an infertile sac, eventually, she will discard it or you can take it from her. She will be fine.

Thank you! ️

I know im being paranoid about everything cause I've never kept a T before. I just got her on yesterday and she hasnt moved or left the top corner of her new enclosure. Im assuming she is going to move eventually after some time adjusting. This is normal right?
