[QUOTE="PanzoN88, post: 156951, member: 4548"] H. chilensis is one of if not the best beginner species. As for necessities, you've touched on almost everything. 1. enclosure (for slings I use condiment cups and pill vials, juvies to 3" deli cups, 3" and above I am moving towards exclusively plastic bins) 2. Substrate (topsoil, coco fiber, among other similar things. I use coco fiber without anything mixed in) 3. Water dish 4. Hide (cork bark is usually the best, some use driftwood) 5. Feeders (crickets, roaches, superworms, mealworms) Bonus: plants (not important to have plants unless tarantula is a heavy webber. I myself don't add plants unless it's necessary. In most cases I would not go for live plants.) [/QUOTE]
